Precautions

GiGi advises that the follow precautions apply to waxing clients:

• To eliminate after wax redness, recommend that clients take an antacid 1-1/2 hours before the wax service. Do not wax over moles.
  
  
• Do not wax clients that have the following condition: Sunburn, diabetes, phlebitis, recent scar tissue, or other skin conditions.
  
  
• Due to the side effects of increased sensitivity and irritation, it is not recommended that you wax clients that are using Retin A, Accutane, Tetracycline or Glycolic Acid.
  
  
• Be aware that during pregnancy clients can experience increased water retention.
  
  
• During the 24-hour period following a waxing service, the client should avoid hot baths, tanning beds, saunas or other heat treatments.
