April stopped by Painless Waxing Boutique, Chicago’s newest waxing spa to share behind the scenes scoop.
Everyone knows that when you look your best, you feel your best. And as much as we ladies try to take care of ourselves at home, sometimes we just need an expert.
Painless Waxing is that expert that you’re looking for. Located at 3146 N Lincoln Ave., they have an impressive menu that includes much more than waxing.
Though waxing is the most popular service, – they’re known for being super clean and not double dipping – Painless Waxing also offers facials, spray tans, eyelash extensions, makeup application, teeth whiting, and more. It’s basically your one-stop shop for instant glamification! (That is a word these days, right?)
One of my favorite things about Painless Waxing is that they offer parties at the boutique! Think about how fun it would be with your closest girlfriends to get some spa services together. So perfect for bridal parties, too! Added bonus – they’re BYOB, so feel free to bring the bubbly and let it flow.
If you’re new to waxing, here’s a few tips I’ve picked up along the way:
- Try not to get waxed when you’re close to your period. Skin tends to be more sensitive around that time of the month, so plan accordingly.
- If your skin is sensitive, take some over-the-counter pain pills before your appointment. Painless Waxing also offers complementary numbing cream for those interested.
- Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! This is so important to do the day before, and a few days following your waxing. Not taking appropriate exfoliating steps will lead to ingrown hairs. And ingrown hairs are not fun – or sexy – at all.
If you have any more waxing tips, we’d love to hear about them in the comments! And for those local Chicago ladies, if you check out Painless Waxing, make sure to tell them that Sassy Moms sent you!
