Are you getting ready for that big vacation and trying to get everything done last minute? No doubt many of you have a to do list that includes, “make waxing appointment” and “go to tanning salon.” If this is the case, make sure that in all the hustle and bustle and packing and planning that you schedule those appointments carefully.  One of our clients told us we needed a “Rule Book” for summertime!  So, here are the hot topics….


Chapter Four: Spray Tanning and Lash/Brow Tinting

We have a true story to share... 

We had an individual spray tan and then stop by our salon for a quick lash/brow tint on her way to the airport.  Well, the developer that was used in the tinting process reacted with pigment of the spray tan and turned her skin in those areas orange. So, there she was, with orange shaded eyebrows just in time for a vacation! 

Morale of the story: get your tints before heading to the tanning booth!

Planning ahead is key! Don’t try to push all of your appointments into the day before your vacation starts! Waxing the City studios are open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday – Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (and, for those of you in downtown Denver, the Lodo salon is open Sundays) and our highly trained cerologists and our administrative staff will do their very best to help you schedule your appointments in a timely manner.

Chapter Three: Spray Tanning and Waxing

Timing is everything! Waxing should occur BEFORE spray tanning (and again, remember the 24-48 hour rule!) Couple of reasons: first, if you spray tan before waxing it is probable that waxing will remove some of the tanning pigment as the outer layer of skin cells are removed during the waxing process. You certainly don’t want to pay for a beautiful tan and then have it removed prematurely or cause an uneven appearance of the tan. 

We also recommend waiting 24-48 hours after your wax before entering that spray tanning booth. A short physiology lesson – waxing “opens” your pores, so if you spray tan immediately after waxing it is very possible some of the pigment from the spray tan will enter into your pores and can cause uneven tanning and darker spots to occur. Also heading straight from the waxing table to the spray tanning booth, often times there is a residue left on your legs post-waxng and this will effect the tan.

Chapter 2: Tanning and Waxing

It’s a simple rule: We strongly recommend that you do not get waxed 24 – 48 hours after sun tanning (whether on your back deck or at a tanning salon) and to also wait 24 – 48 hours to tan after waxing.

The reason for waiting is that if the skin is burned, we cannot perform our best service. With a sunburn, the integrity of the skin is not in a good state. Skin Lifting can occur when the skin is hyper-sensitive and that can lead to a painful waxing experience. If you come into Waxing the City sunburned, your cerologist will not be able to perform your scheduled service(s) until the burn heals.

If you get waxed first, we discourage you from being in the sun or a tanning bed for 24 – 48 hours. During waxing, a layer of skin is exfoliated and your skin is more vulnerable, most especially to the sun. This can cause severe burning and dark unsightly blotches referred to as hyper-pigmentation on the skin. If you are exposed to the sun after a wax, make sure to use a high SPF for your protection!
