Waxing Q&A: Waxing Safety 101

Hi, I'm thinking about getting my first bikini (maybe Brazilian) wax. I've heard good things about Waxing the City, but I do have some questions.

I pulled out some magazine articles about waxing, and I'd like to hear your take. One of the articles says that the wax should be 99 to 101 degrees and that the cerologist should either use a new pot every time or not double dip. Another says that a salon should incorporate an anesthetic into the wax. I want to wax, but I need to know!
Thanks!

My name is Summer, I am one of the owners of Waxing the City. I received your email and would like to ease your mind about the concerns you have about waxing. Your safety and your comfort is our number one concern, and you’re right, if you’ve never been waxed before it can be a little intimidating. What makes it even harder is that there is a lot of misleading information out there regarding hair removal. There was an article in a recent issue of Women’s Health magazine that was great and really informative, but anyone that didn’t read the entire article – because all the “good stuff” explaining the facts about waxing safety wasn’t until the end of the article – would be scared away.

But, asking questions and getting all the information you can is the best way to ease any nervousness.

Rest assured that at Waxing the City we take all precautions to provide a clean and safe environment. We have our sheets and towels professionally laundered, our instruments are soaked in barbacide which is diluted to appropriate FDA standards, our cerologists wear new gloves for each client and, last but not least, our wax is heated to the appropriate and safe temperature, 140 degrees to 160 degrees, to avoid the spreading of any disease-causing bacteria.
The following are some facts about bacteria and wax:

To survive and reproduce, bacteria needs time and the right conditions: food, moisture, and high temperatures. Other factors affecting bacterial growth and reproduction are pH, oxygen and light. The ideal temperature for bacterial growth is between 40 and 140 degrees, what the Food Safety and Inspection Service calls the "danger zone.”

The fully heated wax pot temperature is greater than 140 degrees, making it a hostile environment for bacterial growth. A bacterium also needs moisture for growth, and there is no moisture in depilatory wax.
Pasteurization, which occurs at 159 degrees, renders the Hepatitis B virus inactive, meaning that there is no risk of spreading HBV in this manner; nor HIV, which is much less resilient than HBV. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has no record and has received no reports of cross-contamination from waxing services.

I hope this answers your questions about waxing safety. Please feel free to contact one of our salons if you have any further questions.

We will look forward to seeing you and providing your first
waxing experience.

Sincerely,

Summer
Waxing the City- Dallas
