Are your services safe for pregnancy?

  Brow Enhancements  

Brow Enhancement services typically involve applying dye or tint to the eyebrows to darken or enhance their appearance. While these products are generally considered safe for most people, including pregnant individuals, there are some important considerations to keep in mind:

​

  1. Ingredients: It's essential to check the ingredients of the tint or dye being used. Ensure that the product does not contain any harmful chemicals or allergens that could potentially cause adverse reactions. Some common ingredients in brow tints include hydrogen peroxide and various colorants and developers. If you have concerns about specific ingredients, consult with a healthcare professional or your obstetrician. At WAXD our enhancement products contain allergens such as PPD (paraphenylenediamine) and more. 

  2. Allergic Reactions: Pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive, and you may be more prone to allergic reactions during this time. It's a good idea to perform a patch test before getting a brow tint to check for any adverse reactions or allergies to the products used.

  3. Inform Your Provider: Always inform your esthetician or brow specialist that you are pregnant. They can take your pregnancy into consideration when selecting products and may perform a patch test or make adjustments to ensure your comfort and safety.

  4. Timing: Some pregnant individuals experience changes in their skin during pregnancy, including increased sensitivity. If you're in your first trimester and concerned about potential risks, you might consider postponing the service until later in your pregnancy when your body is more settled.

​

In general, brow and tint services are not known to pose significant risks to pregnant people when performed by trained professionals using safe and suitable products. However, individual reactions can vary, so it's crucial to be cautious, communicate with your service provider, and consider your own comfort level and any advice from your healthcare provider. If you have specific concerns about the products or procedures please bring this up with your WAXD tech, it's also always best to consult with your obstetrician or a healthcare professional before proceeding.

  Waxing and Threading  

It is safe for pregnant women to wax, but there are some precautions and considerations to keep in mind:

​

  1. Sensitivity: During pregnancy, a woman's skin can become more sensitive due to hormonal changes. This increased sensitivity may make waxing more uncomfortable than usual.

  2. Allergies and Skin Conditions: Some pregnant women may develop allergies or skin conditions during pregnancy, so it's important to be cautious when waxing. WAXD recommends a patch test before using any wax to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

  3. Professional vs. DIY: If you're considering waxing during pregnancy, it's safer to have it done by a professional at WAXD we employ techs who are experienced in working with pregnant clients. They can use appropriate products, positions,  and techniques to minimize discomfort and risk of complications.

  4. Positioning: As pregnancy progresses, it may become more challenging to reach certain areas for waxing. WAXD techs assist and modifies positioning to comfortably wax.

  5. Swelling: Some pregnant women experience swelling in various parts of the body, including the legs and ankles. This can affect the ease of waxing certain areas, so be mindful of any changes in your body during pregnancy.

  6. Consultation: Before getting a wax during pregnancy, it's a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider or obstetrician, especially if you have any specific concerns or medical conditions.

​

Keep in mind that pregnancy affects each woman differently, so what works well for one person may not be the same for another. Always prioritize your comfort and safety, and if you have any doubts or concerns, consult with a healthcare professional before proceeding with any beauty treatments while pregnant.
