The Wax Witch

The Wax Witch is a waxing business in Tinley Park, Illinois, based inside Electric Studios on Oak Park Avenue. Services are by appointment only, so clients book a time in advance.

Online booking is the quickest way to reserve a visit. Clients are asked to complete the client intake form after booking. Phone, text and email are also accepted, but replies can take several hours because staff are with clients during appointments.

The business gives clear guidance on preparing for and recovering from waxing. Clients are advised to let their hair grow out for at least three to four weeks beforehand, exfoliate two or three times a week with the last session at least 48 hours before the appointment, and moisturize daily. Stimulants such as coffee are best avoided before a visit, and time should be allowed after exercise.

Aftercare is also covered. Some redness and sensitivity may appear during the first 24 to 48 hours. For the first day, the business advises avoiding sun, heat, exercise, swimming and intimate activity, and wearing loose clothing. After 48 hours, regular exfoliation every two to three days and daily moisturizing are recommended, and exfoliating between waxes is suggested to help prevent ingrown hairs.

Cancellations and missed appointments require 24 hours' notice.

Services are by appointment only, and the business gives clients detailed preparation and aftercare steps to support smoother results between waxes.
