Why Choose Gameela Skin For Waxing

Gameela Skin has been one of the top choices for waxing and esthetician services in Phoenix for more than a decade. Choosing Gameela Skin for your waxing services means choosing: 

• High Quality Products: I know how important quality products are, especially when it comes to the delicate skin on your face. When it comes to waxing, I use only the highest quality products to ensure the best results with little to no irritation.

• A Comfortable Experience: Waxing can be scary! Especially when waxing more sensitive areas, I want to make sure that each and every client feels comfortable from the moment they walk into my salon to the moment they leave. 

• Customized Process: Eyebrows are so important to the face, and I make sure to treat them as such! There is no one-size-fits-all brow shape, and when you come to Gameela Skin, you can ensure the process will be customized to suit your brow shape and your preference. I specialize in customizing the shape of your brows to enhance and complement your eyes and face, working with your natural facial features to find balance and symmetry.

Most Asked Questions About Waxing

There’s no such thing as a silly question, and I’ve had a lot of questions over the years as an esthetician. Some of the questions I most frequently hear from my clients are:

What type of wax do you use?

I use Satin Smooth wax for treatments offered at Gameela Skin, and depending on the type of wax treatment I will use either Satin Smooth hard wax or Satin Smooth wax strips. Hard wax will be used primarily for services involving more sensitive areas, like the nose, ears, etc, but both hard wax and wax strips are safe for use on sensitive skin. I will only ever use wax that is safe and will be as gentle as possible, no matter what area you are getting waxed.

Is there a downside to waxing? 

Waxing is one of the best hair removal solutions since it removes hair from the root resulting in smooth skin that lasts longer than shaving. I’ve heard it all regarding the downsides of waxing, and I’m here to debunk some myths! Waxing will *not* make your hair grow back any thicker or darker. Regular waxing over the course of 2 or more years can even cause hair growth to slow. Waxing is not going to irritate your skin more than other hair removal methods; waxing is actually one of the more gentle methods of hair removal and is done less frequently than shaving which can leave your skin less irritated than if you were shaving regularly. Some side effects may occur from waxing, such as a bit of skin redness in the first 24 hours following your treatment or some ingrown hairs once hair begins to grow.

How much does waxing cost in Phoenix? 

The cost of waxing in Phoenix varies depending on which area you are waxing. For eyebrows, which includes shaping, waxing, and tweezing to ensure no hair is left behind, Gameela Skin’s price is $25. Other areas can cost more, such as a Brazilian Wax which is priced at $65. 

Who should be waxing? 

Anyone who is looking to remove unwanted hair is a candidate for waxing! If you’re fed up with regularly shaving, tweezing, or eyebrow threading, and looking for a service that has an added bonus of removing dead skin cells and lasting longer, waxing is going to be a great option for you. Gameela Skin offers waxing services to men and women. 

How long does waxing last? 

I recommend scheduling your waxing appointments for every 4-weeks. Everyone’s hair is a little different, but usually begins to grow in at around 3-6 weeks, so staying on a monthly schedule will help ensure you keep your skin as smooth as possible.

What Waxing Services Do You Offer?

At Gameela Skin, you can schedule an appointment for any type of wax treatment. If you are looking for something specific that is not listed on the services menu, just reach out to the salon! I offer several different services that may not be listed and can offer customized services to suit your specific requests. 

• Brow Waxing: Brow waxing is one of the most popular services, and includes shaping. I will work with your face structure to shape your brows in a way that suits your face, working with your natural beauty to frame and accentuate your facial structure.

• Lip Wax: Waxing the upper lip is a popular choice for women who want to remove any peach fuzz or coarse hair growing on their face. 

• Bikini Wax: If you deal with razor bumps or irritation on your bikini line, a bikini wax is an excellent solution. Removing hair on the front of your bikini area, this will eliminate worries of irritation and leave you with smooth skin for 3-6 weeks.

• Brazilian Wax: Similar to a bikini wax, but including full hair removal on the front of your bikini area and a butt strip.

• Nose Wax: A very quick wax to remove any stray hairs that are growing in or out of the nose.

• Underarm Wax: Many women prefer waxing their underarms to shaving, to avoid having quick regrowth and irritation from frequent shaving.

• Leg Wax: This can include the upper leg, the lower leg, or the full leg. A great option if you are going on vacation and don’t want to worry about packing a razor, or if you simply want to skip shaving every week.

  Waxing Aftercare Recommendations

  There’s minimal aftercare involved for waxing, but there are a few recommendations I can offer pre and post-appointment that can help keep irritation to a minimum, especially if you have sensitive skin. 

  About 7 to 10 days before your wax treatment, you should stop the use of retinol, vitamin A, and certain acids. This will give your skin enough time to avoid any irritation after your wax treatment. Additionally, if you are currently using Accutane, you should avoid waxing altogether. Accutane can cause the skin to be highly sensitive and prone to lifting, which can cause serious damage and scarring. If you have any concerns about a product you are using, please reach out upon booking and I can answer any questions. 

  For the first 24 hours after your wax appointment, try to avoid intense cardio or any workouts that will involve sweating. Sweating can lead to irritation as sweat can become trapped under the skin. Avoid exposing freshly waxed skin to the sun, hot tubs, saunas, or any extreme heat for at least 24 hours post-wax.
