Our line includes ingrown hair serums, nourishing post wax oils, a pH balanced body wash, professional soft wax, pre and post waxing oil, and Lash and Brow Conditioning Oils, all made to help prevent ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and irritation after waxing, sugaring, and shaving.

The three step routine

What should you put on your skin after waxing?

After waxing, cleanse with a gentle, pH balanced wash, treat with an ingrown hair serum, and hydrate with a light oil, then repeat every day between appointments. It is the same routine we send clients home with from our own studios.

The same three steps work after sugaring, shaving, laser, electrolysis, and tweezing, because every hair removal method leaves the follicle open and easy to irritate.

Meet the esthetician behind Just The Strip

Made in small batches in the hills of Southern Oregon

Just The Strip was created by Tawnya Fornerod, a licensed esthetician with almost 25 years in waxing who owns multiple waxing studios, including Wax & Lash in Denver, open for almost 13 years. She started the line in 2020 because she wanted aftercare she could trust on her own clients, and every formula is still used in her treatment rooms before it is ever sold.

We are family owned and family run, many of our products are poured by us in small batches in Southern Oregon, and every product page tells you exactly where that product is made, so you always know what you are putting on your skin. Our soft touch velvet boxes and glass bottles are made to look as lovely on a studio retail shelf as they do on your bathroom counter.

Questions, answered

Waxing aftercare questions, answered by a licensed esthetician

What is Just The Strip?

Just The Strip is a waxing aftercare line for estheticians, waxers, sugarists, and their clients, created by Tawnya Fornerod, a licensed esthetician with almost 25 years of waxing experience who owns multiple waxing studios. We are family owned and family run, many of our products are made in small batches in the hills of Southern Oregon, and every formula is used daily at Wax & Lash, our Denver studios, which have been open for almost 13 years. Our line includes a three step post wax routine with ingrown hair serums, nourishing oils, and a pH balanced body wash, along with Lash and Brow Conditioning Oils and professional soft wax, and we ship everywhere in the United States.

What should I put on my skin after waxing?

After waxing, cleanse with a gentle, pH balanced, unscented wash, apply an ingrown hair serum right away, and finish with a few drops of a light oil to hydrate the skin. That is our three step routine of Simply Pure Body Wash, Smooth Operator or Truth Serum, and Nourishing Oils, and it works the same after waxing, sugaring, laser, or shaving. For the first 24 to 48 hours, skip heat, heavy lotions, and scrubs so the open follicles can settle.

What should I use after shaving or laser hair removal?

After shaving, use the same routine as after a wax: a gentle, pH balanced wash, an ingrown hair serum such as Smooth Operator to keep follicles clear and help prevent razor bumps, and a few drops of Nourishing Oil to hydrate. After laser hair removal, follow your laser provider's aftercare instructions first, and once your skin has settled, the same gentle routine helps keep it calm and smooth between treatments.

How do I prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?

The best way to prevent ingrown hairs is to keep the follicle clear every day between appointments, not just on the day of your wax. Apply an ingrown hair serum right after your service and once a day after that, keep the skin hydrated with a light oil, and bring back gentle exfoliation two or three times a week once 48 hours have passed. Ingrown hairs form as the hair grows back, so consistency between waxes is what makes the difference.

Which products do you recommend during pregnancy and for sensitive skin?

Truth Serum, Nourishing Oils, and Simply Pure Body Wash are the products we recommend during pregnancy and nursing, and they are made for sensitive and reactive skin, so together they form a complete gentle routine. Smooth Operator contains salicylic acid and should be swapped for Truth Serum during pregnancy or for anyone with an aspirin allergy. Clients with specific concerns should check with their doctor.

Who are your products for?

Our products are made for both the licensed professional and the client at home. Waxers, sugarists, estheticians, cosmetologists, and salon owners use them in the treatment room and sell them on their retail shelves, while their clients use the same products at home between appointments. Everything works after waxing, sugaring, laser, electrolysis, tweezing, or shaving, on the face and body, for everyone who waxes, sugars, or shaves.

How does PRO pricing work?

Licensed waxing and sugaring professionals get PRO pricing with no application and no login. Every retail product is available as a PRO 3 pack at 50% off retail in our For the Pros Only collection, alongside PRO only products like soft wax, bulk oils, and lash lift supplies, and we confirm professional status on every order, so please check out with your business name and email.

Where are your products made?

Many of our products are made by us in small batches in the hills of Southern Oregon, including our Nourishing Oils, Pre and Post Waxing Oils, and Lash and Brow Conditioning Oils. Simply Pure Body Wash, our sugar scrubs, and The Polisher are made for us in the USA, while Truth Serum, Smooth Operator, and our lash lift formulas are made for us by manufacturing partners, and every product page tells you where that product is made.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, orders of $200 or more ship free from our home base in Southern Oregon by USPS or UPS. Soft wax, 16 oz and gallon Pre and Post Waxing Oils, and 8 oz PRO Nourishing Oils are heavy, so they carry a shipping charge that covers only their own freight, while the rest of your order still ships free.

What is your return policy?

Unopened products in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Because our products are skincare, we cannot take back anything opened or used, and if something arrives damaged or wrong, email hello@justthestrip.com within 7 days with a photo and we will make it right.

What makes Just The Strip different from other waxing brands?

Just The Strip was created and is still run by a licensed esthetician, so every product is used on real clients before it is sold, priced to stay attainable, and packaged in soft touch velvet boxes and glass bottles that look beautiful on a studio shelf or a bathroom counter. Many of our products are made in small batches in the hills of Southern Oregon, every ingredient is listed, and the same aftercare a pro uses on the table is what the client takes home.

Still have a question? A licensed esthetician from our studios will write back.
