Many of us love pampering ourselves at home with DIY waxing, facials, or hair care. But are you sure you’re doing it the right way?

At BuonSalon.com, we’ve seen hundreds of clients unintentionally damage their skin or hair by repeating small mistakes—especially when doing beauty treatments on their own. Here’s a list of 7 common salon mistakes people make at home, and what our professional beauticians want you to know instead.

❌ Mistake 1: Waxing Without Exfoliating First

Why it’s wrong:
Dead skin and dirt can block the wax from sticking properly, leading to patchy hair removal and ingrown hair.

What to do:
Gently exfoliate 24 hours before waxing using a scrub or loofah. At BuonSalon, our professionals always prepare the skin before waxing for smoother results.

❌ Mistake 2: Overdoing Your Face Masks

Why it’s wrong:
Using face packs too frequently can dry out or irritate your skin—especially clay or charcoal masks.

What to do:
Limit face packs to 2 times a week and match them to your skin type. Our facial experts at BuonSalon recommend personalized treatments that balance your skin instead of overworking it.

❌ Mistake 3: Using Hot Tools Without Heat Protection

Why it’s wrong:
Straightening or curling your hair without heat protection can cause irreversible hair damage and breakage.

What to do:
Always use a heat-protectant serum. Better yet, book a BuonSalon hairstylist at home who uses professional tools and products.

❌ Mistake 4: Threading Your Eyebrows in Poor Lighting

Why it’s wrong:
Bad lighting = bad shape. Eyebrows frame your face, and uneven brows can change your whole look.

What to do:
Use natural lighting and a magnifying mirror, or book a BuonSalon eyebrow expert who knows the perfect shape for your face.

❌ Mistake 5: Not Cleaning Makeup Brushes Regularly

Why it’s wrong:
Dirty brushes can carry bacteria that cause acne and skin infections.

What to do:
Clean your brushes weekly using mild shampoo and let them air dry completely. Our makeup artists always use clean, sanitized tools for every appointment.

❌ Mistake 6: Applying Mehndi Without Prepping the Skin

Why it’s wrong:
Oily or unclean skin can reduce mehndi color intensity and make it fade quickly.

What to do:
Clean the area with soap, avoid creams/oils, and stay warm after applying. At BuonSalon, we also recommend post-application care for rich, long-lasting color.

❌ Mistake 7: Ignoring Aftercare

Why it’s wrong:
Most people forget that beauty treatments don’t end when the service does. What you do after matters just as much.

What to do:

• Avoid sun for 24 hours after waxing or facial

• Don’t apply makeup immediately after a cleanup

• Moisturize daily to maintain glow
