Brazilian Waxing FAQS: Everything you need to know

A Brazilian wax is a popular hair removal technique that removes all or most of the hair from the bikini area, including the front, back, and everything in between. It’s known for giving a smooth and clean look, leaving you hair-free for weeks.

While Brazilian waxing can cause some discomfort, it is usually not unbearable. The pain varies depending on your pain tolerance, but many clients find it more tolerable with regular waxing. The more frequently you get a Brazilian wax, the less discomfort you may experience as the hair grows back finer. Feel free to take a Tylenol 2 hours prior if you have a low pain tolerance. 

A Brazilian wax typically lasts between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular Brazilian waxing helps reduce hair regrowth and can result in finer, slower-growing hair, extending the time between waxing appointments.

Before your Brazilian wax, it’s important to exfoliate the area 1-2 days in advance to help reduce ingrown hairs and ensure a smoother result. Avoid shaving or applying lotions or oils directly before the appointment. Ensure the area is clean and free of any irritations or cuts for the best waxing experience.

After your Brazilian wax, it’s essential to avoid hot showers, tight clothing, or sun exposure for 24-48 hours. Keep the area moisturized with a soothing lotion and continue to exfoliate every other day using a dry brush to prevent ingrown hairs and ensure smooth, hair-free skin.

Yes, you can get a Brazilian wax during your period, though it’s best to schedule your appointment a few days before or after the heaviest flow. Waxing during menstruation may be more uncomfortable due to increased sensitivity, so it’s good to be prepared for a slightly higher level of discomfort.
