Questions About Brazilian Wax?
Embarking on the journey of Brazilian waxing can evoke a mix of excitement and apprehension. We’re here to navigate you through the process, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. Here’s everything you need to know about Brazilian waxing, from preparation to aftercare.
What Is a Brazilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax removes almost all pubic hair, from the front to the back, leaving a thin strip of hair at the front, or none at all, according to personal preference. It’s a popular method for achieving a clean, smooth look and feel.
How Long Do They Last/How Often Should You Get Them?
The smoothness from a Brazilian wax typically lasts 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate. As hair grows back finer and sparser over time, the intervals between your appointments might extend.
Preparation Tips
Let Your Hair Grow: Your hair should be about ¼ inch long (about the size of a rice grain) to ensure the wax can grip it effectively.
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliating the area 24-48 hours before your appointment can help remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
Avoid Lotions and Oils: On the day of your wax, keep the area clean and free from lotions or oils to help the wax adhere better to the hair.
Duration of Service
A Brazilian wax service can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the density of the hair and your individual needs.
Does It Hurt?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but it’s common to experience some discomfort during the waxing process. Our experienced estheticians use techniques to minimize pain and ensure the most comfortable experience possible.
During Your Period?
Yes, you can get a Brazilian wax while on your period. Just use a fresh tampon before your appointment and inform your esthetician.
During Pregnancy?
Brazilian waxing is generally safe during pregnancy, but your skin may be more sensitive. It’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider first.
What Should I Wear?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to avoid irritation after the waxing. Cotton underwear is ideal.
Can Men Get Them?
Absolutely! Brazilian waxing is not limited to women; men can also benefit from the hygiene and aesthetic appeal. We offer a comfortable and discreet service for men, often referred to as a “Manzilian.”
Best Practices Before and After the Service
Before:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water the day before your appointment to hydrate your skin.
Relax: Being relaxed can help minimize discomfort during the waxing.
After:
Avoid Heat and Friction: For the first 24-48 hours, avoid hot baths, sunbathing, or any activities that might cause sweating and irritation.
Exfoliate: After 48 hours, gently exfoliate the area 2-3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs.
