How to Prepare for Your Brazilian Bikini Wax


Most importantly before a Brazilian Wax, SHOWER... PLEASE!! Appointments straight after the gym are not pleasant for your technician! And, if you can't shower before your appointment, wet wipes come in mighty handy!

In order for a Brazilian Bikini Wax to be successful, the hair needs to be about a quarter of inch and 10 to 14 days of growth. Please note, this especially applies to first-time clients who have been shaving. The worst possible thing you could do to your bikini line is to wax too soon after shaving. Stubble is awful to take up if it is too short, and this is why I ask for the appropriate amount of time for regrowth.

It is a good idea to loofah your bikini line, very gently, the night before your Brazilian Wax. In fact, you can gently exfoliate your bikini line every day/evening. This helps deter those pesky ingrown hairs and aids in a speedy removal.

Come to your appointment relaxed. Being anxious about the Brazilian Bikini Wax can definitely contribute to it being more painful. Some people have mentioned that Advil or Motrin helps them before a Brazilian Wax, although there is no real evidence that this is true. I really do believe that if you prepare yourself mentally, it won't be as bad as you have been led to believe. If at any time you are too uncomfortable to endure the wax, you must let your technician know. Nobody is forcing you to do it. It's your body! However, the results definitely outweigh a little bit of discomfort.

Also, please, please remember to arrive at your appointment clean. I run a very hygienic practice.
