Brazilian Wax Tips

 

Brazilian Wax Tips

For starters, know what you’re getting into. What’s the difference between bikini and Brazilian waxing? 

Brazilian

Brazilian goes from the front all the way to the back with an added butt strip. It's perfect for a completely nude look or you can leave a neat triangle, strip, or square on the front—totally your choice. 

is a basic tidying; we wax the sides (called your panty line) and across the top. If you're wearing a bikini, this prevents any hairs from peeking out.


Now that we’ve established that, here are all the essentials to get you ready for your Brazilian wax.

  1. Pop a pain reliever. If you’re nervous about the pain, take an Advil or Ibuprofen approximately 30 minutes in advance of the wax appointment.

  1. Wear loose clothing
  1. Make sure your waxing hair length is the appropriate one: about a 1/4 inch. (Length of a rice grain)

  1.  Disclose any sensitivities, allergies, prescriptions you’ve recently taken.
  1. If asking questions eases your anxieties, then by all means, keep ’em coming. Need your waxer to walk you through the process? Strike up small talk. Not the chatty type? That’s okay, too. Our wax specialists will follow your lead.

  1. The act of eliminating dead skin cells preps your hair for waxing. Meaning: Exfoliate your skin the day before your wax…

  1.  Avoid lotions and creams on the day of your wax because they can interfere with the process.

  1. Adding to the previous point, skip tanning your to-be-waxed area 24 to 48 hours prior to your wax. 

  1. Try to avoid caffeine and alcohol a few hours before your appointment, consuming it can cause water retention and leave skin more sensitive. So pop the bubbly and cheers your smooth self—post-appointment only. 

  1. Most important: Breathe. Yes, Brazilian waxing is a sensitive area (both literally and figuratively). You’re disrobed from the waist down, but don’t let that deter you. Our wax specialists are complete pros. In a completely professional atmosphere.  And just think of the smooth skin you’re going to have in the next 20 minutes or so.

  1. Exfoliate and moisturize 2 days after your appointment to keep the area smooth and bump free. Exfoliating will make it easier for the hair to grow and prevent ingrown hairs.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HARD WAX AND SOFT WAX?

  Hard wax is  thicker than soft wax and works by hardening on your skin  — hence, the name.  Hard wax is less painful on the face than soft wax. Hard wax leaves no sticky residue. It is much easier to clean up. Hard wax grabs shorter hair, eliminating the need to wax on the same area twice. Hard wax is significantly more costly for suppliers to purchase, making it less popular in regular salons. When using hard wax, the hair follicles and pores open up from the heat, making it much easier to pull the hair out. Soft wax is  applied with a waxing spatula before being removed using a muslin strip .  Soft wax adheres to skin more than hard wax, exfoliating skin more. Soft wax grabs fine hairs perfectly, working better on large areas of the body than hard wax. Unlike hard wax, soft wax cannot be applied to the same spot twice because it removes layers of dead skin. Even if soft wax tends to be stickier than hard wax, there is no special preparation needed.
