- What is Brazilian (XX/XXX) Waxing?
Brazilian waxing is a hair removal method that removes hair from the entire bikini/pubic area.
XX – is typically top & sides, leaving a ‘landing strip’ (a thin strip of hair left at the front)
XXX- is the full monty! Where everything is taken off for a smooth finish.
- Is Brazilian Waxing Painful?
It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous about the pain, especially if it’s your first time. Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but the good news is that the pain is typically short-lived. Over time, regular waxing can make the hair grow back finer and thinner, and the pain often lessens with each session.
You can take a pain reliever (like ibuprofen) an hour before your appointment to help manage the pain.
- What to Do Before Your Brazilian Wax Appointment?
Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and successful Brazilian waxing experience. Here’s what you need to do before you come in:
- Hair Length: For the best results, your hair should be about 6-10mm long (around a grain of rice). If it’s too short, the wax might not grip the hair properly, and long hair can cause discomfort.
- Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your bikini area a day or two before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and reduce the chance of ingrown hairs.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to prevent irritation after waxing.
