It’s totally normal to feel a little nervous before your first waxing appointment. Whether it's your first time getting a Brazilian or even just a simple leg wax, you might have some questions or fears about the process. Let’s face it—anything involving hot wax and sensitive skin can feel a bit intimidating! But we’re here to help ease your nerves, give you some real answers to the most common questions, and remind you that waxing is so worth it in the end!
Common Questions We Hear All the Time
If you’re feeling nervous, you’re not alone! Here are some of the most frequently asked questions from first-time waxers and down-to-earth answers to help you feel confident:
1. Will it hurt a lot?
Okay, let's get real—it won’t be pain-free, but it’s definitely tolerable! The good news is, most people find it way less painful than they expected. And the more you wax, the easier it gets because your hair grows back finer and softer. Plus, we’re pros at making you feel comfortable and we use high-quality wax that’s gentler on the skin. If you’re really nervous about the pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to help ease any discomfort.
2. How long does the hair need to be?
We recommend at least 1/4 inch of hair growth for the wax to grip properly. This is about the length of a grain of rice! If your hair is too short, the wax might not be as effective. On the flip side, if your hair is too long, don’t worry—we’ll trim it to the ideal length before we start.
3. How do I prepare for my wax?
One of the best things you can do before coming in for your wax is exfoliate the area gently 24-48 hours before your appointment. This removes dead skin cells and helps prevent ingrown hairs. Also, try to avoid caffeine or alcohol right before your wax—they can make your skin more sensitive. Wear loose, comfy clothes to your appointment to avoid any friction afterward.
4. Will I need to be fully nude for a Brazilian?
If you’re getting a Brazilian wax, yes, you’ll need to be undressed from the waist down so we can reach all the areas. However, we work quickly and with a lot of discretion, so it won’t feel uncomfortable for long! For a bikini line wax, you can usually keep your underwear on, and we’ll just work around it.
5. How long will the results last?
Waxing removes hair from the root, so you can expect to enjoy smooth skin for about 3-4 weeks. With consistent waxing, your hair will grow back finer and slower. And no more worrying about shaving every other day!
