Before your Brazilian Wax
Bikini Line, Brazilian
-
DO NOT shave before your appointment. The hair must be the length of a grain of rice or 1/4 inch in order to be wax properly.
-
It is ok to have a bush of hair. If the hair is super long and thick, we can safely trim if needed.
-
Exfoliate prior to your appointment. This allows the hair to release easier when the wax is applied and pulled which results in a minimization of the pain.
-
Don't take ibuprofen. Ibuprofen tends to thin the blood. Utilize alternative pain relief. (i.e. cool compress post appointment)
-
Shower or clean the area prior to your appointment
