Brazilian Waxing Questions Answered

Waxing works by applying a thin layer of warm or soft wax to the skin, allowing it to grip the hair down to the root. A strip (for soft wax) or the hardened wax itself (for hard wax) is then quickly pulled away, removing the hair from the follicle.

Because the hair is removed from the root rather than just the surface, results last longer—typically 3–6 weeks—before regrowth occurs. Over time, repeated waxing can lead to finer, sparser hair.

Lasts Longer – Removes hair from the root, keeping skin smooth for 3–6 weeks.

Gives Smoother Results – No stubble like shaving; skin feels soft right away.

Thins Hair Over Time – Repeated waxing can make regrowth finer and lighter.

Exfoliates the Skin – Removes dead skin cells along with hair for a healthy glow.

Saves Time – Less frequent maintenance compared to shaving.

Reduces Irritation – For many people, waxing causes fewer ingrown hairs than other methods.

Let hair grow – About ¼ inch long (roughly the length of a grain of rice) for best results.

Exfoliate gently – 24 hours before to remove dead skin cells and help prevent ingrown hairs.

Clean skin – Arrive freshly showered with no lotions, oils, or deodorant on the area.

Avoid sunburn & irritation – Don’t tan, use harsh scrubs, or get chemical peels right before your appointment.

Wear loose clothing – Keeps the area comfortable afterward.

Skip caffeine & alcohol – They can make skin more sensitive.
