Brazilian Wax Misconceptions #3 - Shorter Hair Hurts Less

Maybe you’ve felt like the hair is a little too long and that you want to ‘help’ the process when you receive your Brazilian Wax. The most common response is to take personal trimmers and tame that jungle. But does that really help?

Imagine a tug of war rope where you have equal force on each side. What if the hair underneath is longer than the hair on top? If that is the case, the hair underneath will have more ‘pull’ than the hair on top, creating a little extra tug and a little extra pain.

I ask that all clients leave whatever hair that they have and do not trim before their appointment. If needed, we’ll do a couple of scissor cuts, but most of the time, it’ll remove out with ease.

If you have been a shaver, it’s important to have a minimum of 2 weeks of growth from the date of your last shave before your appointment. 3 weeks is preferred and will actually give you a better, longer lasting wax and will remove easier. Definitely a win-win. Every client thinks that their hair grows faster, but I’m here to share with you a little secret. It does not. You want the 2-3 weeks of growth or you’ll have other hairs pop through from underneath the skin sooner.

2022 is the year of the Brazilian. If you’ve been wanting to try a waxing service, the time is now. I can’t wait to help you with an exceptional wax. Come experience the difference.!
