Brazilian Wax Misconceptions #7 - Shaving In Between Appointments Will Make It Easier

Alrighty there beautiful. Have you ever heard that shaving in between waxing appointments will make it easier? This couldn’t be further from the truth … and probably the worst myth that we’ve uncovered so far. Let’s discuss why.

Every hair on the body goes through 3 different cycles … the hair will grow, rest and fall out. When the hair falls out, there is another hair that will come through, similar to baby teeth and the adult one. The goal is to get all of the hair on the same cycle … and guess what? If you shave in between appointments, this will NEVER happen.

In addition to NOT getting you to smoother for a longer point of time, it will hurt more. No one wants more pain! Most likely, not all of the exposed hair will be able to be pulled out by waxing. So there are 2 options… leave the hair to grow out (my preferred option) or to tweeze. With tweezing, we may not be able to remove the hair without breaking some of it … which is simply a recipe for ingrowns.

It may be necessary to shave a bikini line on a rare occasion, but I do ask clients to trust the process if possible and to never shave in between appointments. The hair is very manageable unlike shaving (much finer and more sparse).

2022 is the year of the Brazilian. If you’ve ever though about it, I’d love to help you experience the best waxing service. Let’s schedule your appointment and help you experience the difference!

And please … no shaving in between appointments!

Don’t forget to

Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
