Top 5 Things You Should Know Pre Waxing

If you are anything like me, you want to know what to expect with anything new. Knowledge is power, right?

So with that in mind, are you ready for the top 5 things that you should know before your first Brazilian Wax?

#5 - Grow your hair to the length of a grain of rice

Length of hair matters. If you shave, you’ll want a minimum of 2 weeks of growth, but 3 is preferred. If you normally trim, please just leave the hairs until your appointment.

#4 - Exfoliate the day of your appointment

You can exfoliated by using a warm washcloth in the shower the morning of your scheduled wax. Be gentle, yet thorough.

#3 - Avoid caffeine before your appointment

Caffeine (and alcohol) actually stimulate your nerve endings and you feel more pain. So, try to go without or minimize the amount that you are choosing to have that day.

#2 - Wear loose, comfortable clothing that day

Comfy clothes are best … and you’ll also want to wear clean, cotton underwear too. Think breathable and not too tight.

#1 - Just remember to breathe

This is my #1 tip!!! If you will just breathe and tell yourself it’s not that bad, you’ll be right. It will go pretty fast, and by the time that you are checking out, you’ll be ready to schedule wax #2.

Don’t forget to

Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
