Waxing Tips When Pregnant

Are you pregnant and want to start waxing? Or continue waxing?

I’ve waxed many clients that are pregnant and expecting. This is especially helpful as the baby grows as soon, clients can’t see to shave down there.

Let the professional help! Here are my biggest tips!

#1 - Start NOW if you haven’t already started

With increased blood flow cause the discomfort to increase. This means to start early instead of just waiting to do a wax right before delivery.

#2 - Be consistent

Waxing every 4 weeks will give the best results, while also keeping your comfort in mind.

Another reason to wax regularly is that vitamins can also make the hair growth in better and faster than before.

#3 - Know that we may change positions for your comfort

What we did before, we may change depending on what your body needs that day. Estheticians are adaptable to all different body types and this is no different.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions or to ask for a different position! I can’t wait to help you during this special time in your life!

What Clients Want Their Estheticians to Know - Waxing Edition

“Practice what you preach” day is my favorite day of the month. I always look forward to treating myself to self care and skin care (aka = facials.) Sometimes it’s even a relaxing massage.

But in 2024, I found myself with perioral dermatitis, which meant no facial massage for a month!

I decided to try out different waxers in my area to still do this day.

If you’ve ever been in a wax before (or maybe you’re still too scared,) you might have thought to yourself, I wish I could tell my Esthetician _________ (fill in the blank.)

Estheticians actually really want to know what you are thinking. So even if it’s hard, I encourage you to speak up.

Here’s a couple of things that I think clients want their Estheticians to know during a Brazilian Wax.

#1 - I know you see it all, but I NEVER get naked and I’m embarrassed.

Estheticians are professionals and if you see a Brazilian Wax specialist, I promise we have seen it all. But yes. It’s a good reminder for us that clients can feel embarrassed and nervous.

I hope to put you at ease the moment you walk through the doors.

#2 - The wax feels hot.

Yes. Please let us know! Some clients are more sensitive to the heat in general. Also, second passes (known as clean up strips) will always feel hotter because there isn’t as much hair as a barrier AND that area has already been waxed. It’s your body’s way of letting you know that something is happening down there.

Sometimes I may be able to turn the heat down a smidge OR twirl the wax a few more seconds. Comfort is my middle name!

#3 - My hip flexors are getting tired. OR… muscle cramp!

Yes! Every client has different flexibility. So if your hip flexors are getting tired, let your waxer know before you immediately have to switch positions (which always happens when we have wet wax.)

There is more than one way to position clients. And I want you to be as comfortable as possible!

#4 - I have to syke myself out everytime I come here and I don’t think it’ll get any better.

Also, please know that this is completely normal! I find that waxing is a mind game. But feel free to let your Esthetician know. We may be able to offer some tips and tricks.

One of those tricks is to tell yourself it’s only 10-15 minutes of discomfort for a month’s worth of comfort!

Thank you for coming to experience your Brazilian Wax with me! I love doing everything in my power to make your experience 5 stars each and every time.

If I can do anything to make you more comfortable, just let me know!

Experience the Difference!
