Embarking on the journey of Brazilian waxing can be a little daunting for first-timers. But with the right preparation, it can be a smooth sail towards that clean, fresh feeling. Our in-house waxing gurus, share their top 4 tips to ensure you're prepared for your first Brazilian wax appointment.

1. Let It Grow, But Not Too Much

If you're transitioning from shaving to waxing, you'll need a bit of patience. Let your hair grow out for about 4 weeks, ensuring it's at least 1/4 inch long, which is the ideal length for the wax to grip onto. Too short, and the wax won't catch the hair effectively; too long, and it might be more uncomfortable. If you're a non-shaver, a little trim might be in order, but remember: 1/4 inch is the magic number.

2. Manage the Ouch Factor

It's no secret that waxing can be a tad uncomfortable, especially the first time. If you tend to have a lower pain threshold, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment. While the initial appointment might have you gripping the edges a bit tighter, it does get better with regular visits as the hair grows back finer and less dense.

3. Freshen Up On-Site

Hygiene is key, and we've got you covered. We provide cleansing wipes in every room so you can freshen up before your service begins. Our favourite? The gentle and effective wipes from @ilovemymuffofficial, ensure you're clean, comfortable, and ready for your wax.
