Waxing FAQs: Everything You’ve Wanted to Ask (But Felt Too Embarrassed)
Let’s be real—waxing can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to it. Whether it’s your first time or you just have some questions you’ve been too shy to ask, we’ve got you covered. No judgment, just real answers.
🧼 Do I need to be completely bare for a Brazilian?
Only the area being waxed needs to be exposed. Your esthetician will walk you through each step, and you’ll be draped or positioned in a way that keeps you as comfortable as possible. You’re never just “on display”—this is a professional service, and we do our best to protect your dignity at all times.
⏰ How long does the hair need to be?
Ideally, hair should be about ¼ inch long—roughly the size of a grain of rice. This usually means waiting 2–3 weeks after shaving. If it's too short, the wax won’t grip; too long, and it might feel more uncomfortable.
😳 Will it hurt?
Let’s be honest: waxing isn’t painless, but it’s quick and tolerable. The first time is usually the most intense because your hair is coarse and deeply rooted. But it gets easier with regular visits! We use techniques and products to help minimize discomfort.
🔥 What if I get aroused during a Brazilian wax?
It’s more common than you think—and completely involuntary. The skin in that area is sensitive, and some people have automatic physical responses. Don’t stress! Your esthetician is a trained professional and won't make a big deal out of it.
🩸 Why do I get bumps after waxing?
Tiny bumps or redness are normal right after waxing. They’re caused by irritation or the hair being removed from the root. They usually go away in a day or two. Using a gentle exfoliant and wearing loose-fitting clothing afterward can help prevent ingrown hairs and irritation.
📆 How often should I wax?
Every 4–6 weeks is ideal. Staying on schedule helps hair grow back finer and softer, and keeps the discomfort minimal over time.
🚫 Can I get waxed on my period?
Yes, you can! Just wear a clean tampon or menstrual cup. Keep in mind you may feel more sensitive during your cycle, so if you’re prone to discomfort, you might prefer to wait.
🤷♀️ What if I’m nervous or embarrassed about how I look “down there”?
Please don’t be! Estheticians have seen every shape, size, and skin condition imaginable. Our job is to help you feel clean, smooth, and confident—not to judge. You are normal, and you’re in safe hands.
