Okay, this is the waxing service everyone is thinking and wondering about but is a little nervous to ask about. Out of all the services I provide, bikini/Brazilian waxing is what I do most! Some people will start off with a bikini wax to see what the results of waxing are like and eventually almost all decide to bite the bullet and do it all with a Brazilian! If you’ve been shaving and you’re dealing with the razor burn, raw/tender skin, ingrown hairs or a 5 o’clock shadow the evening after you’ve shaved, you owe it to yourself to try waxing and I promise you you will never look back!

Before your wax appointment:

• A few Advil 30 minutes before your appointment can go a long way. Take any pain relief you can get!
• Avoid caffeine the day of your wax. Caffeine is a stimulant and will increase your sensitivity to the pain and any reaction.
• Take a Benadryl before your wax if you’re able to without being drowsy the rest of the day. Otherwise take it the night after your wax. This helps with the “bumps” that some people get after their first 1-3 waxes. It is typically a histamine reaction from our skin not being use to being waxed which is temporary and will stop with continued waxing.
• Most importantly- make sure your hair is at least 1/4 of a inch long. Think of a grain of rice, if the hair is not long enough the wax will not be able to pull it out.

After your wax appointment:

• Have some over the counter hydro-cortisone cream on hand in case you do get those bumps. This will help bring them down very quickly.
• Neosporin is great to use afterwards
• Avoid saunas, hot tubs, working out, etc for 24-48 hours

With each wax it is going to get easier and you’re going to wonder why you haven’t always been doing it! Your hairs are going to become finer and more sparse with every wax. Your skin will get use to it and have less sensitivity each time. The pain level will go down as the hairs are going to come out with a lot more ease. You will only have to be waxed every 4 weeks!
