How to Prepare for a Brazilian Wax Like a Pro
Preparing for a Brazilian wax doesn’t have to feel like rocket science. With the right preparation, your appointment will go smoothly (pun not intended!) and leave you feeling iconic. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you prep for your Brazilian wax at Jade Luxe Beauty in Braintree.
1. Let It Grow
You don’t need to grow out a bush but we do need at least ¼ inch long hair approx. the size of a grain of rice. Any shorter, the wax could be uneven due to the wax not being able to grip the hairs.
2. Exfoliate, But Keep It Gentle
Exfoliate the area a day or two before your appointment to remove dead skin cells. You can use an exfoliating glove—nothing harsh. The goal is to prep, not irritate.
3. Skip the Lotion
On the day of your appointment, avoid applying any lotions, oils, or creams to the area. We want the wax to grab the hairs, not slip off them.
4. Dress for Comfort
Post-wax, your skin might feel sensitive. Wear your comfy sweatpants or loose-fitting clothes made of breathable fabric. Tight jeans or leggings? Leave them at home!
6. Keep Breathing
First time or anxious? You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment. So long as you keep breathing, we are in the clear, and next thing you know, it will be over! #Yapper. Our goal is to make the waxing experience quick and comfortable.
8. Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol
Skip the espresso or shot. You think that a shot of tequila will help but it will make you more sensitive, which isn’t ideal. Stay hydrated with water.
9. Plan Your Day Accordingly
After your wax, take it easy and avoid activities that can irritate the area like swimming, tanning, or working out for at least 24 hours. It’s a great excuse to take a self-care day!
10. Trust the Process
Trust me, it gets easier after your first Brazilian wax. It gets easier once you have a routine and come back every 4-6 weeks at Jade Luxe Beauty.
