How to Prepare for Your Brazilian
Preparation for your appointment is SO important, bestie! These simple steps will ensure a thorough wax with lasting results.
-
Put the razor down. Skip shaving or trimming for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment. The longer the hair the better. Trust us.
-
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. In the two weeks leading up to your appointment, exfoliate 3x per week, skipping the day of your appointment. We love Bush Balm Exfoliate (LINK) and have it in stock at Midtown Beauty Co. now!
-
Keep those hairs soft to keep your wax smooth. Try using a moisturizing oil to keep hair follicles soft for an effective and ingrown free Brazilian wax. Jackie recommends Bush Balm Ingrown Hair Oil which you can grab at your next appointment!
What to Expect During Your Brazilian
Welcome to Midtown Beauty Co. babe! Jackie will greet you once she is ready for your appointment. When you enter the treatment room, you will see a wipe as well as an add-on sheet with other services you may like to do that day (time permitting). Jackie will have you disrobe from the waist down and hop up on the bed, of course all while chit chatting or catching up! If it is your first time waxing, Jackie will talk you through the process and the positions she might have you in just to ease your mind. Her goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
To prep the skin for the wax, Jackie will use a gentle cleanser that will make the waxing process more comfortable and clean.
Towards the end of the wax, Jackie will ask you if you would like her to tweeze and get any ingrowns. She will also remind you of an aftercare routine that will give you the best results possible! An oil will be applied to the freshly waxed area to help calm, soothe and moisturize the freshly waxed skin.
Let's Talk Results
Hair grows in cycles which means it will take a few waxes for all of the hair to be on the same growth pattern. While you will love the results of your first Brazilian, you may notice some hairs growing back faster than others. Think about it this way, at your first appointment, some hair will be grown out, some hair will be short stubble and some hair will be below the skin. At that appointment, the long hair will be removed but the stubble and hairs under the skin will remain. Consistency is KEY for that smooth, bikini ready wax.
Say NO to Ingrowns with Aftercare
For the best, long lasting results, a good aftercare routine is key. In the first 24 hours after your wax, plan on skipping out on:
-
Intense workouts or sweating
-
Heat such as hot yoga, hot tubs or saunas
-
Sex
-
Application of lotion, creams, self tanners etc.
After that 24-48 hour mark, you can pick-up on your aftercare routine. This looks exactly like your waxing prep routine, including: exfoliation and moisturizing. This helps keep dead skin cells away and keep hair follicles soft. This is the BEST way to keep ingrowns away...because ingrowns are NOT your best beach accessory.
Don't forget to ask about our new memberships when you're in for your first appointment! Bundles of Brazilians plus a ton of other perks? We wouldn't let you miss out on this!
