As a well-rounded aesthetician, I’ve collected a great number of hacks or tips that could improve everyone’s experiences when it comes to the popular Brazilian wax. So today I’ll share them with you:

1. Trim Before Waxing.

Your pubic hair needs to be long enough to wax (about a quarter of an inch long), but if it's too long it's going to become a matted, painful mess.

2. No Need to be Ashamed

Whatever it is you're embarrassed about, beauty technicians have seen it all before. It's near impossible to shock professionals when it comes to body stuff.

3. Wait until the week after your period to get waxed.

When you're PMSing or on your period, you're more sensitive to pain. There's no reason to make it worse for yourself.

4. Avoid UV rays before your wax.

It may thin the skin. So stay out of the rays for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

5. Prep your skin.

Make prepping your skin part of your pre-wax routine. It always helps and is also fun!

Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed 24 hours before the waxing service (i.e. using a washcloth in the shower).

Pro-tip: Routinely exfoliate the waxed area as part of your post-wax routine as well to prevent ingrown hairs.

6. Avoid shaving down there in between appointments.

This will only cause the pain to increase as well as make ingrown hairs more common.  

7. Wear loose clothing to your appointment.

For the rest of the day, you should steer clear of applying too much friction from tight-fitting clothing or exercise, lest you may wind up with even more irritation or ingrown hair in the waxed area.

So there you have them. Hopefully these tips will make your waxing experience a lot easier and fun.
