It might be tempting to give up on a waxing routine and pick up a razor instead for instant gratification. This is totally fine—you can shave after a wax. However, this might put you back at square one because shaving leaves the hair with a blunt end, making it appear thicker and darker when it grows back.

Simply, trim down your hair beforehand if it’s slightly long to make the waxing experience more comfortable. Your therapist will take care of the rest.

What do I wear to a Brazilian wax?
Hear me loud and clear when I say you’ll want to wear loose clothing to your appointment and avoid tight-fitting underwear or pants afterward to prevent painful chafing against the raw, tender skin. Ophals also says to avoid touching the area, and for the most part, don’t put any products on it.
Is it better to wax or shave pubic hair?

Why is there still hair after Brazilian?
Shaved hair does not grow back in one cycle. I am seeing more and more that after a first wax, shaved hair will still appear days after the wax. This is typically because the client didn’t wait long enough for ALL of the hair to grow out.
Can you wax 2 days in a row?
Going over the same area more than twice can damage the skin — and be quite painful. If you still have a few stray hairs after applying the wax twice, use tweezers to remove them (try Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezer, $15).
Why do I still have stubble after waxing?

Can hair be too long for waxing?
Definitely. If your hair is longer than 1/2-inch long, it might be too long to wax. Before your appointment, you can lightly trim the hair with a pair of clean hair cutting shears. If you don’t have shears, you might want to leave it up to your technician to trim before your appointment.

Is Brazilian wax embarrassing?
It’s understandable that there will be a little embarrassment, especially for a first-timer as you may feel slightly uncomfortable being so exposed. Rest assured, our therapists have seen it all and, like a doctor or nurse, it’s their job.
