 6 Dos + Don'ts of Brazilian Waxing

DO RELAX 
Do take a deep breath. Tap into your inner buddha.  Pretend you’re on a beach sipping a Mai Tai. The more relaxed you are, the better your waxing experience will be.

MEDICATION HEADS-UP
Do tell your Wax Specialist about any medications you're taking, like antibiotics, accutane, or topical creams like Retin-a, which might not be compatible with waxing.

COTTON FOR THE WIN
Do wear comfortable cotton underwear and loose clothing to avoid irritation.

BRAZILIAN WAX DONTS

NO NUMBING
Don't use any numbing creams. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but they don't actually penetrate the skin.

NO STIMULANTS
Don't consume alcohol or significant amounts of caffeine before your wax. Both can cause pores to tighten, which could make for a more uncomfortable experience. 

NO TANNING
Don't tan the area you plan to wax 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. And since the process of waxing exfoliates the skin, we recommend staying out of the sun for 24 hours after your wax, too. 

Some discomfort is normal, but our skilled professionals use techniques to minimize pain during the process.
