At Gild Beauty Bar, we always strive to create a professional, relaxing environment where our clients feel comfortable and pampered. If you're preparing for your first—or tenth—Brazilian wax, knowing what to avoid can make your experience smoother and more comfortable. Here are three important things to keep in mind to ensure the best results and a pain-free session.
Don't Wax or Shave Right Before Your Appointment
It may sound counterintuitive, but it’s best to avoid waxing or shaving 24 to 48 hours prior to your appointment. Overly recent hair removal can cause irritation and sensitivity, making the waxing process uncomfortable. Allow the hair to grow to about a quarter-inch, which is the ideal length for effective waxing without discomfort.
Don't Use Tanning Products or Sun Exposure
Avoid tanning, whether from the sun or self-tanners, at least 48 hours before your service. Skin that is sunburned or tanned can be more sensitive and prone to irritation during waxing. Protect your skin by staying out of direct sunlight and skipping tanning lotions, allowing your skin to stay smooth, calm, and ready for waxing.
Don't Use Heavy Lotions, Oils, or Moisturizers on Your Skin
Prior to your appointment, refrain from applying heavy creams or oils on the bikini area. These substances can interfere with the wax's ability to grip the hair properly, leading to less effective removal and increased discomfort. Stick to wearing loose, breathable clothing on the day of your appointment and keep your skin clean and dry.
