Top 3 Things to Never Do Before Your Brazilian Wax at Gild Beauty Bar in Redding, CA

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.

The Difference Between Hard and Soft Wax for Eyebrow Waxing at Gild Beauty Bar

Discover the Difference Between Hard and Soft Wax for Your Eyebrow Waxing at Gild Beauty Bar

At Gild Beauty Bar, in our sweet little a-framed building in downtown Redding California, you can find us dreaming of one thing all the time…WAX! We hold the position of being pioneers of the eyebrow waxing movement in our community very dear to us, and strive everyday to make sure we live up to that title. We believe every client deserves beautifully shaped, flawless eyebrows, and choosing the right wax is key to achieving those perfect arches. That’s why we use only the highest quality waxes — tailored to your skin type and hair texture.

Hard Wax vs. Soft Wax – What’s the Difference?

You might wonder, what’s the difference between hard and soft wax? Hard wax, also known as stripless wax, is formulated to adhere only to hair and not the skin. It’s ideal for sensitive areas like the eyebrows and the face because it minimizes irritation and provides a more precise, gentle removal. It’s perfect for clients with delicate skin or for those who want a gentler experience.

Soft wax, on the other hand, is a more traditional, strip wax that’s applied thinly and removed with cloth strips. This type of wax also works well for larger areas with coarser hair, like legs or arms, but can also be used for eyebrows if carefully applied and removed by our trained professionals.

Our expert team at Gild Beauty Bar evaluates each client’s skin and hair type before choosing the best wax — whether that’s hard or soft — ensuring a comfortable, effective, and sanitary hair removal process. 

Why Waxing is the Best Choice for Eyebrows

Waxing is the preferred method for eyebrow shaping because it provides a quick, precise, and long-lasting result. Unlike threading, waxing is more sanitary because we use disposable spatulas and strips for each client, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Plus, waxing pulls multiple hairs at once, enabling us to shape your brows effortlessly and maintain a clean, well-defined look.
