How long does a Brazilian wax last?

Three to four weeks for most guests. In the beginning, you may need to come in a bit more often as your hair settles into a cycle. With regular waxing, growth tends to slow and become finer — and most settle into a four-to-six-week routine.

Does a Brazilian wax hurt?

It's uncomfortable, especially the first time, but it shouldn't be unbearable. Pain decreases significantly with regular waxing — by your second or third visit, most guests describe it as manageable. Coming in well-hydrated, avoiding caffeine that morning, and not waxing right before or during your period all help.

How long should hair be before a Brazilian wax?

About a quarter-inch — roughly two weeks of growth from a previous wax, or three to four weeks from a shave. Hair that's too short won't lift cleanly; hair that's too long can be more uncomfortable. We trim if needed at your reservation, but the right length makes the work cleaner and faster.

What's the difference between a Brazilian wax and a bikini wax?

A bikini wax removes the hair outside what an underwear line would cover. A Brazilian removes most or all of the hair in the bikini area, depending on the version you request. We can do anything between full removal and a small landing strip — your esthetician will confirm what you want before starting.

Can I get a Brazilian wax on my period?

Yes, with a tampon or menstrual cup. Just know that skin tends to be more sensitive in the days before and during your period — many guests prefer to wait a few days. Let your esthetician know either way.

How do I care for skin after a Brazilian wax?

Avoid heat for 24 hours — no hot showers, saunas, workouts, sun. Skip tight clothing, fragranced products, and exfoliants for two days. Start gentle exfoliation on day three to prevent ingrowns. We recommend a daily ingrown-hair serum if you're prone to bumps. Cooling, calming products are your friend the first night.

What types of waxing do you offer?

Full body. Face (brows, lip, chin, full face), arms, underarms, chest, back, stomach, legs (full or half), Brazilian and bikini, and intimate waxing. We use clean wax formulations — hard wax for sensitive areas, soft strip wax for larger surfaces. Every esthetician is trained across the full menu.

Is waxing better than shaving?

For most areas, yes — over time. Waxing removes hair at the follicle, so regrowth is finer and slower than shaving. Shaving cuts hair flat at the surface, which creates a more visible regrowth pattern. Waxing also exfoliates the skin slightly with each session. The trade-off is more discomfort and the need to wait for growth.
