Get Warm Weather Ready with Brazilian Waxing!

As summer approaches, it’s time to shed those winter layers and embrace your skin’s natural beauty! For those looking for a smooth, hair-free aesthetic, Brazilian waxing is the ultimate choice. Let’s explore the benefits of Brazilian waxing and why this service is your "go-to" for smooth skin this spring and summer:

The benefits of Brazilian waxing:

Brazilian waxing offers many benefits. Who doesn’t want to live a more low maintenance lifestyle that allows for more time to do the things we really want to do? Cutting down on your ‘Get ready’ time allows for more freedom to embrace more summer adventures. Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the surface, Brazilian waxing removes hair from the root! This means you can enjoy silky smooth skin for three to six weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. Once you’ve had your Brazilian waxing, you can go about your summer activities without the worry of stubble showing up just a day after shaving.

Why waxing is superior to shaving:

Waxing not only makes life easier and allows for a much lower maintenance lifestyle, it’s better for your skin and hair growth. Shaving distorts the hair follicle and cuts body hair unevenly. Because of this, the rough edges of the hair growth can become trapped underneath the skin leading to painful ingrown hairs and inflamed skin. Waxing weakens hair follicles leading to finer hair regrowth in the future, it also grabs and removes body hair evenly. Finer, softer hair regrowth feels more comfortable, less noticeable as it grows in, and less itchy. For coarse/curly hair types waxing can be especially beneficial in ensuring ingrown hairs stay at bay. Additionally, sensitive skin types that are prone to nicks, cuts, and razor burn induced by shaving will love the gentle benefits that waxing services have to offer.

What to expect during your first Brazilian wax appointment:

We know that your first Brazilian wax service can feel a little intimidating. Have no fear! Our licensed professionals are experts at ensuring comfortability. You can expect your esthetician to consult with you before and after your treatment to make sure you feel taken care of. Be sure to ask your esthetician any questions, comments, or concerns you have before and after your treatment. Now let’s jump into pre and post-wax at-home care!

Preparing for Your Waxing Appointment:

To get the most out of your Brazilian wax, preparation is key! Here are some tips to prep your skin:

Exfoliation:
- It’s best to exfoliate 2-3 days before your appointment to remove dead skin cell build up around the hair follicles to allow for a more productive waxing experience. It’s also recommended to exfoliate 3-5 days post treatment to allow for even hair regrowth and prevention of ingrown hairs. It’s important to choose a gentle scrub that contains perfectly spherical granules to avoid causing micro-tears (tiny cuts) in the skin. Micro-tears can lead to ingrown hairs or in worse cases, bacterial infections. We recommend the Fur Silk Scrub. This scrub is gentle yet effective. This product pairs manual and chemical exfoliation to optimize results. It contains jojoba beads that are an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic beads commonly used in most scrubs along with AHA’s and fruit enzymes to gently eat away at remaining dead skin cells. And lastly, clary sage oil has been added to this product to act as an antibacterial to keep infections and irritation away.
Hair Length:
- Aim for hair length of about 1/4 inch (the size of a grain of rice) for the best results. If your hair is too short, the wax may not adhere properly.
Stay Hydrated:
- Drink plenty of water before your appointment! Well-hydrated skin is more pliable and can make the waxing process easier.
Avoid Certain Products:
- Skip lotions, oils, creams, or any hair removal methods (like shaving or tweezing) 24 hours before your appointment to prepare your skin effectively.

Aftercare Instructions:

Once you’ve experienced the smoothness of a Brazilian wax, it’s essential to care for your skin afterward to maximize your results:

Avoid Heat:
- For the first 24 hours, steer clear of hot baths, saunas, and intense workouts to prevent irritation.
Keep It Cool:
- If your skin feels sensitive, consider applying a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the area.
Moisturize:
- Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to prevent dryness. We recommend Fur Oil - an amazing lightweight oil that moisturizes the skin while also clearing pores for fewer ingrowns and healthier skin.
Avoid Scented Products:
- For a week post-wax, skip scented lotions or sprays that might irritate the skin.
