How to Prepare for a Brazilian Wax: Your Ultimate Guide for First-Timers

Written By shauna woods

So, you’ve decided to get a Brazilian wax? Yay for you! But let’s be real, the idea of someone ripping hair from your most sensitive areas can make anyone blush. Don’t worry, though — we’re here to guide you through it. At our Eagan wax center, we’re pros at making your wax sesh as chill as possible. Here’s the scoop on how to prepare for a Brazilian wax and come out smooth AF.

What Even Is a Brazilian Wax?

Think of it as a spring cleaning for your bikini area. A Brazilian wax removes hair from the front, back, sides, and everything in between. How much you leave is totally up to you. Whether you’re going full-on baby smooth or leaving a little landing strip, it’s your call.

If you’ve been googling “waxing near you in Minneapolis” and landed here, congrats! You’ve found the wax ninjas at Wild+Soul Wax Studio in Eagan.

How to Prepare for a Brazilian Wax Appointment

Listen, you can’t just roll into your appointment all willy-nilly. Follow these tips, and you’ll be golden.

  1. Grow It Out
    Let that hair grow. 3+ weeks post shaving should do it If it’s too short, the wax won’t grab it. DON’T TRIM-if trimming is needed, let us do it.

  2. Scrub-a-Dub-Dub
     Exfoliate a day or two before your appointment. Nothing aggressive, though — gentle is the name of the game. Dead skin cells, begone!

  3. Skip the Slippery Stuff
     Lotions, oils, or creams? Nope. Come in clean and dry so the wax sticks to the hair, not your skin.

  4. Wear Lounge Wear
     Loose, comfy clothes are your post-wax BFF. Tight jeans and fresh waxed skin? Not the vibe.

  5. Numb It Up
     Worried about the pain? We got you. We’ve got a numbing cream called Penicillin to numb everything, including your feeling. Appy it 30 minutes before your appointment, and thank us later.

What Happens During your waxing appointment

Walking into our Eagan wax center for your first Brazilian is like meeting the friend who always tells it like it is. Here’s what’s gonna go down:

  1. We Chat: You’ll tell your esthetician what look you’re going for. Full bald? Cute shape? It’s your world.

  2. We Wax: Warm wax goes on, strips come off, and your hair takes a one-way trip to Bye-Bye Land.

  3. We Educate: Before you leave, we’ll hit you with the best aftercare tips so you can stay ingrown free.

FAQs about preparing for a brazilian or bikini wax in Minneapolis

1. Will it hurt?
 Okay, I won’t sugarcoat it: it’s not a walk in the park, but it’s not that bad. Plus, our numbing cream, Penicillin, is a game-changer.

2. How long does it last?
Depends on how fast your hair grows, if you shave or get waxed consistently. The truth is-it takes 4-6 CONSISTENT waxes for long term hair free skin BUT the growth you experience right away will be fine and thin.

3. Can I wax on my period?
 Totally! Just pop in a tampon or menstrual cup and let us know. You might feel a smidge more sensitive, though.

4. Is it clean?
Yes! We’re all about hygiene here at Wild+Soul. Clean tools, clean space, clean everything.

5. What if I’m embarrassed?
 Listen, we’ve seen it all. No judgment, no weird vibes. We’re here to make you feel comfortable and fabulous. We do this EVERYDAY.

Here’s what to do After your brazilian waxing session

Want to keep skin ingrown and bump free? Here’s your waxing after care:

  1. Cool It
     No hot baths, saunas, or sweaty gym sessions for at least 72 hours. Let your skin chill.

  2. Moisturize Like a Boss
     Fragrance free lotions are your besties. Keep your skin hydrated and happy.

  3. Scrub Smart
     A few days after your wax, start exfoliating gently. Ingrown hairs? Not today!

  4. Give It Some Air
     Rock those loose, breathable clothes for a couple of days. Your skin will thank you.

  5. Hands Off!
     No touching, picking, or peeking. Let your skin do its thing without any interference.
