How to prepare for a Brazilian or
bikini waxing session
Our best tips:
Preparation will make or break your wax results and experience, so here’s what we need you to do….
Become one with Chewbacca
The longer your hair is, the better! In the (rare) event we deem it to be “too long” we will trim! You should wait a minimum of 3 weeks post shave or nair, but the longer the better. If your hair is too short, you’ll feel all the pain of a brazilian wax with none of the benefits.
Plan Ahead
We know the 2am “I should totally book a wax for tomorrow morning!” vibe all too well—but don’t do it! If you’ve got a special event coming up, last minute waxing is not your friend.
For best results, aim for 2-3 waxes leading up to your event. If procrastination is your middle name, at least book 5 days before the big day.
Exfoliate
48-72 hours before your wax, hop in the shower and exfoliate like your life depends on it to remove dead skin and loosen up surface ingrown hairs.
Hydrate
Waxing while dehydrated is just asking for 10/10 pain. Be sure to drink lots of water the day of your waxing session at our Eagan Brazilian Wax studio near you.
Mind over Matter
Waxing pain is a mind game! Those who come into our wax studio cool as a cucumber, tend to have a much easier experience. But if you spend the whole day spiraling, that stress will follow you into your appointment, trust us.
Breath. Relax. We wax hundreds of people every month, If it was that bad, we’d be out of a job. Pop some ibuprofen beforehand to help take the edge off. You’re tougher than you think, we believe in you!
It’s not a fashion show
No need to get dressed up for us (we’re probably rocking sweats and a T-shirt anyway.) On the day of your wax session, comfort is key. Loose-fitting clothes are your best friend here.
Oh, and don’t forget a clean pair of undies for after your wax (but honestly, going commando do is the way to go!)
What to expect before and during our Brazilian waxing services
A step by step guide of the wax experience
Unlike other wax studios, Wild+Soul brazilian wax studio does not have a receptionist. When you arrive, you will have a seat on our very comfy couch. Your waxer will greet you and take your back to the treatment room.
Arrival:
Inside the waxing room:
Once inside our private, and sanitized treatment room, your waxer will go over your medical history and wax experience. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. You will be asked to remove your clothing from the waist down. No need to be shy! We see naked people every. single. day. We provide wipes, and sensory products such as stress balls and pop its for you. Once undressed, you will lay on our medical table (with a 500lb weight limited to accommodate all body sizes!).
During the waxing session, we analyze your skin and hair while asking you about your skin care routine. We prep the skin, apply oil and start waxing with our hypoallergenic waxes, for all skin types. We play 00’s music while keeping you talking to distract from the pain. It’s over before you know it!
During your wax:
Once we’ve finished your wax, we’ll wipe away any leftover wax and give your skin a refreshing spritz of our Agent 88 Ingrown Serum. It feels like canceling plans you didn’t want to go to anyway—chef’s kiss.
Before you get dressed, we’ll have you stand up and check for any stickiness.
Oh, and don’t forget your complimentary post-wax goodies! You’ll get antibacterial ointment, soothing cooling gel, and drumroll please ADULT STICKERS ! (warning: some of them are very adult!)
After your wax:
Texting > Phone Calls
Here’s the truth: We don’t answer the phone. We are run by a millennial, which means we’re scared of phone calls and unexpected doorbells. Good news! We LOVE texting! If you’re hunting for a last-minute opening, text us at 651-243-0241 or head to the Contact Us Page and send a message!
