A few things to remember before you come in for a brazilian wax:

1. The hair should be around a quarter of an inch in length. If you have been shaving; allow a 2 week period after your last shave and before your wax treatment to ensure a thorough and clean finish.

2. If you are concerned about the 'pain' factor take a tylenol an hour before your appointment to take the edge off. You ladies should try and schedule your wax within the two weeks after your cycle to ensure you are at your most comfortable.

3. If you are planning a vacation or special event book your brazilian wax at least a day before.

During your wax remember to breathe, relax & remind yourself you are in good hands!

Yeah, you did it! Here are some tips for after your brazilian wax:

1. Apply a tea-tree or aloe vera lotion to cool and calm the area. Try not to use anything with an artificial fragrance to avoid skin irritation.

2. A cold-compress feels great (puts out the fire!). Apply it for ten minutes or so, the cool temperature will calm and soothe the skin while closing the hair follicle.

3. Begin to exfoliate the area in the shower the next day to prevent ingrown hairs. You can use a loofah or a scrub, however if you suffer greatly from ingrown hairs (or have coarse hairs) ask us for information on Tend Skin - an ingrown hair prevention serum.

4. When taking a shower or bath post wax, try not to use hot water for the first 24 hours as your skin will still be sensitive to heat.

5. Avoid exposing the area to the sun (or tanning bed) for 24 hours after the wax treatment and when you do, make sure you are protected with a sunscreen of at least SPF15.
