Brazilian Wax Positioning
We’re living in the timeline of high-rise thongs and neon colors dancing across the great beaches of the world. And since we’re finally committed to the 90s renaissance, there’s no way we can walk through without giving credit to the preferred pubic hair removal method that has kept skin glistening and smooth to this day: the Brazilian wax.
The history of Brazilian waxing
We know we love the freedom that comes along with choosing your own adventure via hair removal. And whether you love a bushy bikini line every once in a while, or are strictly a Brazilian fan, you can appreciate the lore behind the Brazilian. Gaining popularity in the 1970s, Brazilian waxing was born on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, a proper and fitting origin.
Where did Brazilian waxing originate?
In the late 1980s, the United States saw an influx of Brazilian wax rings when seven Brazilian sisters posted up a shop in New York City. The Padilla sisters, also known as the Jay sisters, coined this wax technique that removes most or all of the hair from the pubic area.
The type of wax used in Brazilian waxing
Wax is a dynamic substance. There are so many versions of it, and so there are just as many varying outcomes for different body types.
You can expect your Brazilian wax experience to use hard wax, as it’s the best option for an area of your body prone to high sensitivity. From fine to coarse hair, hard wax allows your hair to be removed, swiftly, with as little irritation, and discomfort as possible.
What to expect from a Brazilian wax appointment
It’s normal to be curious about the ins and outs of your first Brazilian wax appointment. For seasoned wax-ees, getting waxed is a walk in the park – just another Tuesday afternoon.
The good news is, with the right team, you’ll feel like a seasoned wax-ee after you’re in and out of your first appointment quicker than you can say “ingrowns begone”!
Preparing for your waxing appointment
Preparing yourself for a wax appointment is a great excuse to take a hot bubble bath, get some gentle exfoliation in, and let your pores open up with some delicious hot steam. If you practice these tips 24 hours before your appointment, it will help loosen any ingrown hairs, allow your hair and follicles to breathe, and prevent any more from growing. On the day of your wax, you’ll want to roll up to your appointment without any lotions, creams, or potions.
Expect a professional, welcoming environment
If it’s your first time getting a Brazilian wax, you can expect a welcoming, professional environment from expert estheticians, who are happy to guide you through the waxing process. It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but your wax specialist lives to help you meet your skin goals, no matter the approach or area of focus.
How you should expect to be positioned to reach all hairs
Waxing is a hairy job, and somebody’s gotta do it. In order to get the best results from your wax experience, it’s essential to be comfortable in the proper position to remove all hairs, especially the pesky ones that live in the bikini line creases.
Your esthetician will likely have you lay on your back with your knees bent and your legs open. You can picture a butterfly to get an idea of the directions your legs will need to point out. At Beach House Waxing, we understand that it’s a vulnerable position to be in, and you may be slightly uncomfortable during your first Brazilian. As professionals, we strive to ease your discomfort, and make you feel as confident as possible during your wax – you’ll get no awkwardness from us!
Caring for your skin post-Brazilian wax
After your Brazilian wax appointment, your skin is going to need a little extra TLC. You can give your skin about 24 to 48 hours to rest and recover from your wax session. Avoid tight-fitting clothing and let your skin breathe. Shower with lukewarm water and moisturize, and don't forget to drink plenty of water!
Leave your Brazilian wax in Beach House Waxing’s hands
It’s hard to build trust and confidence in a new studio, especially if you’ve had a poor experience elsewhere. But even if it’s your 50th appointment, it’s better to be cared for in the hands of professionals that have your best interest at heart, and hand.
