  • Let us know about any allergies or skin sensitivities ahead of time.

Brazilian Wax Prep

  • Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice).

  • Exfoliate gently 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs.

  • Avoid tanning, intense workouts, and hot tubs 24 hours before your wax.
