Brazilian Wax FAQ



Wax Queen 805 offers wax services to men and women!


What is a Brazilian Wax?

At Wax Queen, a Brazilian is defined by complete removal of hair from the bikini line, top, labia or scrotum and butt strip. I understand some people wish to leave hair on top. Clients can ask to leave a strip or triangle of hair on top if they would like.

Does a Brazilian Wax hurt?

I like to tell my first-time clients that a Brazilian is going to be uncomfortable the first time. As long as they follow aftercare recommendations and stick to a consistent wax routine, the waxes can get significantly easier.

How long does hair need to be to be waxed?

Hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long. If switching from shaving to waxing, hair usually needs to grow for 3-4 weeks after shaving.

What are the benefits of wax vs shaving?

Brazilian wax appointments are every 4 weeks

With consistency hair can grow back finer and sparce which can result in less ingrowns

Results from wax can last weeks

Waxing can lead to smoother skin

Waxing provides a light exfoliation which can lead to brighter cleaner feeling skin


How can a client prepare for a wax?

Wax Queen’s pre-wax recommendations are:

Exfoliate skin 24 hours prior to wax ( no chemical exfoliant)

Avoid sun and spray tanning for 48 hours prior

Stay hydrated; drink water before appt

Hair needs to be 1/4 inch in lenth minimum

Arive to appointment with clean skin free of lotion, oil, body spray, deodorant & perfume

Bring loose fitting clothing for after the wax

What are Wax Queens post wax recommendations?

Keep the treated area clean and dry. Avoid friction and heat after treatment. This includes but is not limited to:

Do not apply lotion, perfume, soap or bodyspray

No bath, pool, hot tub, ocean or lake water

No sauna, sweating, excersize or massage

Avoid sun, some spray tan, self tanner and tanning beds

Wear loose fitting clothing

Avoid touching treated area with unclean hands

Avoid any friction to treated area including sex

Do not apply ANY product to treated area unless I recommend

Can a client shave between waxes?

Wax Queen doesn’t recommend shaving between waxes. Shaving can lead to delayed waxes, quicker and thicker hair regrowth. Shaving can also lead to irritation, itch and razor bumps! Don’t do it!

Can medication interfere with Brazilian Wax?

Yes! Certain medications and supplements can interfere or prevent a client from getting wax services. If you are using ANY medication or using any supplements consult your physician before booking a wax service. This includes but is not limited to: prescribed or not prescribed medication, topical facial serums or acne medication.
