Nervous about your first Brazilian? That's completely normal — and a few simple steps make the whole thing quick and easy.
First, let your hair grow to about a quarter inch — roughly two weeks of regrowth. Too short and the wax can't grip; too long and it's more tugging than it needs to be.
The day before, exfoliate gently to free any trapped hairs. The day of, skip lotions, oils, and deodorant on the area so the wax adheres cleanly.
Go easy on caffeine and alcohol right before your appointment — both can heighten sensitivity. And wear something loose and comfy for the trip home.
Most of all: relax. At Bare Essential, every appointment is private, one-on-one, and judgement-free. Desi keeps it fast, gentle, and kind — first-timers are her specialty.
