How Much is a Brazilian Wax?
Oftentimes, when people think of waxing, their first thoughts drift to one of the most popular services: Brazilian waxing. Compared to other methods of hair removal, how much is a Brazilian wax? To put it simply, it costs a bit more than something like shaving, but the results last much longer. Not to mention, when you add up all the daily time you spend shaving, waxing takes much less time. Depending on the going rate for your area, the price of a Brazilian waxing session can vary.
What does a Brazilian wax include?
Even as one of the most common waxing services, people regularly mistake what a Brazilian wax includes. Let’s set the record straight! A Brazilian wax removes all the hair from your genital area, including the butt strip. Basically, after your waxing session, you can expect to have absolutely no hair around your intimate areas.
Bikini wax vs. Brazilian wax
The most comparable service to a Brazilian wax is a Bikini wax. Both focus on removing hair from your intimate areas, but a Brazilian just takes away a bit more hair. A full bikini wax removes the hair from your upper thighs, and all around your bikini line. You may choose to leave a strip or some hair above your genital area. On the other hand, a Brazilian wax takes all the hair all around your genital areas too, front and back.
The pricing of your wax appointment
The cost of a wax highly depends on the area you live in. In San Jose at Necesse Aesthetics, a Brazilian wax costs $70. It may vary by $10 or $20, and usually, a higher price waxing service is more expensive for a reason. Professional aestheticians use high-quality waxing products to ensure the best possible results for your skin.
How to prepare for a Brazilian wax
To get the most out of your waxing session, you need to prepare the right way. General guidelines exist, and your aesthetician provides them for you after you book an appointment. You should never hesitate to reach out to your waxing provider to clarify any questions or concerns you have regarding your medications prior to the appointment.
When should you exfoliate?
An easy way to promote an easy, smooth waxing session is to exfoliate beforehand. The timing of your exfoliation is important, though. Never exfoliate the day of your wax. The ideal time is two days before your appointment, but one day before is okay too. Don’t over exfoliate either, or you run the risk of irritating your skin and making it sensitive.
How to arrive to your Brazilian wax appointment
You don’t have to do anything special or out of the ordinary before you arrive. It is a courtesy to shower and be clean, though. Otherwise, avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment, and follow your aesthetician’s advice about stopping any medications in advance.
Be open to communication with your aesthetician
Communication is key during any kind of waxing appointment, but especially during Brazilians when many people feel vulnerable. Your aesthetician is there to make you feel comfortable and welcomed! If at any point you feel like you need to take a moment’s break during your appointment, just let your aesthetician know. Having an open line of communication makes the experience better for everyone.
What to avoid after your Brazilian wax
Getting the most out of your wax also includes taking care of your skin after you leave your aesthetician’s chair. Long time waxers know what to do, but don’t worry. Your waxer will tell you everything you need to know.
What activities shouldn’t you participate in?
Generally, any activity that further irritates or sensitizes your skin should be avoided. Wear loose, cotton clothing for the first few days after your wax. Avoid swimming, chlorinated water, tanning, or any prolonged sun exposure to waxed areas for two or three days. Friction adds to irritation, so no intimate time for a day until redness subsides.
What are the proper aftercare steps?
You don’t have to actively do anything for a day or two after your wax, as your aesthetician should apply post-wax lotion and product immediately after. Once it’s been two or three days, exfoliate and apply ingrown hair serum or other products to the waxed area according to aftercare recommendations.
