Most waxing is recommended at a frequency of 4 weeks. This includes Brazilian, Bikini, and most facial waxing. Some areas, like underarms, can be waxed more frequently, up to every 2 weeks. Other areas, like upper legs, usually only have to be waxed every 6-8 weeks.
The secret to a good wax is great post-wax care! Follow these instructions for best results:
For 24 hours after waxing:
- No chlorine pools or hot tubs
- No steam rooms or saunas
- No working out – cardio, weights, nothing that causes excessive sweating!
- NO SEX – sweat contains bacteria, and having sex or doing anything that causes lots of sweating means you can end up with little whiteheads all over the waxed area 2-3 days later!
- Avoid applying any deodorants, sprays, or lotions to the area
Between waxes:
- Exfoliate as directed by your esthetician (usually every other day)
- Moisturize the area daily
- Try to wear loose-fitting clothes on occasion to help prevent compression ingrowns
- No picking or tweezing
- Absolutely NO SHAVING!

She has an energy that makes you feel relaxed and like you’ve been her friend for years, her studio is so clean, bright, and beautiful. I highly recommend if you’ve never had a Brazilian before to come here!“
