At Hair Etc. Salon and Spa, we believe smooth skin is for everyone! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, Brazilian waxes (for women) and Manzilians (for men) are the ultimate way to achieve long-lasting, silky-smooth skin. If you’re curious but a little nervous—don’t worry! We’ve got all the details to help you prepare, know what to expect, and take care of your freshly waxed skin like a pro.
What is a Brazilian or Manzilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax removes all (or most) of the hair from the bikini area, front to back, leaving you feeling fresh and smooth. A Manzilian (also known as a male Brazilian) offers the same treatment for men, removing hair from the groin, pubic area, and between the cheeks. Both services give you long-lasting results—no more stubble, razor burn, or daily upkeep!
How to Prepare for Your Wax
A little prep goes a long way in making your waxing experience as smooth as possible:
Let it grow – Hair should be about ¼ inch long (roughly the length of a grain of rice). If it’s too short, the wax won’t grip properly; too long, and it may be more uncomfortable.
Exfoliate – Gently exfoliate the area 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs.
Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water and moisturize leading up to your appointment (but skip the lotion on the day of).
Skip the caffeine & alcohol – These can make your skin more sensitive, so save the espresso or happy hour for later.
Wear loose clothing – Tight clothes can cause irritation after your wax, so opt for comfy, breathable fabrics.
What to Expect During Your Wax
We get it—waxing can sound intimidating, but our skilled professionals make the process quick and comfortable! Here’s what happens:
Relax & get comfortable – Your esthetician will walk you through the process and ensure you’re at ease.
The waxing begins – We apply warm wax to small sections, remove it swiftly, and repeat until you’re smooth and hair-free. (Yes, there’s a little sting, but it’s over before you know it!)
Soothe & hydrate – We finish with a calming lotion to reduce redness and irritation.
The whole process takes about 30 minutes, and you’ll leave feeling fresh, clean, and confident!
Aftercare Tips for Silky Smooth Skin
Taking care of your skin post-wax is key to keeping it irritation-free:
Skip hot showers & workouts for 24 hours – Heat and sweat can cause irritation, so take it easy.
Moisturize daily – Hydrated skin = happy skin! Use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion.
Avoid tight clothing – Let your skin breathe to prevent ingrown hairs.
Exfoliate after 48 hours – Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to prevent bumps and ingrown hairs.
No shaving between waxes – Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and can lead to stubble before your next appointment.
