For the most realistic expectations, ask your questions to the pro before, during, and after your first Brazilian appointment. You have to go into it knowing that everyone is different. So you can read, research, and ask your friends questions, but don’t let those experience and stories cloud your judgment too much. In addition, everyone has a different tolerance of pain. For instance, those with sensitive skin may see their skin turn pink for the entire next day after a wax for other people, the skin returns to normal in just a few hours. The results of a bikini wax or a Brazilian depends so much on the person, their hair type, and lots of other factors. Are you hoping to completely avoid the pain? Um, no. Are you thinking you’ll avoid stubble? Again, not likely. Be realistic in your expectations.Īre you expecting to be hair-free for weeks upon weeks? This is not likely. Finally, if you want to give yourself a little cushion, take ibuprofen half an hour to an hour before your appointment. (If you have questions about this, ask your pro.)
