Does Brazilian bikini wax hurt? If you never had done before and if your pain tolerate level is low, it will hurt but is going to be better than your anticipation. But if you are under hands of a waxing pro, the treatment will be much faster and less painful.

• Do not shave before waxing

If you decided to wax, the length of your hair should be at least a quarter inch. So shaving before waxing treatment is a no-no.  Shorter hair will result the wax won’t have long enough hair to grip during procedure.

• Too hairy, too embarrassed?

There is no such thing as being too hairy. Wax therapist rather wax overgrown hair than a 2-week-old shaving hair. Specialist can always trim the hair if needed.

• Timing of salon visit

Try to avoid 5 days before your period cycle, or during it, or immediately after it. Why? Because your body is especially sensitive during those time. If you have to visit salon on those days, you can try take pain killer beforehand.

Anything tight-fitting can rub raw spots and make area more irrigating. Maxi dresses or harem pants can be good option for you.

• Do come straight from gym
