The Brazilian is the most requested option for the bikini area — and the treatment first-timers have the most questions about: does it hurt, how do I prepare, and how is it different from a regular bikini wax? Here's everything you need to know before your appointment.
Brazilian vs. Regular Bikini Wax — What's the Difference
- A regular bikini wax removes hair along the edge of your underwear or swimsuit — the bikini line stays neat, the rest of the area is untouched.
- A Brazilian wax removes all hair from the intimate area (or almost all, your choice — a narrow strip can stay).
If you want a completely smooth area for summer, the beach or simply that clean feeling — the Brazilian is the right choice. If you only want a tidy line, the regular bikini wax is quicker and cheaper.

Does a Brazilian Wax Hurt
Honestly: the first time — yes, noticeably, especially if you're coming off shaving. But two things drastically reduce the pain:
- The warm wax we use grips the hair, not the skin — less trauma than strips.
- Regularity — every following session hurts less, because hair grows back thinner and sparser. Clients who come every 4–5 weeks describe it as "completely manageable".
Avoid booking in the days right before or during your period — skin is more sensitive then.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
- Hair length: 5–6 mm (about 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving). Too short and the wax can't grip it; too long hurts more.
- The day before, do a gentle scrub of the area — it reduces ingrown hairs.
- On the day, no creams or oils on the area.
- Wear comfortable cotton underwear — the skin is sensitive after the treatment.
How Long Results Last & Aftercare
Smooth skin lasts 3–4 weeks, and with regular sessions hair becomes sparser and softer. For the first 24–48 hours: no sunbathing, tanning beds, saunas, pools or tight synthetic fabrics. From day three, a regular scrub 1–2 times a week is the best prevention against ingrown hairs.
