You’re thinking about getting a Brazilian or body wax for the first time—or even if you’re a regular—chances are you still have a few questions. At Brazilian Waxing by Sisters, we’re here to make you feel confident, informed, and comfortable. This article answers the most common waxing questions people search online, and helps you prepare for the smoothest experience possible.
Does Waxing Hurt?
Let’s start with the big one: Does waxing hurt?
The honest answer is yes, but not nearly as much as most people fear. Waxing removes hair from the root, so there is some discomfort involved. However, the level of pain depends on your skin sensitivity, the area being waxed, and the type of wax used.
At Brazilian Waxing by Sisters, we use high-quality hard wax, which is much gentler on the skin than soft wax. Hard wax only adheres to the hair (not the skin), making the process less painful and perfect for sensitive areas like the bikini line and underarms.
Pro tip: With regular waxing, the hair grows back finer and softer, meaning each session gets easier.
What’s the Difference Between Brazilian and Bikini Wax?
We get this question a lot. Here’s the breakdown:
Bikini Wax removes hair outside the edges of your underwear line. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a clean look without going fully bare.
Brazilian Wax removes everything from the front and back (including the labia and between the cheeks). You can also leave a small strip or triangle if preferred.
At Brazilian Waxing by Sisters, both services are performed with care, professionalism, and your comfort as the top priority.
What’s the Best Wax for Sensitive Skin?
If you have sensitive skin, don’t worry—you’re in good hands. We offer a variety of wax types to match your skin’s needs:
Classic Hard Wax: Ideal for most skin types. Fast and effective.
Cocoa Hard Wax: Infused with cocoa butter for extra hydration and soothing comfort.
Turmeric Hard Wax: Known for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties—perfect for redness-prone or sensitive skin.
Soft Wax: Used for larger areas like legs and arms. Removes even fine hair and exfoliates the skin at the same time.
Our trained specialists will recommend the best wax for your skin during your appointment.
How Should I Prepare for My Wax?
Proper prep = better results. Here’s what we recommend:
Let your hair grow: Your hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the size of a grain of rice).
Exfoliate gently the day before your appointment.
Skip lotions, oils, and tanning on the day of your wax.
Wear loose clothing to avoid friction post-wax.
Relax! You’re in the hands of experienced professionals.
How Long Will My Wax Last?
Results typically last between 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. With consistent waxing, hair grows back thinner and sparser, and sessions become easier over time.
