What to Expect at Your First Brazilian Wax in Cincinnati
Thinking about booking your first Brazilian wax? You’re in the right place—and you’re definitely not alone. At South Beach Wax & Spa, we specialize in helping first-time clients feel informed, comfortable, and confident from start to finish.
Whether you’re prepping for vacation or just want a smoother routine, here’s what to expect at your first Brazilian wax (plus a few tips to make it a breeze):
Is a Brazilian Wax Painful?
It’s one of the most common questions we get. And the honest answer? It’s not as bad as you think.
We use an aloe-based organic hard wax that sticks to the hair, not the skin—so the process is gentler and more comfortable. You may feel a quick sting here or there, but most first-timers are surprised by how manageable it is.
How Do I Prep for My First Brazilian Wax?
No need to do much! Here’s what we recommend before your appointment:
- Let your hair grow to at least ¼ inch (about the length of a grain of rice)
- Avoid shaving or trimming beforehand—we’ll handle that if needed
- Gently exfoliate a day or two before to help prevent ingrown hairs
- Wear loose-fitting clothes to your appointment
What Happens During the Appointment?
Our licensed estheticians will guide you through the whole process. You’ll have a private, relaxing treatment room and a professional who talks you through every step.
The actual waxing typically takes 15–30 minutes, and you’ll leave feeling clean, smooth, and confident.
What Should I Do After My First Wax?
Aftercare is simple but important:
- Skip hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24 hours
- Avoid tight clothes or anything that causes friction
- Use a gentle exfoliant 2–3 times per week (we’ll recommend one if you need it)
- Stay consistent! Waxing regularly helps reduce hair growth over time
Feeling Nervous? That’s Totally Normal.
Everyone feels a little nervous before their first Brazilian wax—but once you’ve done it, you’ll see why so many of our Cincinnati clients stick with it. Our team is here to support you, answer any questions, and make the experience as stress-free as possible.
