Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment
Thinking about getting your first Brazilian wax? First of all…take a deep breath. if you’re nervous, you’re definitely not alone. Almost every first-time client walks in saying the exact same thing:
“I’ve been thinking about doing this forever!”
The good news? It really isn’t as scary as you think.
I’ve been providing Brazilian waxing in Nashville, TN for over 20 years, and making first-time clients feel comfortable is one of my favorite parts of my job. Whether you’re coming from Green Hills, Forest Hills, Downtown Nashville, Belle Meade, Brentwood, West End, or anywhere in the Nashville area, I’ll walk you through everything so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
So…What Exactly Is a Brazilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax removes all (or almost all) of the hair from your bikini area—from front to back.
Want to leave a little landing strip? Totally fine!
Unlike a basic bikini wax that only removes hair outside your swimsuit line, a Brazilian leaves everything feeling silky smooth for weeks.
Every body is different, so I customize every wax based on your hair, skin, and comfort level.
What Happens During My Appointment?
Honestly?
Most clients tell me afterward…
“That wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected!”
Here’s what happens.
You’ll have complete privacy to undress from the waist down before we begin.
If you’re getting a bikini wax instead of a Brazilian, I’ll provide a disposable bikini.
Then I’ll use premium French hard and soft wax to remove the hair in sections.
Everything I use is completely sanitary.
- New applicator every single time.
- Never any double dipping.
- Gentle techniques developed over 20+ years.
- The appointment usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
What If I’m On My Period?
No worries!
You can absolutely still get a Brazilian.
Just wear a fresh tampon.
You may be a little more sensitive than normal, but it’s completely safe.
How Should I Prepare?
A little prep makes a huge difference.
Let it grow.
Hair should be about ¼–½ inch long.
Think…
About the size of a grain of rice.
Too short and the wax can’t grab it well.
Exfoliate
Lightly exfoliate a day or two before your appointment.
This helps remove dead skin and prevents ingrown hairs.
Skip the coffee.
I know…
I’m asking a lot.
But caffeine and alcohol can make your skin more sensitive.
Wear comfy clothes.
Loose clothing is your best friend afterward.
A dress is always my favorite recommendation because your skin can breathe.
Please come freshly showered.
And maybe don’t come straight from hot yoga.
Let’s Talk About Pain…
Everyone asks.
Yes…
You’ll feel it.
But only for a second.
Seriously.
The anticipation is usually much worse than the wax itself.
Your very first Brazilian is usually the most uncomfortable because all the hair is coming out for the first time.
After that?
Most clients can’t believe how much easier it gets.
Many of my regulars chat through the entire appointment like we’re catching up over coffee.
After Your Wax
Your skin just needs a little TLC.
For the next 24–48 hours avoid:
• Hot baths
• Hot tubs
• Swimming
• Intense workouts
• Sex
• Sun exposure
Basically…
Treat your skin like it just had a workout.
Wear loose clothing.
Cotton underwear is great.
Or…
Skip the underwear if you’re lounging around the house!
Less friction = happier skin.
How Do I Prevent Ingrown Hairs?
This is one of the questions I get the most.
Once your skin has calmed down, exfoliate a few times each week.
One of my favorite products is PFB Vanish.
It’s an easy roll-on treatment that helps prevent ingrown hairs while also helping brighten dark spots.
I use it myself and recommend it to almost everyone.
How Long Does a Brazilian Wax Last?
Everyone grows hair differently.
Most clients stay nice and smooth for about two weeks.
Around four weeks you’ll start seeing enough regrowth to wax again.
The sweet spot is every 4–6 weeks.
The best part?
The hair usually grows back softer, finer, and much more slowly over time.
And no…
It doesn’t all come back at once like a Chia Pet. 😂
Why My Clients Love Brazilian Waxing

Once most people switch to waxing…
They never go back.
