What Is a Brazilian Wax?

What Is a Brazilian Wax?

If you’ve never had a Brazilian wax before, you probably have questions.

What exactly gets waxed? How long does the appointment take? Is it painful? What should you do before you arrive?

Those are completely normal questions, especially when you’re booking an intimate waxing service for the first time.

A Brazilian wax removes hair from the intimate area, including the front and back. Depending on your personal preference, you may choose to remove everything or leave a small amount of hair in front.l

At Royal Esthetics in Jacksonville, Brazilian waxing is provided exclusively for women in a private setting with Andrea.

What Does a Brazilian Wax Include?

A Brazilian generally removes substantially more hair than a traditional bikini wax.

A bikini wax focuses primarily on hair that could show outside a swimsuit or underwear.

A Brazilian goes farther and typically includes hair from the front, bikini line and between the cheeks.

Some women prefer completely smooth results. Others prefer leaving a strip or small shape in the front.

Your preference can be discussed before the service begins.

Brazilian Wax vs. Bikini Wax

If you're deciding between the two, think about how much hair you want removed.

A bikini wax is ideal if you simply want your bikini line cleaned up.

A Brazilian is designed for women who want significantly more hair removed throughout the intimate area.

Neither choice is “better.” It comes down to your comfort level, lifestyle and personal preference.

We have an entire guide comparing the two if you want a more detailed breakdown.

What Happens During Your Appointment?

Your appointment begins with preparation of the skin and a conversation about what you want removed.

Wax is then applied strategically in sections.

Andrea works through the area until the desired hair has been removed, finishing with appropriate post-wax skin care.

At Royal Esthetics, a Royal Brazilian is scheduled for approximately 30 minutes.

First-time clients may naturally feel nervous. One of the advantages of seeing the same esthetician consistently is knowing who will be providing your service each time.

Does a Brazilian Wax Hurt?

Waxing removes hair from the root, so you will feel the process.

However, everyone's sensitivity is different.

Your first appointment may feel more noticeable because the hair is often stronger or less accustomed to being removed from the root.

Many regular waxing clients find that their experience becomes easier once they establish a consistent schedule.

Your menstrual cycle, skin sensitivity, hair growth and individual pain tolerance can also influence how a particular appointment feels.

How Long Should Your Hair Be?

Avoid shaving immediately before your wax.

The wax needs enough hair to grip effectively.

If you have recently shaved, you may need to allow sufficient regrowth before scheduling your appointment.

We'll cover preparation in detail in our How to Prepare for a Brazilian Wax guide.

How Long Do Results Last?

Because waxing removes the hair from the root rather than cutting it at the surface, smoothness generally lasts significantly longer than shaving.

Hair does not all grow on exactly the same schedule, so individual results vary.

Women who maintain a consistent waxing routine often schedule appointments every few weeks.

Royal Esthetics also offers a maintenance Brazilian rate for returning clients who remain on the appropriate schedule.

What Should You Do Afterward?

Freshly waxed skin deserves a little extra care.

Immediately after your service, avoid unnecessary friction and anything likely to heavily irritate the area.

Andrea can provide personalized aftercare guidance based on your skin.

Common post-wax considerations include clothing, exercise, heat, exfoliation and intimate activity.

You can find the full breakdown in our Brazilian Wax Aftercare Guide.

ASK ANDREA: What is the one thing you wish every first-time Brazilian client knew before walking into your studio?

Honestly, the one thing I wish every first-time Brazilian client knew is that there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m not judging your body or how much hair you have—my focus is making you feel comfortable, protecting your skin, and giving you a great result. If you’re nervous, just tell me, and I’ll explain everything and guide you through the appointment.
