😬 Let’s Talk About the Big Question: Does It Hurt?

When people think of waxing, they often picture a 2000s movie scream scene 😱But here’s the real tea: waxing doesn’t have to be a horror show—especially when you’re at Solara Sol Beauty in Crawfordville.

Let me, Summer (your wax whisperer 😉), break it all down.

💡 The Truth About Waxing Pain:

Yes, it stings. But only for a split second when the wax is pulled.
It’s not unbearable. Most clients say, “That’s it?!” afterward.
It gets easier. The more you wax, the less it hurts—really.

Pain level depends on your skin sensitivity, hair type, and even where you are in your cycle (you’re more sensitive right before your period).

🧘‍♀️ How to Make Waxing More Comfortable:

✅ Exfoliate 1–2 days before to remove dead skin and prevent tugging✅ Avoid caffeine beforehand—it can make you more sensitive✅ Breathe deep and try to relax your body during the pull✅ Stay consistent—the more regularly you wax, the less pain you’ll feel

✨ Why Solara Sol Clients Say It’s Not So Bad:

Because I don’t just wax—I care for your skin.

I use premium wax that’s gentle on sensitive areas
I work in small, controlled sections to minimize discomfort
And I always check in to make sure you feel safe and supported

💬 What Real Clients Say:

"I was so scared before my first Brazilian, but Summer made me feel relaxed and talked me through everything!" "It hurt less than tweezing my eyebrows, honestly."
