😰 Nervous About Your First Brazilian? I Got You.

It’s totally normal to feel a little anxious about your first Brazilian wax—especially if you’ve been a lifelong shaver. But with a little prep and the right wax specialist (👋 that’s me, Summer at Solara Sol Beauty), your first experience can be way easier than you think. Here’s everything you need to know.

✅ Step-by-Step Prep Guide

Step 1: Let It Grow

Your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch long (about the size of a grain of rice).No shaving 2–3 weeks before your appointment, or you won’t get the smooth results you deserve!

Step 2: Gently Exfoliate the Day Before

Use a sugar scrub or exfoliating glove to remove dead skin. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and makes waxing more effective.

Step 3: Shower Before Your Appointment

Fresh, clean skin helps the wax stick better and keeps everything hygienic. Avoid heavy lotions or oils the day of your appointment—they create a barrier that can interfere with waxing.

Step 4: Skip the Coffee (Seriously!)

Caffeine can increase sensitivity, so avoid it at least 4 hours before your wax. Stay hydrated with water instead to help calm your nerves.

Step 5: Wear Loose Clothing

Tight jeans or leggings = friction = irritation after your wax. Opt for comfy clothes that allow your skin to breathe post-appointment.

🙌 What to Expect at Solara Sol

When you arrive, I’ll walk you through the process, answer any questions, and make sure you feel 100% comfortable. You’ll be done in about 20 minutes, and most clients say it was way easier than they expected!

💡 Bonus Tip: Book Consistently

The first wax is always the most intense—BUT it gets easier each time. Stick to a 4–6 week schedule and you’ll see less hair, less pain, and smoother skin for longer.
