Brazilian Wax at home

All you need to do beforehand is pick the room you’d like to have your treatment in, clear 2x2m of floor space for your beauty therapist to set up their beauty bed and have a table nearby that they can use to lay out their products and tools.

To get the most out of your wax, it’s important to prepare your skin and yourself ahead of time. Here are a few practical steps you can take to prepare ahead of your waxing session:

• Let your hair grow out for at least four weeks to ensure your therapist can properly remove the hair from the follicle.
• Gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment to flush away any dead skin cells.
• Stay hydrated, avoid too much caffeine and alcohol in the days prior to your appointment and moisturise your skin with non-clogging products that are lightweight and non-greasy.
• Stay out of the sun and avoid getting sunburn in the days prior to your appointment.
• Avoid using products with retinol on your skin the week prior to your appointment (as this can increase the sensitivity of your skin).
• Wear lightweight, flowy clothing to your appointment that is easy to take on and off.

It is recommended to avoid hot showers and baths for at least 24 hours after getting a wax treatment.

While waxing is significantly less painful than more invasive treatments like laser hair removal, there is still a low level of discomfort.

In most cases, waxing will feel like having a tough bandage ripped off a hairy part of your body. You might notice more pain if you’re getting waxed in more sensitive areas (such as your pubic region or under your arms).

However, the pain and discomfort are quick and temporary (although you might notice some redness, tenderness or irritation immediately after your waxing treatment).

No, waxing is not considered a permanent hair removal service but as hair follicles thin, it can become permanent for some. Hair grows back slowly over 3-6 weeks.

Waxing is a form of hair removal, and is considered one of the best hair removal techniques for price, longevity of hairlessness, pain and maintenance.

It is not required to trim your hair before a Brazilian wax, however it may make the waxing process less uncomfortable. If you wish to trim your hair, only trim it slightly and not to the root.

A Brazilian wax can last up to 45 minutes, depending on the thickness and amount of hair that needs to be removed.

With Blys, your wax appointment is in the comfort of your own home, so wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable. It is recommended to wear loose fitting clothing, especially after your wax treatment to prevent any rash or irritation to the skin.

Your waxing professional will begin by heating up the wax or preparing the wax strips (in the case of skin sensitivities). After applying the warm, melted wax to the desired area, a thin strip of fabric is applied on top, allowing for quick and easy removal of the wax, and your hair along with it! While there may be some discomfort during this process, it should not be a painful experience.

After your treatment, it’s best to avoid applying any oils or lotions to the waxed area (unless directed by your therapist). Keep your skin clean and avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing for at least 48 hours (like yoga pants or tights) that may cause irritation and friction on the skin.
