Waxing Myths That Need to Die (So Your Skin Can Thrive)

We’ve heard it all.

“Does waxing make your hair grow back thicker?”
“Is it true you can’t wax on your period?”
“What if they burn me??”

First of all: no, no, and also no (unless you’re waxing at home with microwave wax — don’t do that).
It’s time to bust the myths and give you the real deal, straight from two licensed waxers who’ve seen more vaginas than your OB/GYN.

🧠 Myth #1: “Shaving is better — waxing makes hair grow back thicker!”

👎 Nope. Shaving cuts hair at the surface, giving it a blunt edge that feels and appears thicker.
Waxing removes the hair from the root, so it grows back finer, softer, and sparser over time.

It takes just ONE wax to prove this myth wrong.
Stick with it and you’ll be smoother, longer — with way less stubble.

🩸 Myth #2: “You can’t get waxed on your period.”

Yes, you can. We wax clients on their cycle daily.
Just wear a tampon or cup, we always have tampons and personal wipes available in our restroom if you want to freshen up before your appointment.

⚠️ Pro tip: Your skin can be more sensitive during your period, if you're nervous about pain, take a Tylenol. We got you. A string isn’t going to stop us.

🔥 Myth #3: “It’s too painful — I’ll scream!”

You might flinch, but scream? Highly unlikely.
The truth: it’s fast, any discomfort passes very quickly and most clients say it’s not nearly as bad as they expected. We’ve got great technique, distraction tactics, and sometimes even snacks.

Plus, pain decreases with regular waxing. Your hair gets weaker, and so does the ouch factor.

🏠 Myth #4: “I can just do it myself at home.”

Technically, yes.
Should you? Well... do you also do your own dental work?

DIY kits can lead to:

  • Burns

  • Bruising

  • Uneven patches

  • Accidental butt glue situations (don’t ask)

Leave it to the pros. It’s faster, cleaner, and you don’t have to bend in weird positions while holding hot wax.

🚿 Myth #5: “You have to shower right before your wax.”

Please don’t show up straight from the gym. But also, don’t stress too much — we’ve seen it all (seriously).
We’ll make sure the area is clean and prepped before we start. Just skip the lotions, oils, or sprays before your appointment — they can interfere with the wax.

💗 Myth #6: “It’s embarrassing.”

Girl. Please.

We are two women who wax buttholes for a living. Nothing about your body is weird to us.
We’re not judging your hair, your labia, or your side comments during the appointment. We’re here to make you feel safe, respected, and smooth AF.

✨ Myth #7: “You only get a Brazilian for someone else.”

Nope. The #1 reason people wax?
Because they love how it feels.
It’s empowering. Clean. Confident. Zero razor burn, all smoothness.
Whether you're going on a date or just living your best life in sweats — do it for you.
