What Actually Happens in a Brazilian Wax (No BS)

Spoiler: It’s not nearly as scary as you think.

So, you’re Brazilian wax-curious. You’ve Googled. You’ve texted your one brave friend. You’ve wondered if you should just try that sketchy DIY wax kit and “see what happens.”

(Hint: don’t.)

If you’re thinking about getting smooth down there but want the full, honest play-by-play first — we’ve got you. This is your no-shame, no-awkwardness guide to what actually happens when you come in for a Brazilian wax at Bare Beauty Wax Studio in Milton, Wisconsin.

💬 First, We Chat Like Humans

You’ll check in, and we’ll greet you like a normal person — not a hair-removal robot. We’ll ask:

• Is this your first time?

• Want everything off, or a strip/triangle?

• Any allergies, medications, or sensitivities?

Then we’ll explain how it works, so you’re not guessing anything. You’ll know where to put your stuff, how to lie down, and what to expect.

👖 Then You Undress From the Waist Down

Yes — pants and undies come off. But listen, this is literally our job. We are trained, licensed, and 100% unbothered by what your bits look like. All body types, all hair types, all vibes — we’re here for it.

We do not leave the room so you can undress. Stepping out of the room to give you privacy is, in our opinion, a waste of time and really doesn’t make any sense because we’re about to be ALL UP IN your privacy. This gives some people the ick, but guess what? We’re about to stare into your most private body parts like no one ever has before. Probably. We don’t know your personal life, yet. But we want to. And once you’re a regular of ours, we will only get to spend about 15 minutes with you once a month so we need every precious moment to yap and catch up. We will turn our backs to you and prepare our station while you de-robe and lie down on the table. We also do not offer you a modesty towel or drape like some other places. 1. we hate laundry. 2. they just waste time by getting in our way and 3. there’s a time and place for modesty, but it ain’t in our space. Ready? It’s wax time baby!

🔥 The Waxing Begins (Spoiler: It’s Fast)

We use high-quality wax that hugs your hair, not your skin — so it’s gentler and way less messy than the drugstore kind. We lay multiple strips at a time, quickly and efficiently sectioning the entire area to move at lightening speed with as little discomfort as possible.

Expect:

• Warm (not hot) wax

• A little pressure

• Helping pull your skin taut (we ask every single client to help us with this as it helps with discomfort and results)

• Some deep breathing

• A swift pull

• Maybe a weird joke or two

We’ll walk you through it all. We’ll chat. We’ll distract you. We might say “take a breath” or give other simple instructions to help you through. We will go over with you why we’re doing what we’re doing, and basically everything you need to know until we see you again. That first appointment we talk way more than we want to, but in order to get you the smoothest skin for the longest amount of time (and bang for your buck!), we want, nay, need to educate you.

🍑 Yes, We Wax the Crack Too

Between the cheeks is a part of the full Brazilian. You can skip it if you want — just let us know you like a ‘business in the front, party in the back’ kinda lifestyle.
Honestly though? It’s the easiest part. Quick. Painless. Done before you realize it happened. We handle positioning like pros (usually just a quick side-lying or knees-up moment — nothing Cirque du Soleil).

🧴 Afterward: Soothing + Tips

Once the hair is gone and your skin is smooth, we apply a gentle soothing serum to calm your skin. Then we’ll give you some quick aftercare advice like:

• No sweaty workouts, hot tubs, tanning or sex for 24 hours

• Exfoliate gently after 2–3 days

• Wear loose undies

Aftercare is 80% of your results, we only control 20% so the power is really in your hands. Once we feel we have successfully passed the torch of knowledge over to you, you can get dressed, we will schedule your next appointment and you’re out the door — hair-free and one step closer to your smooth girl (or boy) era.

💗 The Vibe: Chill, Professional, Judgment-Free

You might be nervous — totally normal. Our vibe is relaxed, funny, and no-pressure. We've done hundreds of Brazilians. I’d actually probably guess it’s in the thousands at this point. You’re body isn’t weird. It is extremely difficult to gross us out. Our job entails dealing with smells and secretions and human body parts. But that’s all it really is. Humans being human. And in our eyes, you’re just a human who wants to feel fresh. We want to help!

🛑 TL;DR:

• You come in → we talk → you undress → we wax→ you leave feeling like a newborn baby (in the best way)

• No awkwardness. No shame. Just confidence, smooth skin and a new bestie.
