The Awkward Questions Everyone Has Before Waxing

If you’re thinking about booking your first wax, chances are you’ve had at least one slightly awkward thought pop into your head. Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Here are some of the most common things people secretly stress about before waxing.

1. “Am I too hairy?”

One thing I hear all the time is people worrying they’re “too hairy.” Trust me — you’re not. Hair growth is normal and waxing works best when there’s actually something there to remove. No judgment here.

2. “What if I smell?”

This is a huge fear, especially for Brazilian wax clients.

Bodies are normal and that includes natural scent. As long as basic hygiene is taken care of, you’re absolutely fine and there’s nothing to stress about. If you’d like extra comfort, I always have wipes available.

3. “What if I move, make a noise, or accidentally fart?”

Sometimes bodies make noises. It happens. I promise it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. Waxing is a judgment-free zone. If anything happens, I’ll take my cue from you, wether that’s laughing it off or pretending it didn’t happen.

4. “What if my vagina looks weird?”

Everyone looks different, and there’s no such thing as “weird” to me. I often tell my clients, “I’m looking but I’m not looking.”

Meaning, I’m focused only on safely and quickly removing the hair, nothing else.

5. “How Soon can I have sex after waxing?”

Isuggest waiting 24-48 hours (preferably 48) after your wax. This gives your skin time to recover and helps prevent irritation or sensitivity. This also goes for any activity that causes excessive sweating or friction.
