💡 What Is a Brazilian Wax, Exactly?

By Skin Care by J ROBLES

Looking for the best Brazilian wax in Monterey, CA? You’re in the right place. At Skin Care by J ROBLES, we specialize in professional, top-quality Brazilian and body waxing services designed to give you baby-smooth skin in a clean, comfortable environment. Whether you’re feeling curious or a little nervous, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know before, during, and after your Brazilian wax appointment.

A Brazilian wax removes most or all of the hair from your bikini area, including the front, back, and everything in between. The style is totally up to you—we’re here to customize your wax based on your preferences, comfort level, and desired look.

📅 Before Your Appointment: Prep Like a Pro

To make your first wax as quick and comfortable as possible, a little prep goes a long way:

  • Let it grow: Hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for the wax to grip effectively.

  • Skip shaving: Don’t shave before your appointment—even if it feels tempting.

  • Gently exfoliate: Use a mild scrub or exfoliating mitt 24–48 hours beforehand to help prevent ingrown hairs.

  • Stay lotion-free: Avoid applying lotions, oils, or heavy creams on the day of your appointment.

  • Dress comfortably: Loose-fitting clothing helps prevent irritation after your wax.

😌 During Your Appointment: What It’s Really Like

Here’s the truth: your first Brazilian wax will probably be quicker and less painful than you imagine—especially when done by a trained professional like at Skin Care by J ROBLES.

  • We start with a consultation: You’ll be welcomed into a clean, private treatment room where we’ll chat briefly about your preferences and answer any last-minute questions.

  • We use high-quality wax: Our wax is designed for sensitive skin and removes hair efficiently, minimizing discomfort.

  • It’s fast: The full service usually takes about 15–20 minutes.

  • Yes, it stings—but only for a second: Most clients say the anticipation is worse than the actual wax.

And remember—we talk you through every step, make sure you're comfortable, and can take breaks if needed.

🧴 Aftercare: Keep That Skin Glowing

You just got waxed—now what? Here are our top tips to help your skin stay smooth, soft, and bump-free:

  • No hot baths, workouts, or tight clothes for 24 hours-48 hours

  • Avoid touching or scratching the area.

  • Use a soothing product (ask us for our favorite aftercare recommendations).

  • Exfoliate 2–3 days later to help prevent ingrown hairs—gently and regularly.

💬 Final Thoughts: You Got This

It’s totally normal to feel nervous about your first Brazilian wax—but we promise, it gets easier (and less painful!) each time. Many clients even say they prefer waxing to shaving once they see and feel the difference.
