Whether you’re having a simple leg wax or a full-on Brazilian done, waxing can be painful no matter how many times you do it.

However, there are ways you can make your next waxing appointment less painful.

A professional waxer shares tips on what you should and shouldn’t do before you go for a wax to make it as comfortable as possible.

“Take a hot shower before your appointment,” says Kristen at the Waxroom in her video that she shared on TikTok.

“It helps open up the pores and softens the hair for easier removal.”

She continues to advise clients to not go to an appointment hungover because it will make them more sensitive.

“Don’t come in after a fresh cup of coffee because that will get the blood going and it will also make you more sensitive,” she continues.

She adds that you can take a Tylenol or ibuprofen, anything like that, about 30 minutes before your appointment.

“You can have a mimosa or a small cocktail before your appointment, or a glass of wine. It’s not going to be that big of a deal. You’re not going to bleed to death. It’s not like a tattoo,” she adds.

Lastly, she advises that you remain consistent with your appointments.

“If you wax every four to six weeks and don’t shave in between it gets easier and easier each time.”
