If you’ve been thinking about getting a Brazilian wax in North Lakes but aren’t sure what to expect, you’re not alone. It’s one of our most asked-about services at Iconic Brow Wax N Beauty, and we’re here to walk you through everything — from preparation to aftercare.
What Is a Brazilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax removes all or most of the hair from the bikini area, including the front, back, and everything in between. Unlike a standard bikini wax which only tidies the edges, a Brazilian gives you a completely clean result that lasts weeks longer than shaving.
At our North Lakes salon inside Westfield, we use professional hot wax specifically formulated for sensitive skin — so even first-timers find the experience more comfortable than they expected.
How to Prepare for Your Brazilian Wax
Getting the best results from your Brazilian wax starts before you even arrive. Here’s what to do:
- Let hair grow to at least 5mm — about 2–3 weeks of growth from a shave. This is enough for the wax to grip properly.
- Exfoliate 24 hours before — this helps prevent ingrown hairs and lifts dead skin for a cleaner result.
- Avoid moisturiser on the day — creams and oils can prevent the wax from adhering properly.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing — your skin will be sensitive afterwards and tight clothing can irritate it.
- Avoid booking during your period if possible — skin is more sensitive at this time, although it’s not a problem if you do.
What Happens During the Appointment?
Your therapist will take you through to a private treatment room. You’ll be asked to undress from the waist down and lie on the treatment table. A fresh paper sheet is used for every client.
The therapist applies warm wax in small sections and removes it swiftly to minimise discomfort. The whole process for a Brazilian wax typically takes around 20–30 minutes depending on the area. Most clients are surprised by how quick and manageable it is — especially after the first time.
Does a Brazilian Wax Hurt?
We’d be fibbing if we said it was completely painless — but it’s very manageable, and it gets easier every time. The first appointment tends to be the most uncomfortable, because the hair follicles are strongest. With regular waxing every 4–6 weeks, the hair grows back finer and the process becomes much gentler.
Our therapists at the North Lakes salon are experienced and efficient. A quick, confident technique causes far less discomfort than a slow, hesitant one — and our team knows exactly how to keep you at ease throughout.
Brazilian Wax Aftercare
Taking care of your skin after your Brazilian wax makes a big difference to how long the results last and how comfortable you feel. Here’s what we recommend:
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and swimming for 24 hours — your pores are open and need time to close.
- Skip tight clothing for the rest of the day — breathable fabrics like cotton are best.
- No gym or intense exercise for 24 hours — sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin.
- Exfoliate gently from day 3 — this prevents ingrown hairs as the hair starts to regrow.
- Moisturise regularly — keeping the skin hydrated between appointments helps maintain smooth results.
How Long Does a Brazilian Wax Last?
Most clients find their Brazilian wax results last between 3 and 6 weeks. Everyone’s hair grows at a different rate, so this varies from person to person. With regular appointments, many clients find the hair grows back finer and slower over time — meaning longer-lasting smoothness and a more comfortable wax each visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does hair need to be for a Brazilian wax?
Your hair needs to be at least 5mm long — roughly 2 to 3 weeks of growth after shaving. If it’s too short, the wax won’t grip effectively. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to let it grow a little longer.
Can I get a Brazilian wax while pregnant?
Yes, Brazilian waxing is generally safe during pregnancy. However, skin can be more sensitive during this time, so please let your therapist know so they can take extra care. Always check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
How often should I get a Brazilian wax?
Most clients book every 4 to 6 weeks. Regular appointments help the hair grow back finer and softer, which makes each wax more comfortable and longer-lasting over time.
