Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Gentlemen’s Brazilian.

During a Gentlemen's Brazilian appointment you’ll receive front and back waxing with privacy and professional technique. Expect a brief consultation, targeted waxing, soothing post-care, and discreet aftercare guidance. Sessions usually take 30–60 minutes depending on hair and sensitivity.

Hair should be about 1/4 inch (approximately 5–7 mm) for effective wax adhesion. If hair is longer, we trim it briefly; too short will reduce results. Aim to avoid shaving for at least three weeks before your appointment.

Pain varies by individual and area, but Gentlemen's Brazilian uses soft, precise techniques to minimize discomfort. Experienced technicians employ calming methods, quick removal, and post-wax soothing to reduce sting. Topical numbing can be discussed during booking if you’re particularly sensitive.

Most clients book maintenance every four to six weeks while routines may extend to six to eight weeks as growth slows. We’ll recommend a personalized schedule after the first two sessions to optimize comfort and long-term hair reduction.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, aspirin, or heavy alcohol 24–48 hours before waxing. Do not shave between appointments and arrive clean. If you’re on blood thinners or have skin conditions, notify us ahead of time for a safe, tailored approach.

Yes — sensitive skin can be waxed with precautions. We perform a consultation and optional patch test, use gentle wax formulas and slower technique, and recommend calming post-care. If severe sensitivity or skin conditions exist, we’ll discuss alternatives or medical clearance.
