How to Prep for the Best Wax in Spring, TX
Pre-Waxing FAQs
How long should my hair be before waxing?
For best results, allow 4–6 weeks of hair growth before your wax. This ensures the hair is long enough for the wax to grip effectively and leave your skin smoother for longer.
Should I exfoliate before my appointment?
Yes! Exfoliate gently 24–48 hours before your wax to help remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs. Never exfoliate on the same day as your appointment, as this can cause irritation.

Should I shower before my waxing appointment?
Absolutely—showering before your wax is a common courtesy to your waxing expert and helps clean the area for a better waxing experience.
No time? No stress! We have wipes available at the studio so you can freshen up before your service.
What should I wear to my waxing appointment?
Choose loose, breathable clothing like relaxed pants, a skirt, or a dress. Tight clothing can trap heat and bacteria post-wax, leading to irritation and ingrowns.
Can I get waxed while on my period?
Yes, you can. We just ask that you wear a fresh tampon, and we recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to reduce sensitivity.
Need anything? We have tampons and wipes available for client use.
Can I wax while pregnant?
Yes! Many pregnant clients wax through all trimesters. Just let your esthetician know so we can ensure maximum comfort. Read our pregnancy waxing tips.
Can I drink coffee or alcohol before my wax?
We don’t recommend it. Caffeine and alcohol can heighten skin sensitivity, making the wax feel more uncomfortable. Stick with water and stay hydrated instead!
How long does a Brazilian wax appointment take?
At Beauty Bar by Mare, our waxing experts specialize in speed waxing, ensuring that all Brazilian waxing appointments are completed in just 15 minutes for your convenience.
I'm nervous! What if I can't handle the pain?
It’s totally normal to feel nervous before your wax—especially if it’s your first time. But you’re in amazing hands! Our licensed estheticians are fast, gentle, and experienced in working with first-timers. Most of our clients are surprised by how quick and easy it is. You’ve got this 🤎
Can I shave before my Brazilian wax, will it be less painful?
No—we recommend you don’t shave for at least 4-6 weeks before your appointment. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and can make waxing less effective. For best results, book your wax when the hair is long enough to grip.
Can I get waxed if I'm on medication like Accutane or Retin-A?
No, waxing is not safe while using these medications. Please consult with your doctor and disclose any prescriptions before booking.
Can I get a Brazilian wax before my spray tan?
Yes—but make sure to wax before tanning. Waxing after a spray tan can remove color. More tips on prep and aftercare.
Can I get a wax before a vacation or special event?
Yes! Book your Brazilian wax 2–3 days before a trip or event. Schedule now to look and feel your best.
How long does a Brazilian wax last?
A Brazilian wax typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular waxing can lead to finer, sparser regrowth. Start your waxing journey here.
Will waxing cause ingrown hairs?
Ingrowns can happen if proper aftercare isn’t followed or if the right post-waxing products aren’t used. That’s why it’s important to exfoliate 2–3 times a week between waxes, moisturize twice daily, wear loose clothing, and stick to ingrown-safe skincare recommended by your waxing expert. These steps help keep your skin smooth, healthy, and bump-free.

How often should I get waxed?
For most clients, we recommend every 4–6 weeks to stay on schedule and keep hair growing back finer and softer. Consistency is key to easier, less painful waxing over time.
Can I reschedule or cancel my waxing appointment?
Yes—please give at least 48 hours’ notice. Read our full cancellation policy before booking.
