Frequently Asked Questions *

  • Not at all! While waxing is my specialty, I also offer lash lifts, brow laminations, mons facials, and intimate + underarm brightening treatments so you can get everything you need in one place

  • It’s not completely painless, but it’s very quick and manageable. Most clients notice it gets way easier the more consistent they are with their waxes

  • That’s completely normal! almost everyone feels nervous before their first Brazilian.

    Here’s the honest truth: it’s not painless, but it’s very quick and way more manageable than people expect. The anticipation is usually worse than the actual wax. Once you get past that first visit, most clients are like “okay… that wasn’t as bad as I thought.”

    A few things that help:

    • Go in with about 2–3 weeks of growth (it makes the process smoother)

    • Avoid caffeine right before (it can make you more sensitive)

    • Take a deep breath and relax your body — tension makes it feel worse

    • Stay consistent — it gets easier every single time

  • Bikini Wax:
    Removes hair along the sides and top of the bikini line (anything that would show outside of underwear). A natural, minimal cleanup.

    Deep Bikini (with butt strip):
    Removes more hair from the front and includes the butt strip. This option is for clients who want to leave some hair in the front while still getting cleaned up everywhere else.

    Deep Bikini (no butt strip):
    Removes hair from the front but does not include the butt strip. You can choose to leave some hair in the front or remove most of it while keeping the back untouched.

    Brazilian Wax:
    Removes all hair from the front and back — completely bare, no hair left

    • Brazilian waxing and most body waxing: you can expect to be hair-free for about 2 weeks.

    • Underarms and face: these areas can be waxed every 2 weeks; after waxing you’ll typically be hair-free for about 1 week.

  • If it’s your first time, here’s exactly how to get ready so your experience is smoother and way less stressful:

    Hair length matters:
    Make sure your hair is about 2–3 weeks of growth (around the length of a grain of rice). If it’s too short, the wax won’t grip properly.

    Exfoliate (lightly):
    Start gentle exfoliation 24–48 hours before your appointment to help remove dead skin and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Don’t exfoliate the same day.

    Skip lotions & oils day of:
    Come with clean, dry skin. No lotions, oils, or heavy products — they can affect how the wax adheres.

    Avoid caffeine right before (if you can):
    Caffeine can make your body more sensitive, which can increase discomfort.

    Wear loose clothing:
    After your wax, your skin will be more sensitive. Loose cotton underwear and clothing help prevent irritation.

    Don’t shave beforehand:
    Even if you’re nervous, don’t shave — it can make the wax less effective and your results won’t be as smooth.

    Relax your body:
    Tension makes waxing feel worse. Deep breaths help more than people think.

  • For best results, I recommend coming in every 4–6 weeks.

    Staying on a consistent schedule helps:

    • Reduce discomfort over time

    • Keep hair growing in softer and finer

    • Prevent ingrowns and irritation

    • Give you longer-lasting smooth results

    If you’re new to waxing or just started your routine, sticking closer to every 4 weeks helps your hair cycle

  • Yes! You can get waxed on your period. You will just want to make sure to put in a fresh tampon before your appointment.

    If you wish to reschedule due to discomfort, you are more than welcome to do so. This is one of the reasons our policies are set how they are, to benefit both par

Every waxing Question you’ve been wanting to ask

  • The first strip usually feels like a quick, sharp sting right as the wax is pulled. It’s intense for maybe a second or two, like a strong pinch or snap on the skin. Right after that, it drops off almost immediately. there’s a brief warm or sensitive feeling, but it doesn’t linger the way people expect.

    Then your body kind of goes, “oh… that’s it?” because it’s over so fast.

    What surprises most first-timers is:

    • It’s not a constant pain—just short bursts

    • Your brain builds it up way more beforehand than what you actually feel

    • Once you get through the first couple of strips, your body adjusts quickly

    The biggest factor is tension. if you’re bracing and holding your breath, it feels sharper. If you stay relaxed and breathe through it, it’s noticeably easier.

    And just being real: the anticipation is usually worse than the actual wax itself.

  • Nothing dramatic is going to happen and you’re definitely not the first person to worry about that.

    Here’s what’s actually true:

    Sweating:
    Totally normal. Some people get a little sweaty from nerves or sensitivity. I’ll just continue working, no big deal.

    Gas (farting):
    Also normal. It can happen because of positioning and relaxed muscles. Waxers are professionals and don’t react or make it awkward, we just keep going.

    “Stinking”:
    As long as you come in clean, you’re fine. A quick shower before your appointment is all that’s needed. Bodies are bodies and there’s nothing unexpected or “perfect” required.

    Waxers see hundreds of clients. We’ve literally seen it all, and none of it is embarrassing or uncommon in this setting. The appointment is focused on getting you smooth, not judging anything.

  • I’m going to be very direct with you here: there isn’t one “normal” when it comes to how people look down there.

    Genitals vary a lot in:

    • Color (light, dark, mixed tones)

    • Labia size and symmetry (most are not even)

    • Hair patterns and density

    • Texture and shape

    All of that is completely normal.

    Waxers see a wide range of bodies every single day. Nothing you have is surprising, unusual, or “wrong” to a professional. The job is purely technical. remove hair safely and cleanly, not to evaluate how anything looks.

    Also worth knowing:

    • There is no “standard” or “ideal” appearance in real life (what people see online is heavily edited or curated)

    • Most clients who feel nervous about this are actually perfectly within the most common range of variation

    • Your body doesn’t need to look a certain way to get waxed comfortably or professionally

    If anything, what matters most for your appointment is just hygiene (coming in clean) and hair length, not appearance.

  • After a Brazilian wax, you should wait at least 24–48 hours before any “extra curricular activities.”

    That includes:

    • Intimate activity (sex)

    • Heavy sweating (workouts, running, hot yoga)

    • Hot tubs, saunas, baths

    • Swimming

    • Tight clothing that causes friction

    Why you wait:

    Right after waxing, your hair follicles are open and your skin is more sensitive. Heat, sweat, and friction can lead to:

    • irritation

    • ingrown hairs

    • small bumps or breakouts

    • increased risk of bacteria getting in the skin

    What most people do:

    • 24 hours minimum = absolute baseline

    • 48 hours = ideal for best skin results (especially for first-time waxes or sensitive skin)

    After that, just keep things gentle, wear breathable clothing, and start light exfoliation after about 48 hours.

  • It can feel awkward in your head beforehand, but in reality? For the person doing the waxing, it’s just a routine service.

    Waxers are focused on:

    • placement

    • skin tension

    • hair removal technique

    • speed and efficiency

    Not on judging you or thinking anything is “weird.”

    What usually happens in the room:

    • You’re positioned in specific ways for access and comfort

    • The waxer gives simple instructions (“hold here,” “relax your leg,” etc.)

    • There’s often good conversation

    • The whole thing moves quickly. most Brazilians are done in 15 minutes

    What feels awkward to clients is usually:

    • being exposed (which is totally normal to feel at first)

    • not knowing what to do with your body

    • overthinking how you look

    But from the waxer side, it’s medical-like routine work. After a few minutes, most people relax because they realize nothing strange is happening. it’s just a service.

    So no, it’s not “weird.” It might feel vulnerable at first, but it’s very normal, very common, and very straightforward for the professional doing it.

  • At Violet’s Beaute Palace, we believe waxing should be accessible, comfortable, and dignified for everyone. If you are plus-size or have mobility limitations, we accommodate your needs to ensure a safe, respectful, and effective waxing experience.

  • Your hair should be about ¼ inch long (around the length of a grain of rice) or about 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving.

    This length allows the wax to grip properly for the best results. If it’s too short, the hair may not be removed completely. If it’s too long, it can be trimmed before your service.

  • Waxing itself doesn’t cause ingrown hairs, but they can happen if the hair gets trapped under the skin while it grows back.

    The good news is: waxing actually helps reduce ingrowns over time compared to shaving, because hair is removed from the root and grows back softer and finer.

    How to prevent ingrowns:

    • Exfoliate gently 2–3 times a week (after 48 hours post-wax)

    • Moisturize daily to keep skin soft

    • Avoid tight clothing right after waxing

    • Stay consistent with your waxing schedule (every 4–6 weeks)

Waxing results and aftercare

What aftercare do I need in between waxing?

Moisturize daily:
you need to moisturize daily. this is going to soften the hair and the skin. this is going to help prevent ingrowns, skin lifting, and ensure the best wax possible. i recomend skin script light aloe moisturizer to add hydration into the skin and royal body oil to lock in moisture.

Exfoliatation:

exfoliation is going to remove the dead skin which prevents ingrowns , because the hair wont get under the dead skin. theres physical and chemical exfoliators. i recomend skin scripts rasberry refining cleanser and clarifying toner pads

What should I avoid after waxing?

For the first 24–48 hours:

  • No hot showers, baths, saunas, or steam rooms

  • Avoid heavy sweating (gym, workouts, running)

  • Skip tight clothing that causes friction

  • No swimming (pools, oceans, lakes)

  • No tanning beds or direct sun exposure

  • Avoid touching or picking the area

  • Stay away from fragranced lotions or body washes

  • No exfoliating right away

how often should I be exfoliating and moisturizing?

Moisturizing:
Moisturize the waxed area daily, 1–2 times per day, starting the day of or the day after your appointment. Use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion or oil to keep the skin hydrated and support the healing process.

Exfoliating:
Begin exfoliating 2 days after your wax, once any sensitivity has settled. Exfoliate 2–3 times per week using a gentle exfoliant such as a mild scrub, exfoliating glove, or a chemical exfoliant like salicylic or lactic acid.

Products and Skin

I’ve been waxing but I’m still getting ingrowns

1

We offer a range of solutions designed to meet your Ingrowns can still happen even if you wax regularly, especially if your aftercare isn’t consistent or your skin is prone to them. They usually occur when hair gets trapped under the skin as it grows back.

To help reduce them:

  • Exfoliate 2–3 times per week (start 48 hours after waxing)

  • Use a chemical exfoliant like Skin Script Clarifying Toner Pads

  • Use a gentle physical exfoliant like Skin Script Raspberry Refining Scrub

  • Moisturize daily with Skin Script Light Aloe Moisturizer and lock in hydration with Royal Body Oil

  • Avoid tight clothing and friction after waxing

With consistent aftercare and regular waxing every 4–6 weeks, ingrowns typically reduce over time.

How do I know if I need a mons-facial?

2

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or A mons facial is helpful if you’re dealing with texture, ingrowns, or dark spots on the mons pubis area (the top/front area above the bikini line).

You may benefit from one if you notice:

  • Frequent ingrown hairs in that area

  • Bumps or clogged pores after waxing or shaving

  • Dark spots or uneven skin tone

  • Rough or bumpy texture

  • Dry or irritated skin that doesn’t smooth out with regular aftercare

A mons-facial helps deeply exfoliate, calm inflammation, and improve skin clarity so the area looks and feels smoother between waxes.

What kind of products can I use to cleanse my intimate area

3

We combine a thoughtful, human-centered For daily cleansing, I recommend using a gentle, unscented soap on the external area only (vulva). This helps keep the skin clean without causing irritation or disrupting the natural balance.

Avoid using any scented washes, harsh soaps, or internal cleansing products, as these can lead to irritation or sensitivity.

I also offer in-person recommendations tailored to your skin type and needs during your appointment so you can choose what works best for you.

can I just use products from the store for my aftercare

4

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or I personally don’t recommend using random store-bought products. There are a few gentle, unscented options that may be okay depending on the ingredients, but ultimately it varies by product. It’s always safer to trust your esthetician and use the products they recommend so they know exactly what you’re using and can treat your skin in the best way possible.

For best results, I recommend professional aftercare products specifically chosen for waxing and intimate skin to help prevent ingrowns, reduce irritation, and maintain results safely.
