Brazilian Secrets #1 - Longer is Better

We know hair needs to be at least 1/4" to wax, but what if it's longer? Run and hide? Cancel? NO!

Some trim the hair to 1/4" with clippers or scissors. Personally, I detest trimming. It's messy and hair gets everywhere, even in your lip gloss. GROSS!

Clients trimming themselves? Not a fan. They often trim too short, making waxing difficult and leaving stubble. Frustrating for both technician and client!

I tell clients NOT to trim and don’t offer trimming. It makes for a cleaner service. I’d rather wax long hair than fight stubble. I’ve waxed clients with hair 4-6" long in the Brazilian area. Yes, it’s a bit terrifying, but manageable.

Remember, you don’t need to cover the entire hair length with wax, just the root. Trimming bad, long hair good. Hair needs to be a minimum of 1/4" long, not exactly 1/4". Longer is better!
