So, you’re thinking about getting waxed for the first time. First of all—yay, welcome to the smooth side! Second of all—breathe. We know it sounds a little scary. “Is it going to hurt? Should I trim first? Do I have to, like…get naked?”
Trust me, every single first-time waxer in Wayne, Clifton, or Totowa has asked these same questions. And we’re here for all of it.
So let’s break down everything you need to know to walk into your first appointment at Glaminator Beauty Bar feeling like a confident queen—not a bundle of nerves.
Spoiler: It’s Really Not That Bad
Let’s tackle the elephant in the room: yes, waxing can sting—but only for a second. It’s not some medieval torture session (we promise). Most clients in Woodland Park say it’s more of a quick ouch than an actual pain, and honestly? The results are so worth it.
Pro tip: it gets way easier the more you do it. The hair grows back finer and softer, and your skin adjusts quickly. Plus, our expert wax techs know how to make you comfortable—and maybe even laugh a little through it.
What to Do Before You Come In
Okay, prep talk. First-timers, listen up:
- Don’t shave! We need hair to be at least ¼ inch long (about the size of a grain of rice). If you’ve shaved too recently, the wax won’t grip, and we’ll have to reschedule.
- Gently exfoliate the day before—not the day of. Think sugar scrub in the shower. It helps lift dead skin and lets the wax grab hair more easily.
- Skip the lotion, oils, or self-tanner the day of your appointment. Clean, dry skin is the move.
- And yes, you can absolutely get waxed on your period. Just wear a tampon and maybe let us know ahead of time so we can make you extra comfy.
We’ve had girls from Little Falls come in totally nervous and leave smiling, saying “That wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought!”
Let’s Talk Comfort Zones
We get it. Getting a bikini or Brazilian wax can feel…vulnerable. But this is literally what we do, all day every day. No judgment, no awkward vibes—just trained professionals helping you feel amazing in your own skin.
Bring your favorite playlist, wear loose clothes, and don’t be afraid to chat with us. We’re here to make it chill and as quick as possible.
