At Brazils Waxing Center, we pride ourselves on creating a comfortable environment in which you can take advantage of our waxing services. One service we offer that people may feel nervous for or awkward about is our Brazilian wax service. Fortunately, our wax technicians have performed countless of Brazilian waxes and feel perfectly comfortable working with all kinds of people, and they will do whatever they can to put you at ease during this waxing service. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t feel a bit nervous your first time. This might manifest in a loss for words. After all, isn’t it awkward to talk to someone while they remove your hair down there? While your wax technician will help keep the conversation going (sitting in silence during a Brazilian wax is way more awkward; trust us), and the service should only last 15 minutes or so, you may feel better having a few topics at hand to smooth over any uncomfortable moments.
Your pets
If you have spent any time reading internet memes recently, you know that people love pets! Whether you have a dog, cat, fish, or something more unusual, your pets are a safe topic for any situation. If you are feeling awkward during your Brazilian wax, ask your technician about their pets, and tell a funny story about something silly your pet has done. This will lighten the mood and give you something fun to focus on if you’re feeling uncomfortable.
Your reason for getting waxed
Whether it is a special occasion, you’re going on vacation, or you’re getting waxed for the sake of hygiene, your reason for getting waxed could be a good topic of conversation for you and your technician. If you are feeling shy about it, you don’t have to get into specifics, but we have heard every reason in the book, so don’t worry about shocking your wax technician.
Where you’re from
The first time you meet your wax technician, they won’t know anything about you. This might make you feel awkward during your Brazilian wax, but that is actually to your advantage! There is so much to talk about when you don’t know someone well. You may bring up your own background, or ask your technician about theirs.
What you do
A great fallback topic when you’re not sure what to talk about is what you do for a living. You can talk about the requirements of your position, what your career goals are, and what you like about what you do. You can also ask your technician about how they got into cosmetology, and what they like about it. You could even ask if they have ever waxed someone with an interesting tattoo or reason to get waxed, though don’t be too probing; your technician won’t want to reveal too much in order to protect the privacy of our clients.
Aftercare tips
Your technician is a waxing expert, so if there is anyone to ask about aftercare, it’s them. If you are feeling uncomfortable during your wax, now is the perfect time to learn about post-Brazilian care. Your technician can give all the tips to keep you smooth and hairless for weeks to come, without irritation.
The weather
We know it is cliche; the weather is the go-to topic of conversation for any situation with a virtual stranger. However, it is something neutral that everyone can comment on, and may help put you at ease during your Brazilian wax. Don’t worry about falling back on this topic; we’re happy to chat away about the sunshine or impending rain if it puts you at ease.
Keep in mind that over time, if you continue getting regular Brazilian waxes, you will get to know your wax technician, and conversation will come a lot easier! At Brazils Waxing Center, we will do everything in our power to help you feel comfortable during your first Brazilian wax. Ready to go bare? Book an appointment online today!
