Is brow waxing painful for first-timers?

< 1 min read

While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most people find brow waxing to be a quick, manageable discomfort. Think of it as a series of swift pinches. For first-timers at House of Aesthetics, here’s what you can expect:

  • Sensitive areas: The most sensitive parts are typically the inner brow and brow bone.
  • Slight redness: It’s normal to experience some temporary redness and warmth after waxing.
  • Lessens over time: With regular waxing, most people find the sensation becomes less noticeable.

Tips to minimize brow waxing discomfort:

  • Schedule wisely: Avoid waxing right before your period when skin can be more sensitive.
  • Talk to your aesthetician: At House of Aesthetics, we’re here to help! Let us know if you’re nervous.
  • Over-the-counter relief: Taking a mild pain reliever beforehand can help some people.
  • Topical numbing: We offer topical numbing products for those with very low pain tolerance.
