Avoid caffeine and alcohol before a Brazilian wax, as they can tighten pores and make skin more sensitive. Don't exfoliate right before the appointment to prevent irritation, but do so 24-48 hours prior. Refrain from shaving for at least 2-3 weeks to ensure hair is the right length for waxing. Avoid scheduling during your menstrual cycle, as skin can be more sensitive. Lastly, don’t apply lotions or creams on the day of the appointment to ensure wax adherence for effective hair removal.
