Yes. The skin around your intimate area is particularly sensitive, so to minimise the discomfort you may feel during your appointment, you should exfoliate 2 days before your treatment (this helps to ensure the wax grabs your hair, not your skin) and keep your bikini area out of the sun. It’s also recommended that you hydrate your skin by moisturising it regularly (although avoid using oils on the day of your waxing), and avoid booking your appointment during or 3-5 days before your period when your skin is likely to be extra sensitive.

Many therapists are experienced with first-timers and can make the experience as comfortable as possible. Browse and book first-timer-friendly Hollywood wax specialists near you on Fresha.

A Hollywood wax removes all pubic hair with absolutely nothing left. A Brazilian wax also removes most hair but may leave a small strip or triangle at the front. Hollywood is the more complete of the two options.

Unlike other bikini waxing treatments, a Hollywood wax is a hair removal method that uses hard or strip wax to remove all hair from the bikini area and backside.

Your pubic hair needs to be long enough for the wax to be effective, so make sure it’s at least one quarter of an inch (0.6cm) long before you attend your appointment. In the 3 days leading up to your Hollywood waxing it’s recommended that you avoid doing anything that could irritate your skin: that means no swimming in chlorinated water, keeping your bikini area free from moisturising oils and out of the sun. You should also avoid booking your Hollywood wax within 3 days of your period, due to skin sensitivity.

A Hollywood wax typically lasts 3–5 weeks. With regular waxing, hair regrowth often becomes finer and sparser over time. Avoiding shaving between appointments gives the best results.
