Don't shave for 2 to 3 weeks before your appointment. This is important for the next step… Once your hair is at least ¼ of an inch long, you can come in for a wax. If it's longer than ½ an inch, you may want to trim (not shave) the area for a more pleasant experience.
Even though some salons like Uni K use special wax that can get super short hairs, it's still best to get as much growth as possible in one shot. So in a pinch, a place that uses stripless wax can nab you as soon as two days after shaving, but Grupenmager says it's best to give it seven to 10 days at the minimum.
To expand on that, at least 1/4 inch or 3-4 weeks since the last time you've shaved. We can wax if it hasn't been 3 weeks, BUT that is when the client (you) has to be scrupulous with exfoliating with products. If you haven't, in-grown hairs will most likely occur after your waxing.
First, be sure that your hair is about a ¼ inch long, or the length of a sprinkle. If it's your first Brazilian wax, avoid shaving at least two weeks before your reservation.

Your hair should be ¼” to ½” long to ensure good results. For reference, that's about the length of a grain of rice. We recommend scheduling your waxing services about 4 weeks apart, but some people will be able to go longer and some might want to come back sooner, depending on how thick and dark their hair is.
Hair longer than ½ inch can make waxing more painful, especially for sensitive areas like the bikini line. Longer hair is more likely to tangle or break during the process, increasing discomfort and prolonging the procedure.
After your first professional wax appointment, your hair should start growing back after one to two weeks. This is because the hair that hasn't broken through the skin yet can't be removed from the root.

2 weeks is a bit too short to plan for your next Brazilian wax, and isn't... If the appearance of stubble makes you want to run back to your esthetician a couple of weeks after your last appointment, a regular Brazilian waxing schedule can help you get the long-lasting results you want.
Causes of Pimples After Waxing
Waxing can cause breakouts and irritation for several reasons: allergies to the wax, skin sensitivity, touching the area, or even getting a mild burn. "Waxing removes hair follicles from the root," says dermatologist, Karan Lal, DO, FAAD.
On average, clients enjoy a silky, smooth feeling for about 2 to 3 weeks following their Brazilian wax session. It's important to understand that hair growth is influenced by several factors, including genetics, hormonal balance, and personal health.
Everyone's hairs grow in different cycles so it's possible that hairs below the skin's surface are just now sprouting after your wax service. Daily moisturizing between services is key, since dry or brittle hair can easily break during a bikini or Brazilian wax service.

A Brazilian wax can be painful. It should get less uncomfortable the more often you do it. You might want to take an ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) about 30 minutes before your appointment to reduce discomfort.
