What is 【Bridal Shaving】?

There are many beauty-related tasks that brides-to-be should tackle in preparation for their wedding, such as esthetics, nail care, and eyelash extensions. One of these is 【Bridal Shaving】.

When you hear the term shaving, you might associate it with men's facial shaving. Some brides-to-be might think, "I’m not as hairy as men; I don’t think I need it."

However, Bridal Shaving is an essential beauty treatment that every bride should consider!♡

What does Bridal Shaving actually involve?

Bridal Shaving, which is for brides, is not like how men typically shave their beards at a barber shop.

It gently and carefully shaves off fine, soft hair on the face and body.

During the wedding ceremony or a pre-wedding photoshoot, brides wear wedding dresses that expose areas like the upper arms, shoulders, décolletage, nape of the neck, and back.

Since you are constantly exposed to the gaze of cameras and guests, it's natural to feel uneasy if there are any visible hairs!

By undergoing Bridal Shaving to remove all the fine hair from exposed areas, you can confidently face close-up shots and interactions with your guests♡

What are the effects of Bridal Shaving?

Bridal Shaving is not merely a cosmetic comfort that provides some psychological ease.

Have a look at this photo. It compares the nape of the bride before and after having Bridal Shaving.

By shaving off the fine hairs and any hair of intermediate length, the shape of the nape looks neat and beautiful.

The skin tone on the back is also noticeably brighter.

Especially for those with a lot of fine hair, the change in skin color can be seen with the naked eye.*

Additionally, Bridal Shaving removes old dead skin cells along with fine hairs. Thanks to this, your skin texture improves and makeup goes on better!♡

There’s nothing better than having great makeup on your wedding day!

What is the recommended timing for Bridal Shaving?

Bridal Shaving is something you definitely want to do before the pre-wedding photoshoot or the wedding.

So when is the best time to do it?

The recommended timing is one week to three days before the ceremony. It’s a very busy period, but this is just the right timing.

The skin will be sensitive for a short while after shaving, but in a few days, it will adjust, allowing you to present yourself in the best condition on the big day!♡

If you have sensitive skin, it’s a good idea to schedule it about a week in advance just in case your skin reacts.

What types of Bridal Shaving are there?

Bridal Shaving can be broadly divided into two types: [Razor Shaving] and [Soft Shaving].

[Razor Shaving] involves using a razor (blade) for the shaving process.

Since it uses a blade, it effectively removes old dead skin cells and can treat finer areas, which is a great advantage. It can only be performed by licensed barbers, so there's also peace of mind knowing it's done by a professional!*

However, it's advisable for brides with metal allergies to avoid this method.

In addition, some brides might experience itching or redness depending on their skin type, so it’s recommended to consult with the salon and try out a test plan before the actual event.

[Soft Shaving] is done using electric shavers or fine hair trimmers. Compared to [Razor Shaving], it may be somewhat difficult to completely shave fine areas, but it allows for the removal of fine hair without using a razor.

This method is recommended for brides with allergies or sensitive skin.
