Q. What is Brazilian Waxing?
A. This treatment involves the complete removal of the pubic hair (including backside). You have the option to leave a landing strip in front or remove as much as you would like.
Q. The procedure?
A. Powder is applied followed by a special hard wax designed for the most sensitive skin areas. Small patches of the hair are removed with utmost care!
To complete the procedure a soothing lotion is applied and homecare advice is given.
Q. How long should my hair be or how many days of growth is needed before waxing?
A. Your hair should be about 1/4" long (length of the eyebrows hair) and it will take about 3-4 weeks for your hair to grow this long.
Q. I have sensitive skin, will waxing give me a rash or some kind of irritation?
A. Sometimes red bumps will occur after a treatment. If this occurs, it usually goes away in about 24 hours. After your skin becomes used to the waxing process this reaction becomes almost nonexistent.
To prepare for a bikini wax, it is important that the hair is long enough to be ripped fully out from the root, the right length about ¼ inches. If you are used to shaving your bikini line, stop this practice for several weeks before getting a Brazilian wax for the best results. If it is too long, please have you hair trim, so they won't get caught up into the wax to be successfully pulled out It is recommended gently exfoliating the pubic area before the wax, and then doing so regularly after the wax to cut down on ingrown hairs.
A Brazilian bikini wax is an intense experience. The first time is definitely the hardest, because much of the hair has never been pulled out before. Most women are pleasantly surprised to see that it's not that bad and they only wish they started sooner. If you tend to have sensitive skin or stronger coarser hair, you can take a pain reliever 30-45 minutes prior to your service. Know that the pain is very temporary, and by the time you leave the salon, you should not feel any discomfort at all. The more you do the easier it gets.
After Brazilian bikini wax, give your skin a chance to breathe and be comfortable. Your favorite pair of painted on jeans may not be the best choice for directly after your first wax. Wear loose fitting clothes and no synthetics, especially if you have easily irritated.
