A Brazilian wax is a popular hair removal technique that involves the removal of hair from the pubic area, including the bikini line, labia, and buttocks, using hot wax. It is known for its thoroughness and ability to provide a smooth and hair-free finish.

During a Brazilian waxing session, a licensed esthetician or waxing professional applies warm wax to the desired areas using a wooden spatula or applicator. The wax is then covered with a cloth strip, which is pressed firmly onto the skin and quickly removed against the direction of hair growth. This process effectively pulls out the hair from the roots, resulting in a clean and smooth appearance.

 

The benefits of Brazilian wax include:

1. Long-lasting results: Unlike shaving or other temporary hair removal methods, Brazilian wax offers longer-lasting results. Since the hair is removed from the root, it takes longer for the hair to grow back compared to shaving, providing a longer period of smoothness.

2. Smooth and even finish: Brazilian waxing leaves the skin feeling incredibly smooth and soft. It removes hair from hard-to-reach areas and ensures a clean and even result, enhancing personal comfort and confidence.

3. Reduced hair regrowth: With regular Brazilian waxing sessions, the hair regrowth can become finer and sparser over time. The repeated removal of hair from the root weakens the hair follicles, resulting in slower and thinner regrowth.

4. Low-maintenance: After a Brazilian wax, there is no need for daily shaving or frequent touch-ups. This makes it a convenient option for those looking for a hair removal method that requires less maintenance in their routine.

5. Cleanliness and hygiene: Many individuals choose Brazilian waxing for the feeling of cleanliness it provides. With the removal of hair from the pubic region, it can help reduce sweat and odor, particularly during hot and humid conditions.

It's worth noting that Brazilian waxing can cause temporary discomfort or pain, especially during the initial sessions or for individuals with sensitive skin. However, the discomfort is typically brief and diminishes with subsequent treatments as the hair becomes finer and easier to remove

How to Prepare for Your Brazilian Bikini Wax

​

• Please shower before your appointment. We won’t spell it out…  you catch our drift. (in a pinch, wet wipes are a lifesaver!)

• Hair must be a quarter of an inch (about 10-14 days of growth) to adhere correctly to the wax.

• Resist the urge to shave between sessions.  Shaving chafes the skin and creates sharper, coarser hair

• Chill. Come to your appointment as relaxed as you can. Like a lot of things in life, the anticipation is often worse than the actual event.  Don’t listen to friends who tell you their waxing horror stories. They don’t come to us! Youtube videos and movie scenes with screaming ninnies will only get your knickers in a deeper twist.  This is your experience and we want it to be a good one!!

• Take a deep breath. We often ask clients to take a few deep breaths and to try to relax their muscles once they get on the waxing table.  Don’t worry—it really doesn’t hurt that much. And trust me, we want you to come back, so we won’t do anything to traumatize you!

• Know that it gets better.  We get that first-timers don’t know what to expect. My advice is to acknowledge that the first one will be the most uncomfortable, especially if you’ve been shaving prior to it. However, it doesn’t have to be the worst thing you’ve ever done. Most of the time, people leave our room pleasantly relieved that the wax wasn’t nearly as bad as they expected.  Every wax after the first one gets easier, especially when your hair starts growing in finer and we weaken that horrid follicle!

• Medicate if you must. if you’re concerned about the potential for pain, take a couple of advil 20 minutes before your appointment. Some clients feel this takes the edge off.

• Remember, it will be over before you know it. Being fuzz-free is so worth a couple minutes of discomfort!
