Introduction To Brazilian Waxing |
| |
We wrote up this web page on Brazilian waxing for the people who have never had a Brazilian but are curious about trying it, for people who are familiar with Brazilian waxing but maybe aren't happy with their current service provider and are on the look out for a better one, and to help persuade those who know little or nothing about Brazilian waxing to consider it as a valid service for hair removal for the many reasons people choose Brazilian waxing. |

| The Many Reasons People Choose Brazilian Waxing |
| |
Here are the typical reasons most people begin thinking about or decide to get a Brazilian wax. Some people like to get Brazilian waxing done because it feels cleaner and smoother and makes them feel sexier as well as giving them a greater level of confidence in social situations, especially when wearing a bikini or during intimate moments. Others consider Brazilian waxing for special occasions like an anniversary, honeymoon, vacation, or just to spice things up a bit with their significant other. Others are just looking for a solution for the frustrating problems associated with regular shaving in the bikini area such as breakouts (bumps), irritation, and ingrown hairs. Brazilian waxing helps people with all of those situations and more. |

Top 4 Things You Should Know Before You Get Your First Brazilian Wax |
| |
1. How To Get Over Being Scared…Talk To Someone In The Biz |
| |
It’s Makes Sense That You Might Be Nervous, Anxious, Scared, And Maybe Even A Little Embarrassed About Getting Your First Brazilian Wax. You Might Chicken Out Altogether If You Come Across A Service Provider That Has Poor Communication Skills, Can’t Answer Your Questions Satisfactorily, And Doesn’t Instantly Make You Feel Comfortable Right From The Start. |
| |
For a service that is so intimate in nature, you need to feel like the people that will be working with you are professional, personable, caring, kind, and thoughtful about your fears and anxieties and can fully answer any questions you have before, during, and after your appointment. It’s important for most new clients that the person working with them takes the time to explain everything first so that you feel completely comfortable and know that they can help talk you through the whole thing, if necessary. That’s something that just makes the experience so much more relaxing and pleasant. If you call and they aren’t helpful or thorough on the phone and give you “short” answers, then you probably aren’t going to feel comfortable going there either. |

To Help Make Sure You Don’t Have A Potentially Nerve Wracking Brazilian Wax For Your First Time, We Encourage You To Do One Or All Of The Following First: #1 Go To The Website And Read It At Least TWICE, #2 Call Service Providers Directly (Our Number Is 678-721-4244 And Ask To Speak To Kelly For Brazilian Waxing), #3 Send An Email With Your Questions (You Can Use Our “Brazilian Waxing Inquiry” Form Located At The Very Bottom Of This Webpage To Submit Your Questions To Us Through Our Web Site.) |

2. The Most Important Thing About A Brazilian Wax…The End Result (No Pun Intended) |
| |
At Some Waxing Places, You Might Not Always Get A Thorough Wax—Sometimes The Results Of The Service Fluctuate Depending On Who You Get That Day, The Technique That They Use And The Ones They Don’t, And Whether They Are Client Centered Or Profit Centered. |
| |
You want to get the results you expect, no excuses; no exceptions. If you go to one of those places that offer a really cheap price for a Brazilian wax then beware that most of them use a “cookie cutter” one size fits all waxing technique for every Brazilian Wax they do. For a few people, those canned procedures might work fine, but for most people, that method is going to leave you disappointed. That’s because everyone is different “down there” and there is no one technique that works perfectly for every client. Places that use "waxing templates" will claim to be faster and cheaper but their focus is on getting you in and out quickly and never on a thorough wax. The most important thing about a Brazilian wax service is to get complete hair removal that will leave you smooth and sexy for weeks. |

Now That May Sound Crazy, But What’s Crazier Is To Pay For A Brazilian Wax And Then Go Home To Find Out That You’re Going To Have To Shave Or Pluck Out The Hairs They Missed. |

3. I’m Ready To Go For It…But I Am Dreading How Much I Think It Might Hurt |
| |
That Brazilian Wax Was So Painful…I Was Tempted To Get Up And Walk Out Half Done!!! (That’s What You’ll Say If You Get A Technician Whose Waxing Technique Doesn’t Include Methods To Manage And Minimize Your Level Of Discomfort.) |
| |
You want technicians who know and use a smart waxing strategy to purposefully minimize your discomfort (pain). In other words, you don’t want someone who has no real method to what they are doing. You’ll suffer needlessly if you get a thoughtless technician who just performs their waxing routine exactly the same on every client. If that is what you get then your experience will be much more painful, messy, and may take longer than it should, if you expect them to do a thorough job. That won’t happen with a waxing technician who has experience and knows what they are doing, and is client oriented. Client oriented means that they work to give you a perfect result while managing your discomfort to a level you can live with. |

There Is No Such Thing As A Pain Free Brazilian Wax; However, It Should NEVER Be Excruciatingly Painful Either. There Is A Happy Medium That Almost Anyone Can Tolerate. We Literally Invented Our Own Unique Method For Brazilian Waxing That Drastically Minimizes Your Level Of Discomfort With The Brazilian Wax. If You Have Had Brazilian Waxes Elsewhere, You’ll Be Surprised How Much Less Discomfort You’ll Experience With Our Strategic And Precise Waxing Methods |
| |
4. Does It Matter What Kind Of Wax They Use? |
| |
Be Aware That Not All Waxing Products Are Equal In Quality And Performance. If You End Up At A Place That Uses Poor Quality Waxing Products, Then You Will Be Taking On A Big Risk Of Having A Lot More Pain And Poor Results. |
| |
| You want only high quality wax and waxing products used on your body. Remember, low quality products usually mean more pain, more time, less thorough job, and later on you may develop skin irritations or reactions. Low quality waxing products won’t provide you with best experience for your Brazilian wax. |
| |
We Only Use High Quality Wax. We Use The Best Of The Best Hard Wax, Which Is The Standard Type Of Wax For Brazilian Waxing. The Advantage Of Our Hard Wax Is That It Helps To Minimize Discomfort During A Brazilian Wax. Hard Wax Pulls Less (Which Means Less Discomfort) And Hairs Don’t Break Off As They Do With The Soft Wax And Cloth Strips That Some Places Use. |

Brazilian Waxing Frequently AVOIDED Questions |
| |
Q: What is a Brazilian Bikini Wax?
A: A small strip of hair is sometimes left if client prefers, but usually, all hair from the pubic area and anal area is removed.
Q: How long should I grow my hair out?
A: You need to have at least 3-4 weeks of undisturbed hair growth. This is because hair growth occurs in three different stages. It takes 3-4 weeks for the shortest hairs to be long enough to be removed. If you have less than 3-4 weeks growth then your waxing won't be as smooth as you'd like it and your results won’t be as long lasting.
Q: How long is too long for hair to be when getting a Brazilian?
A: If your hair is more than 1" long, especially along the "lip" area, then it needs to be trimmed down to at least 3/4-1" with clippers with a guard. Please do all your trimming at home as we do not provide this service at our facility. Otherwise, if you hair is too long, the experience is very messy and a lot more painful than it ordinarily would be.
Q: What is the pain factor for a Brazilian (does it hurt)?
A: The fear of the pain is usually the greatest concern for most people who have never had a Brazilian wax. The truth is that most people who go ahead and get it done say that it wasn’t as bad as what they had imagined. The level of discomfort you experience will vary depending on your pain threshold, your hair length, whether or not it is your first time for a Brazilian wax, the type of wax used (quality hard wax is best – what we use), the waxing technique used, and the experience of your esthetician. Just a tip: You may take an extra strength pain reliever about 30 minutes prior to your appointment to help take the edge off. Bottom line: It’s not as bad as you think and we talk you through the whole thing and before you know it you’re done.
Q: Will I be red, itchy or breakout after a waxing?
A: It depends on each individual and how sensitive they are to the procedure. Redness is very
common but goes down within 24 hours, usually no itchiness.
Q: What can I put on my skin to eliminate the rashiness or ingrowns?
A: For a rashy sensitive skin the best things are either cortisone over the counter is fine or A&D Ointment...yes the baby diaper rash ointment, if it can get rid of a diaper rash you should see how it works after waxing! For Ingrown hairs, the best thing is exfoliating the area gently every day in the shower with our Pevonia Body Scrub which we retail at the spa.
Q: When should I come back for my next Brazilian?
A: At least 4-6 weeks, that is about the normal time for regrowth and if you go past that it will be like having it done for the first time again but if you keep up on the maintenance the hair comes out easier and it's less painful.
Q: Should I be aware of what to do or not to do after a Brazilian?
A: No chlorine, no working out and sweating hard, or tanning for 24 hours since the area is so sensitive it is best not to bring on any irritation. So for those special getaways or romantic nights it's best to wax 24 hours before hand.
Q: Times to avoid getting a Brazilian?
A: Before your monthly cycle is not the best time to get a Brazilian wax since the whole body is sensitive. The best time, if you can work it out right, will be after your monthly cycle up to 7 days before. Remember that caffeine is a stimulant as well so if it's fresh in your system it can add to the ouch factor. Tylenol or an extra strength pain reliever is fine to take up to 30 minutes before your appointment.
Q: How long does it take to have a Brazilian done?
A: For those of us who have been doing this a while it takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes depending on your hair and how much there is to wax and the coarseness. We allow 30 minutes for all Brazilians just so you don't feel rushed.
Q: How sanitary is the Brazilian Waxing process?
A: Your Esthetician will use multiple sticks for waxing that area, once the hair near the "lip" area is being waxed the stick should only be used one time then thrown away, also if any blood comes to the surface which can happen with coarser hair, then the stick should also be thrown away. Gloves should be worn at all times and the tweezers should come out of a sterilizing tray full of alcohol or an airtight container of implements that have already been sanitized.
