Frequently asked questions
About Brazilian bikini waxing
What is a Brazilian bikini wax?

 Brazilian waxing refers to removing all the hair from the bikini area, and to others it means removing everything but a strip in the front. The Brazilian technique has gained in popularity and involves removal of most hair from the bikini area, leaving only a small strip of hair.

 This is a very intimate type of waxing and will only be performed after careful consultation. How closely you trim, shave or wax your hair is a personal preference. You should do whatever makes you comfortable, whether it's a bare look, a more natural look, or something in between.

Why go to this extreme?

 It allows women to comfortably wear revealing swimwear and lingerie.

Can a man get a Brazilian bikini wax?

 Many men are waxing rather than shaving to achieve a smooth genital region. Yes, men can get either a standard bikini wax or a Brazilian bikini wax.

How long will the results last?

 After a client's first waxing, the results can last 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual's hair re-growth rate.  In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week. Heat stimulates hair growth, therefore hair grows quicker in the summer than in the winter. With regular waxing the length of time between treatments will increase.  Continued waxing results in sparse hair re-growth.

What do I wear during this waxing?

 If you are comfortable, the Brazilian wax will be done without any draping. A towel will be available for draping if you prefer.

How long does Brazilian bikini waxing take?

 Depending on the density of the hair growth, your waxing appointment will take between 20 and 35 minutes

 Please follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and possible breakouts.

1. Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and please wear sunscreen; recently waxed areas are prone to hyper pigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.
2. Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after waxing.
3. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 48 hours.
4. Do not use exfoliating products (AHAs, scrubs, etc) and loofas for at least 24 hours after waxing as they might further irritate your skin.
5. Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
6. Regular exfoliation may be helpful to remove dead skin so your hairs can get out above the surface of the pores and not become ingrown.
7. Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation.

Unfortunately, no hot bath, hot shower or oral sex for 10 hours after a Brazilian. While your pores are open, they are vulnerable to irritation by the extreme temperatures and infection by bacteria.
