Question 1

What should I do before waxing?

Accepted Answer

Exfoliating at least 24 hours ahead of your appointment and showering just before your appointment is recommended.

Question 2

What are the benefits of waxing?

Accepted Answer

Waxing removes hair from the root, compared to hair removal products like Nair and practices like shaving, which only remove hair from the skin’s surface.   Also, with waxing, hair typically grows back thinner and sparser.

Question 3

How long does my hair need to be waxed?

Accepted Answer

Your hair must be 1/4 inch long for effective waxing. If the hair is too short, it will be difficult to remove.   However, if your hair is longer than 1/4 inch, you may experience more discomfort during the waxing treatment.   If you decide to shave, do it at least 7-10 days before your waxing appointment.

Question 4

What is the difference between a standard bikini wax and a Brazilian bikini wax

Accepted Answer

A standard bikini wax removes all of the hair from your bikini area that would be visible if you were wearing a standard bikini.    An extended bikini wax moves downward and inward from a standard bikini.   Brazilian waxing is the most intimate of all waxing services and removes all of the hair in the bikini area and all hair from your backside as well.   Some clients prefer to leave a small amount behind and others prefer to go completely bare, the decision is entirely up to you.
