COMMON WAXING QUESTIONS and GUIDELINES
What is a Brazilian Wax?
It is a popular service offered in a professional environment by Estheticians that have been trained with advanced waxing methods.
This intimate waxing service is very popular for all genders, all ages, ethnic background and/or sexual orientation. Clients often travel many miles away to find a therapist willing and able to provide a great and a safe waxing experience.
All pubic hair can be removed from the bikini area, including labia, groin, penis, scrotum and anus area (in-between buttocks). But it can be customized to exactly what you need, so don't hesitate to tell us.
Waxing is a great way to reduce unwanted hair and have a smooth skin for weeks. Within two waxing sessions you’ll experience great results; the unwanted hair grows back finer and sparser and it will be way less uncomfortable than the 1st time. Any possible irritations you might experience the first time by the second visit you’ll notice a huge difference.
How should I prepare?
If this is your first time waxing before you attend a special event or go on vacation, we recommend you to schedule a waxing service five to six weeks before your special event and see how your skin reacts. If everything is fine, schedule your next wax a day or two before your event.
Leave your hair as long as possible before waxing (1/4 inch or longer). The longer the hair, the easier it is to grab. If your Esthetician feels that trimming is needed, she will do so during your appointment.
In the days leading up to your appointment, be sure to exfoliate the body areas we are waxing. You can use a dry brush (on a dry skin) or a loofah sponge (in the shower), against the hair growth to lightly exfoliate the skin. Exfoliated skin means faster service, less irritation and less hair breakage.
For clients with testicles: starting today, apply a moisturizing lotion or coconut oil until the day before your appointment, since the skin on testicles can be very dry. Don’t apply any lotions on the day of your appointment.
Bring a clean underwear to wear after your Brazilian or Bikini wax, to prevent bacterial reactions. Please come fresh and clean. Don't plan to visit the gym, go for a run or get in a jacuzzi after your wax either. You skin will be sensitive; any additional friction or heat will make you more prone to a reaction. But don’t worry! We will share with you exactly what you need to do and give you specific recommendations to eliminate as much as possible such reactions.
For your own comfort we suggest to take an ibuprofen one hour before your appointment (as long as it doesn't contradict your physician’s instructions) and avoid alcohol (it will hurt way more!).
Is it embarrassing to get waxed?
Not to us; that's what we do all day. It can be a little uncomfortable to be fully exposed, but remember we are here to get the area cleaned and waxed. We aim to make all of our customers feel as comfortable as possible and we understand that you may be feeling nervous. Most clients feel very comfortable after their first session.
If at any time you are too uncomfortable to endure the wax, you must let your Esthetician know, you won't hurt our feelings and we won't get offended! However, the results definitely outweigh the discomfort you will feel on your first time. The second time your experience will be completely different; almost painless, much less hair growth and less skin irritations!
Will it be sore afterwards?
The area might be sore after but we apply products that help take any redness/soreness away. It is not uncommon for red pimples to appear after waxing or small whiteheads, especially if it's your first wax. These symptoms should subside within 1-3 days with the proper after care products that you will receive.
After care guidelines, product recommendations and a few FREE products will be provided at the end of the treatment, if your skin needs it.
Reactions and what to do:
The treated area (usually the bikini area, back and chest) is generally a little red and sensitive for the first 1-2 days and you might experience a mild breakout, small red bumps and/or whiteheads may appear within the first few days. These are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. Best products to use would be tea tree and an antibacterial body wash. Our PFB roller, is an excellent choice and can also be used to treat any razor bumps in the beard area. We will talk about all of that during the session and you will understand exactly what you’ll need to do.
The red bumps seen after a wax are due to follicular inflammation. When a hair is pulled out from the follicle, it becomes slightly swollen and inflamed. This usually calms down by itself, but for some unlucky few this can result in little whiteheads. These whiteheads are formed when the normal bacteria on the skin go down into these inflamed follicular openings and cause tiny little infections. We recommend that you use an antibacterial acne wash and a product that contains salicylic acid; they will help to kill the bacteria faster and dry out any breakouts.
Otherwise the skin is left feeling smooth, clean and fresh. Every skin is different and depending on how thick the hair roots are, every client will have a different experience and results. We won’t know till we try! What we do know is that your skin won't react after that initial first wax, the results worth the discomfort you might experience, and you will love the results!
Policies and Spa Etiquette:
Customers are advised, any inappropriate behavior or language will not be tolerated.
We reserve the right to decline a service to anyone at any time and for any reason.

Post-Wax Advice. What do I need to do after waxing?
What you should avoid for the next 24-48 hrs:
no hot tubs, steam rooms, hot showers (washing with cool or lukewarm water is best)
no sunbathing, sunbeds or swimming (pool or ocean)
no gym - don’t go work out, run, yoga or other exercise
no tight clothing that might cause excessive skin rubbing/friction
avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands
no sex (yep that’s right, we said it, no sex – sorry) after a Brazilian, back or chest wax, until you know how your skin reacts. While your follicles are open, they are vulnerable to irritation and infection by bacteria
If you had thick roots or follicle bleeding, you will be more prone to breakouts a few days after your waxing service. Keep the area dry and free of sweat for 2-3 days after the service
To soothe and protect the skin, apply the recommended products by your wax expert.
Do NOT shave or trim the hair we waxed. This will re-stimulate the hair growth, makes the hair roots thick again leading to the same experience like your 1st time. Once your skin calms down and you like how your skin feels, try to only wax for a few appointments without shaving and you will absolutely love the results!
The results can last between 2-3 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Within 2-3 appointments you'll notice much less hair growth, plus the hair will grow back softer and finer.
We recommend waxing every 4-5 weeks, especially if you're a beginner to wax.
