Brazilian & Bikini Waxing FAQ

Does bikini or Brazilian bikini waxing hurt?
The majority of clients say the waxing process isn't as discomforting as they anticipated. Your first bikini or Brazilian wax hurts more than any other time because coarse hairs are being pulled out of the hair follicles for the first time. Various techniques are used to provide the least amount of discomfort for you. It is best to refrain from getting a wax prior to or during your menstruation cycle, as your skin is much more sensitive to discomfort.

How long should my hairs be, or how long should I let my hair grow?
If you normally shave, allow seven to ten days of hair growth in your bikini region. For best results, allow ten days of hair growth.

Are there pre/post care instructions I should know about?
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds 24-48 hours before and after getting waxed. Certain antibiotics, oral or topical medications may cause you to be sensitive to waxing. You will experience temporary redness and bumps immediately after waxing that may last two days, depending upon your sensitivity level. We will apply a post-application product to soothe the area and offer suggestions for home-care products to give you the best results of your wax.

How long does the hair stay gone?
Depending on your hair growth, the area being waxed can stay completely free of hair anywhere from seven to 14 days. You may start to see sparse hairs come to the surface, however, in four to six weeks, the hair re-growth is usually one-fourth to one-half. Results vary with each individual.

How often should I return for a bikini or Brazilian wax?
It is ideal to receive your waxes every four to six weeks. Each time you wax, hair growth is sparse, thinner, and finer, which makes the hair removal process a lot less discomforting.

Will I experience itching with hair growth?
Unlike shaving, you should not experience itching because of thin, fine, and sparse hair growth.

What if I am shy and extremely nervous?
It is normal to be nervous, however, our wax professionals are thoroughly trained and experienced in hair removal and perform this service with discreet, modest techniques. Your bikini region is never completely exposed, and you are never put in awkward, uncomfortable positions for hair removal.

How much time should I allow to receive a wax?
We schedule 15-30 minute appointments based on the service you choose. A bikini or Brazilian bikini wax may take anywhere from 10-25 minutes depending on the amount of hair growth you have.

Will I experience in-grown hairs?
You may or may not experience in-grown hairs. We recommend antibacterial products to keep the hair follicle free of bacteria and regular exfoliation methods to prevent dead skin cells from trapping hair re-growth. Some women are more prone to receiving in-grown hairs based on their hair type, and preventative maintenance will assist you in receiving best results.

Can I receive a bikini or Brazilian wax while on my menstrual cycle?
Yes. You may experience more discomfort because the skin is more sensitive during this time.

Can I receive a bikini or Brazilian wax if I am pregnant?
Check with your physician first. We will wax you, however, your skin may be more sensitive during your pregnancy.
