WOMENS BRAZILIANS
Women's Brazilian Bikini Wax
 

Brazilian bikini waxes have been 'all the rage' since the late 90's, but they're certainly not new the US. Brazilian waxing was introduced to New York in 1987 by seven Brazilian-born sisters.

So how does it differ from a regular bikini wax? Basically, with the Brazilian, hair is removed in the front, back & everything in between
Time Required: 15-30 minutes
Treatment costs: anywhere from $75 to $125 dollars or more. The first treatment will be up to $125 and if you keep up monthly you will have a discounted amount to pay.
Here's how it works:
1. Waxing occurs in a private room. You remove your pants & underwear & lie on a table with clean paper or sheets.
2. Because you only need about a quarter-inch of hair for the wax to grab onto, we may start by trimming your pubic hair to the right length.
3. We will dip a waxing stick into a pot of hot wax & then spread it onto your skin & hair. Hair and wax adhere to one another. When the wax has cooled, we will pull the strip off, in the opposite direction of your hair growth, pulling the hairs out by the root.
4. Waxing usually starts in the front & moves toward the back. You'll likely have to move around in all sorts of odd positions in order for the Aesthetician to do her job.
5. Once the waxing is over, we will spread soothing lotion over the waxed areas. You should ask what to do in case of bumps, redness or ingrown hairs. We are trained in this and can help you with a product choice.
Tips:
1. The procedure, like any waxing, can be very painful at first, but frequent visits usually cut down on the pain factor. I suggest taking a couple Advil at least 15 minutes before your procedure. As for the embarrassment factor -- we like to think getting a Brazilian can't be any more embarrassing than a typical visit to your gynecologist's office. These aestheticians have seen it all before.
2. The downside of a Brazilian wax... while it lasts as much as 3 weeks, the hair will grow back & you'll have to do it again.
3. Another downside... hair has to be a certain length before it can successfully waxed.
