LET'S TALK BRAZILIAN WAX
Common brazilian wax questions answered
HOW PAINFUL IS IT?
Everyone's experience is different. I do what I can to ease discomfort, though. My application and technique, for one. Applying pressure after removal helps a ton! I also use a gentle hard wax and I am great at distracting you with conversation. :)
WHAT IF I AM ON MY PERIOD? IS THAT GROSS FOR YOU?
Not gross! I will never turn away someone that comes in on their period. It's a personal choice of yours if you feel comfortable enough, and if you are, then I am! All I ask is for you to come in wearing a fresh tampon or menstrual cup. I always have wipes and tampons on hand if you need to freshen up. Just ask!
CAN YOU GET A BRAZILIAN WAX WHILE PREGNANT?
Yes, it is generally safe for both mama and baby. Your skin may feel a bit more tender than usual after and you could be more sensitive during. The cool thing is that you can also wax right up until your due date! I have tons of experience waxing pregnant women. I do my best to make your experience comfortable with extra time if needed. I got you, Mama!
HOW CAN I BEST PREPARE FOR A BRAZILIAN WAX?
*Allow your hair to grow 2-3 weeks post shaving. Ideally, your hair should be 1/4 inch long. The longer, the better the results.
*No use of moisturizer or body oils on the day of your waxing. These products will interfere with your waxing service.
*Gently exfoliate the area on or before the day of your appointment.
*If you are concerned about the discomfort of your service, I suggest taking a mild form of pain reliever such as Tylenol or Aleve 30 minutes prior to your appointment.
*Plan to wear loose fitted bottoms so you're comfortable going about your day.
*I offer a post soothing cream to help reduce any redness and/or tenderness you may experience after your service.
*Above all else, relax! I've been waxing for 6 years and have done thousands of brazilians. I love what I do and waxing is kind of my thing. ;)
*also, ask questions! no question is too silly or embarrassing. I am fully engaged with you.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER MY WAX?
DURING-
Once you are in my treatment room, I will explain to you how to get situated on my table. I offer an individually wrapped wipe to freshen up with and because I respect your privacy, I will step out for a couple minutes to allow you time to do so. When I enter back in I will ask questions pertaining to you about medications that might interfere with your service/waxing experience/and what questions you may have before we start (consultation)
from there I will walk you through the process and check in with you concerning your comfort. I'm really good at hyping you up to get through it. You've got this!
AFTER-
After your service is complete, I will explain aftercare to you and ask if you have any questions. I highly suggest you book out for your next appointment to maintain your waxing to achieve the best results possible, which I recommend every 4-5 weeks. Then, you can expect longer lasting and smoother results with consistent waxing.

WHAT PRE AND POST PRODUCTS DO YOU USE AND RECOMMEND?
I use and recommend Fur professional skincare products. They have been designed specifically for pre and post waxing, created by Estheticians and what I personally use on myself. They are effective and made with quality ingredients. *Available for purchase in house.
