FAQ Waxing

HOW MUCH DOES IT HURT?

Depending on your skin type, (sensitive skin, thick hair etc) you may experience some discomfort. Having said that, we find that most men and women find it over before they know it, and are surprised at how painless the Brazilian really is! Our therapists have a few techniques to minimise the pain.

If you have been shaving or trimming for a long period of time, you may experience some spot bleeding from the hair follicle straight after waxing. This is because the roots of the hair follicle are old and very strong. Continuous removal of the hair will make it sparse and the spot bleeding will stop. This only occurs the first time as you may have naturally thick or course hair. The more you wax the less it will hurt!

Note: we recommend that if women are having a Brazilian not to have it the day before the menstrual cycle, as the body is much more sensitive during this period of time.

CAN I HAVE A BRAZILIAN WAX WHEN I AM ON MY PERIOD?

"You sure can! We suggest a freshly changed tampon before going in for your treatment. You can use our rest room and sanitary facilities to freshen up."

CAN I WAX WHILE I AM PREGNANT?

"Absolutely! Our therapists are well trained to keep you in the most comfortable positions whilst being waxed. Put it this way, the midwives will thank you for it."
Note: we do triple 000 waxing if needed!

DO I HAVE TO WEAR MY UNDERWEAR DURING TREATMENT?

You are welcome to wear your underwear if you are having a bikini or bikini G string.  We can also supply you with a disposable paper G. String. If you are having a Brazilian wax, we require you to remove your underwear for a much better result.

PICK YOUR MODESTY BACK UP AS YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR!!! REMEMBER WE DO THIS ALL DAY LONG!!!!

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

After your first wax, the results can last from 4 weeks to 7 weeks, depending on the season. Hair grows a lot faster in warmer weather. Continuous waxing helps the hair to become sparse.

HOW LONG DOES MY HAIR HAVE TO BE BEFORE MY WAX?

For great results the hair should be 1cm – 2 cm in length. Do not shave 2 weeks prior to your waxing treatment.

WHAT IS HOT WAX?

Hot wax is a thicker wax that is spread evenly over the area. Once it has cooled and hardened, the therapist will remove it in one fast smooth motion. This type of wax is usually used on the most sensitive areas of the body. Eg. Genital, underarm, face and chest area.

WHAT IS STRIP WAX?

Strip wax is a much thinner type of wax, like the consistency of honey. It is spread on the area very thinly and is removed with a thin woven cloth. Areas such as legs, arms and back work best with this wax.
