In the area where you intend to wax, your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch. That’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes about 2 weeks of not shaving (bikini area) for hair to grow to this length. Shorter hair is not long enough to get “stuck” in the wax and be pulled out.

This is a tricky question to answer as everyone is a little different. On average most of my clients are "smooth" for a week. Then you will feel some random hair popping through 1-2 weeks after your appointment. Most people are ready to wax again at about 5 weeks for bikini/brazilian, 5 weeks for backs, 3-4 weeks for legs (lower) and underarms. These are generalizations/estimates. It depends on how long you have been waxing, how many active hair follicles you have, your after care, whether or not you’re shaving in between, the texture of your hair, and how fast it grows, etc. What I can tell you is that you will notice a reduction in active hair follicles/growth every time you come in. The area will be less dense and hair will feel thinner and downy.

There are many culprits! Improper technique, tight clothing, sweat/oils/bacteria getting into the follicle, synthetic materials (such as lace, spandex, nylon), friction, dead skin, dry skin, and not following proper aftercare protocol. Unfortunately, some people are just prone to these also. If you are having problems with ingrown hair, please let me know and I can help you reduce them.

Different regions/countries have different ideas about what a Brazilian is. My Brazilian includes your pubic hair in the front, the inner thigh bikini line, and the hair between the cheeks (around your anus). If you’d like to leave a strip or triangle on the front pelvic area, that’s fine too. You don’t have to do “the back” if you don’t want to either but, I will let you know that it’s not as uncomfortable as the front. This is obviously a very intimate, personal service and I do not expect you to do anything you don’t want to. It’s your body!! Whatever hair you do or don’t want is up to you and I’m not going to make you do anything you don’t feel uncomfortable with.

I schedule your Brazilian wax for 15 minutes. (I've been waxing for 15+ years, lots of practice). The actual hair removal portion of the service is usually around 5-7 minutes. I have been time LOL! Almost all of my waxing services take 15-30 minutes or less. Please understand that being over 10 minutes late may mean that we need to reschedule.
