Frequently asked questions

A Brazilian wax is an extreme bikini wax: all the hair from the pubic region (including the labia,between the butt cheeks and tail bone area) is removed, and most of (or all) of the hair on the front of the pubic bone,right up to the belly button.

There are a few reasons that women get brazilian waxing. In our western culture it is common for females to remove body hair.Brazilian waxing is considered very normal in todays modern society and not at all shocking or rude.A huge benefit of Brazilian waxing is for hygiene and comfort.And there are intimate reasons for removing the pubic hair-it makes the area incredibly smooth,more sensitive and visually appealing.

Your first Brazilian wax will be the most painful as there’s the most hair, and there is some discomfort every time you have a wax.The good news is that the pain is short and sharp,and by the time the waxing is complete the discomfort is gone.Interestingly it is not painful to wax between the butt cheeks! If you’re worried about pain we suggest you take a painkiller an hour or so before your appointment.Also,waxing a couple of days before your period could be more painful than usual.

We require you to wear disposable underwear during your brazilian. This not only decreases the embarrasment factor but acts as a barrier to getting wax where we dont want it.In some other waxing places they still make you kneel on all fours, or wrap your legs round the beautician’s neck, but we’ve got a far less embarrassing technique that is 100% effective.Remember,Nicole has been doing this for many years and chooses to do it because she wants to do it and is incredibly good at it.And quite simply,you don’t have anything she hasn’t seen before!

The terms are often used inter-changeably,but technically a Hollywood wax leaves the whole area bare,while a Brazilian wax leaves a small,vertical strip – often referred to as a‘landing strip’.We’ll discuss which style you’d like before your first wax.

A Gstring wax removes hair that might be visible when you wear a gstring.We start by doing a bikini wax that is narrower than usual then remove all the hairs from between the butt cheeks and tail bone area.

The first baby hairs will start emerging after a week and at 4-6 weeks there will be enough mature hairs to wax again.We recommend that you are waxed at 6-week intervals.This will make the waxing procedure a lot quicker,and significantly less painful!If you get waxed again too soon (less than 4 weeks) there will not be enough hairs emerged and your brazilian will not last as long.

Possibly,some people are more prone to ingrown hairs than other.The coarser the hair,the more key it is you will get some ingrowns.To minimise ingrown hairs we recommend exfoliating the area regualy starting a week after waxing,and applying Bump Eraiser Medi Paste daily,available at Beautyfixx.
