Tips for waxing!
- For any bikini waxing service, the hair should be approximately 1-2 cm long. This is the ideal length for the wax to stick and the hair to come out nice and easy! So grow it out if it’s too short or grab the clippers and do a little trimming if it’s too long!
- Make sure you are not on any Vitamin D medications such as; Retin-A, Renova, Isoretionin, Differin, Accutane or other acne medications. THESE MEDIATIONS WEAKEN THE SKIN AND MAY CAUSE IT TO TEAR. Or that you do not have any active STD's.
- Curious about cleanliness before your apt? Just ride your bike here or take a dance class?! Not, to worry - we've got individual SweetSpot Wipettes for you to use to freshen up before your Brazilian services! Sweet Spot's are Ph balanced wipes specifically designed for a woman's 'sweet spot' and the entire Sweet Spot line of spritzes, washes and wipes are available at the shop!
- Exfoliating the night before helps for sure, so pick up some scrub or a bikini brush from The Ten Spot and get buffing!
- TendSkin is the ultimate in ingrown hair removal but it’s also recommended to apply 1 hour before waxing, as it loosens the hairs so that they come out easier! Then be sure to stock up for ongoing ingrown maintenance!
- We sell numbing crème at the shop so be sure to stop by the shop and pick some up. If you forget, rumor has it taking some Advil/Tylenol might take the edge off.
FAQ
- Can I get waxed when I have my period?
Yeppers. It's not a problem, however, we do require guests to wear a tampon when you are on your cycle. Just tuck in the string or cut it short! - I'm Preggers, is it safe to get a Brazilly?
Sure thing, as long as it's ok with your doctor, it is not a issue. Sometimes the size of the tummy can make the procedure a bit more uncomfortable for some people, but we work around your comfort level. While your primping for the birthday, get your toes done and really be sweet to your Doc! - Is the Bikini area itchy when the hair grows back?
'N' to the 'O'. Waxed hair grows in thinner and softer - including underarm hair. It's only when you shave that you get the itching, prickles and dark stubble. Women of the world - get your underarms waxed. Totally doesn't hurt and you will be forever thankful!. - How long does a person stay smooth after a Brazilian Wax?
This depends on the person. Everyones hair growth cycle is different, but on average most people stay smooth from between 1-3 weeks. Hair grows in stages and in each shaft three hairs can grow at different rates, that's way you get bettter results the longer you wait so that the most hair is sprouted.You will, however, notice that after a few Brazilian Bikini Waxes, your hair will start to grow in much finer and you will also notice that your hair will start to grow back a lot slower -AKA no stuble, itching and prickles! - Can I get a facial waxing the same day I have had a facial?
Its not recommended to wax your face if you have just had a facial. Some skin is highly sensitive and every facial includes exfoliation. Waxing also is an exfoliating process and combining the two can cause skin to get irritated and can peel. In some cases I can do a brow wax after a facial, but its not recommended. - After waxing, how long does the redness last?
Redness and sometimes a little swelling may be expected to last for a maximum of 24 hours. Any more then that is not normal and you may be very sensitive to wax.
