Over the last few years, waxing has become more and more popular. Whether it's eyebrows, upper lip or, well, some place more intimate, many people are choosing waxing for long lasting results. For those who have never experienced a waxing before, or maybe had a not so great experience, it can be daunting. It's important to have your waxing done only by licensed professionals and here at WM, we pride ourselves in our clean, fast and accurate waxing services. We're here to give you the "low-down" on all there is to waxing!
The Basic Bikini wax we offer removes hair that is outside of the panty line - basically the area that might be shown when wearing a swimsuit. This wax is great for someone new to waxing, since it's a fast process with less pain compared to other bikini waxes.
The French Bikini Wax takes most of the hair from the front, leaving just a vertical strip. This waxing lets you wear a bikini or other small undergarments because more hair is removed than the Traditional Bikini Waxing.
This procedure normally involves complete removal of all hair in the bikini area, front to back. It is named after Brazil, the country where the modern practice originated. Most of the time, you can leave your underwear on during a standard Bikini Wax, but for a Brazilian, you'll have to be sans panties..
So, why a Brazilian? Most of our guests want it for cleanliness, convenience and of course, sexiness!
Here at WM, it's a fast experience. Most of our experienced Estheticians can get you in and out in 15-30 minutes.
For the results you get, it's worth the cost. The hair follicle is pulled out by the root, so over time, it is discouraged from re-growing, and the hair can become softer and less dense.
It's a professional service and feels like pampering. Our heated beds, spa music and clean atmosphere allow for a completely relaxing experience.
Sanitation is at the forefront of our minds, and we under no circumstance "Double-Dip."
It's not as uncomfortable as you think! Most people who receive the Brazilian wax continue on a regular basis and see about a 50% reduction in growth after only 5 to 6 visits!
We do not recommend getting a wax when you are menstruating, as sensitivity is usually increased at this time. Alcohol and caffeine can also heighten sensitivity.
If you're worried about pain we recommend that you take an Ibuprofen an hour before your appointment to help cut down on pain.
Body hair should be the right length. If it is too long the Esthetician will probably have to trim it. If it is too short it may be hard or even impossible to remove. The recommended length is 1/4 of an inch. (We say about 2 weeks without shaving)
Avoid swimming, tanning or sun exposure, and chemical peels 48 hours prior to the service.
Shower and gently exfoliate the area the day of the waxing.
Skip any lotions, oils or deodorants you'd normally apply to the area on the day of your appointment.
For body waxing, wear comfortable clothing which will allow the skin to breathe.
Let your esthetician know if you're using Retinoids, Accutane or have had recent skin treatments in the area being waxed.
Avoid exfoliating, hot tubs or baths, steam, excessive sweating or sex (for Bikini waxes) for at least 24 hours.
Avoid tanning or direct sun exposure for 48 hours, as waxed skin is more sensitive and prone to pigmentation.
Replace any scented lotions or oils with a calming oil or lotion to reduce redness and bumps.
After the tenderness has subsided, exfoliate 2-3 times per week to remove dead skin cells, preventing ingrown hairs. To take home with you, we recommend BushBalm's Ingrown Hair Prevention products, they are a girls best friend!
