Frequently Asked Questions

Please click on any of the below questions for the answer.

Q: How long does my hair have to be to get waxed?

A: For body hair at least half a centermeter of growth is recommended. Particularily if you have previously shaved. Facial hair requires less length, but for best results three weeks between facial hair waxing is recommended.

Q: My pubic hair is quite long. Should I trim it before coming in to be waxed?

A: If it is more than a few centermeters you can give it a light trim. Just make sure you dont accidentaly make some patches too short. Try to leave it about an inch long.

Q: Why do people get brazillians?

A: Because it feels so good being smooth down there! Many clients comment that it feels much more hygienic too. Like the difference between having hairy or smooth armpits.

Q: Does your brazillian include the bum crack being waxed?

A: Yes it does. Unless madame [or sir] would prefer an arse mullet!

Q: I am getting a brazillian for the first time. What do I need to do?

A: Nothing! Just wear/bring in an old pair of G-strings or stretchy knickers, as we use them to help support the skin while waxing. If you don't have anything suitable or you forget we can provide you with a disposable G-string.

Q: If I leave a strip or triangle of hair at the top, is it still a Brazillian?

A: Yes it is. Many people like hair left at the top of the pubic area with it all off underneath. If you would like a thin strip of hair left going all the way down and over the labia, that is a G-string wax.

Q: How often should I wax?

A: Once a month is the average. Some people with slower growth leave it up to six weeks.

Q: Can I excercise immediatly after waxing?

A: Excess sweating is not a good idea immediatly before or after waxing. Particulary in the tropics.

Q: Do you use warm/soft wax or strip wax?

A: Both. We use warm wax for facial, underarm and pubic areas, and strip wax for everything else. Sometimes we use strip as a tidy up wax on the top part of the bikini area.

Q: How long will it take to get a brazillian wax?

A: Our brazillans usually take about twenty minutes on average, but times do vary depending on the hair growth.

Q: Will it hurt much?

A: The first time hair is removed by the root it usually does hurt a little. If repeated a month later the discomfort is minimal as the root of the hair has not had the chance to fully regrow.

Q: How can I prevent ingrown hairs?

A: Exfoliating the skin with a brush or a loofa is always important. As is moisturizing if the skin is dry. If ingrowns still occour, we do stock and are able to recommend an ingrown hair treatment to suit your needs.
