Q: What is the difference between all of your
bikini waxing procedures?
A: We offer quite a few different
bikini waxes to meet all our female clients' needs! So here are some quick
explanations of exactly what the differences are:
Classic Bikini-This is a bikini wax that removes the hair on your bikini
line. Anything that grows past your hip-line, or underwear line will be waxed.
Anything more will be extra, or you can look into getting the French bikini!
French Bikini- This bikini wax is
designed for those who want to do a little more, but not too much! This waxing
goes in a little farther than the classic bikini wax. Also, we remove a little
off the top of your hair line and on the part of your tush that shows when
wearing a bikini. If you enjoy sitting Indian-style on the beach, this is your
bikini wax!
Playboy Bikini-For anyone wanting it all gone, but not wanting to look
too youthful, this bikini is perfect. Everything is waxed front to back, but a
strip is left straight down the middle. This was given its name because it is
the most popular bikini wax among those sexy playboy bunnies!
Brazilian Bikini- This bikini leaves
you bald, literally! Everything is waxed front to back. Some wonder how this is
done, so let’s explain! Our clients will be on our treatment bed nude from the
waist down. The Brazilian wax starts as a regular bikini, cleaning up the sides, and
going in and down, little by little. Getting your rear end waxed is up to you,
but it is included! For the tush, our clients simply pull their knees to their chest
and the tush is waxed fast and modestly. The Brazilian Bikini Wax is our most popular waxing procedure!
Q: How long do I have to wait before my
first wax?
A: To get the best waxing results, we need
your hair to be at least one-fourth of an inch long. This is an average of 2
weeks of growth. Yes, it seems like a long time to grow, but it's worth the waxing results!
Q:
I got my eyebrows waxed once and
some skin came off, why is that?
A: There can be several reasons for
this. If you are using skin care products that contain salicylic acid, glycolic
acid or alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) of any kind, these can cause the skin to lift
while waxing. Another cause is aggressive exfoliation such as microdermabrasion
or chemical peels. Prescription medication such as antibiotics, accutane,
retin-a, renova, strivectin, proactive and avage can cause thinning of the skin
which results in lifting during waxing. My recommendation is that if you are
unsure about what you are using, just ask. But it is still difficult to predict
how every skin type will react no matter how many precautions are taken.
Q:
What is the difference between getting waxed here or just going to the Nail Salon?
A: There are MANY reasons that a person should avoid getting waxed at a nail salon, but simply ask yourself a few questions about your waxing experience there:
1. Did they ask you to fill out any information about your skin or any products you are using that might contraindicate waxing procedures?
2. Do they double dip their sticks into a wax pot (if they use a wax pot)?
3. Do they use a "roller wax" that rolls over your skin and dispenses wax? How many other people do you think they have rolled that same "roller wax" on? YUCK!
4. Do you know that "waxing" falls under SKIN CARE and not NAIL CARE?
Getting waxed at a nail salon is a poor way of taking care of your skin. It may be quicker or cheaper, but keep in mind your skin and your health are wit you for the rest of your life. Treat it with the utmost respect and safety.
Q: Is there anything I should do to
prepare for waxing and to be comfortable?
A: Yes! There are a few options. I
always recommend ibuprofen at least 20 minutes before your waxing service, as
long as this does not contradict what your doctor has told you. If you are a
female client, schedule your waxing service the first 2 weeks after your cycle.
Your sensitivity level is a lot less during this time. Avoid caffeine and
alcohol as these can stimulate, making you more sensitive and increase redness
after waxing. Pregnancy also increases sensitivity.
Q: How long will my skin stay red?
A:It depends on the person and the
skin type. For most people the redness is mostly gone after 30 minutes to an
hour. Avoid perfumes, scrubs and other irritants the day of your service. For
brides or if you are going to a special occasion, I recommend waxing a month
before to see how your skin reacts. If everything is fine, schedule another wax
a day or two before your event.
