Quick Brazilian Wax Notes!
- Your hair needs to be AT LEAST 1/4 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice).
That is about 10 days growth after shaving. 2 weeks will be even better - If you are getting a wax for a special event or vacation book your appointment 2 to 4 days prior to your event. This will give you the best results.

Your hair will need to be at least 1/4 inch long. This is at least 10 days of growth after shaving. 2 weeks is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and preferable. This will assure you a great waxing service and will be more comfortable.
- Throughout the past few years people are trying to get fancy with their names. Not everyone does the waxing the same.
- Some salons offer a Brazilian Wax but only remove the hair from the outside like a deep Bikini Wax. Others that perform Brazilians don’t wax the bum. It’s hard to know what you are going to get when you go to a salon.
- At Professional Skin we offer 1 type of Brazilian Wax. The whole enchilada! Front to back, side to side and everything in-between. If you want to leave a strip we can do that but for the most part everyone wants it all off! That’s our Brazilian. No worries when you come here.
Does Getting A Brazilian Wax Hurt?
The answer is NO! You might have scanned the internet and found crazy stories about Brazilian waxing. Not sure how many are true and how many are made up.
At Professional Skin I can tell you it does not hurt. It is however a little uncomfortable the second the hair is removed. That is it. We specialize in Brazilians and we are as comfortable as it gets... so relax! You are in good hands.
All of our clients agree that the discomfort was not nearly as much as they thought. Most agree it was not bad at all, and ALL agree it was worth it not to have to shave anymore.

What sanitary measures do you take at your salon?
This is a great
question! Since we are
educators in waxing (especially Brazilian waxing) we are meticulous
when it comes to sanitation. Here are some of the precautions we
take and why:
- We never use the same applicator twice. Each and every time our waxing applicator touches your skin to apply the wax, it is thrown away. This is to avoid cross contamination.
- We ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
- We
always use sanitary bed coverings.
- We
use hospital grade sanitation for all our instruments like
tweezers.

What can I do to make my waxing more comfortable?
We have heard that clients receive a very comfortable service after they take 1 or 2 pain relievers 1 hour prior to their waxing service. You are more then welcome to try this if you like.
You can ask for our “numbing gel” to be applied if you are concerned. It will take the edge off your waxing. This is offered at no cost to you.

Does Brazilian waxing get easier?
YES!
We
understand that your first time getting waxed, especially a Brazilian,
can be a little nerve racking. We take extra time to explain what
we are doing and why. We also remove the hair is very small
strips to maximize your comfort.
How old do I need to be to get a Brazilian wax?
We
DO NOT perform Brazilian Waxing on anyone under the
age if 18. Sorry.
Why are you the only one in the area to offer this service?
You can certainly get your Brazilian wax done anywhere that will provide it, HOWEVER, there are a few things you should know. Most places do not offer Brazilian waxing for a good reason.
- It is much more difficult to perform then a simple leg or underarm.
- The hair grows in many different directions and can be VERY uncomfortable if removed incorrectly.
- Most estheticians are not formally trained in Brazilian waxing.
- Most have learned Brazilian Waxing from a video tape.
- They use the wrong wax, incorrect removal methods, unsanitary procedures and simply do not perform enough Brazilian Waxes to be good.
- They are more expensive.
Is it unhealthy to remove your pubic hair?
A
question we get
once in a while. The answer is NO! We don’t
know why we have
pubic hair! It does not keep us warm and
it does not protect us. It seems as
though the prevailing theory relates to pheromones — scents that the
body
produces that can be sexually stimulating to others. In
prehistoric days this might have been
useful but today serves no purpose at all!
Another theory is that it signals a person of the opposite sex that you are ready to take on a partner for reproduction. Once again, not very useful in today’s day and age. In short, all the research by the greatest minds in the world (pretty funny!) STILL cannot figure out why we have pubic hair. To date, we have not found any factual evidence that removing your pubic hair is unhealthy in any way.

I know this can be embarrassing. Over the years I have had many customers that have been coming to me for a long time finally get up the courage to ask if I can remove the hair around their nipples. Some have a lot and some have a little. Either way it needs to go! The easiest and fastest way is to wax them off.
- FREE when you are getting your Brazilian wax
- This is quick. Takes about 2 to 3 Minutes
- Totally painless. Hard to believe but it is. 100% Painless
- Special wax is used on this sensitive area
- We never wax directly on the areola
- All you need to do is ask.
Will a Brazilian Wax increase sensitivity?
Yes, dramatically. The difference is amazing. When you remove the hair you have many more sensors on the skin exposed. This greatly enhances the sensitivity of touch. I have many clients that tell me they notice a huge difference just wearing their panties. Not having any hair in the bikini area certainly has many advantages.
What do I wear during my Brazilian wax?
Disposable g-string’s are available for you to wear during your waxing. We do our best to preserve your modesty at all times and still give you a flawless waxing service! If you come in for just a bikini wax and not a Brazilian, you will always be given a disposable g-string.
Do I have to get in all kinds of wacky positions during my Brazilian waxing?
NO! We have many different ways to remove all the hair during your Brazilian wax. This will depend on your body type. You can be certain that you will not have to get in any wacky positions.
NOTE: We never ask you to flip over and get on all 4's. This is a practice done in most salons and we strongly disagree with this technique. It is embarrassing and quite frankly humiliating to the client.

Is there a certain time of the month that is better for me to get waxed?
YES! It is best to be in the center of your cycle. A few days before or after will make it a bit more sensitive for some girls. Most girls will not notice a difference.
You can STILL get waxed when you have your period as long as you use a tampon. Happens all the time and we are perfectly comfortable with that.

I'm shy, will I be able to get a Brazilian wax?
YES YOU CAN!
If
you're embarrassed about getting waxed, try to remember, we are
professionals. Please
keep in mind that what might seem personal to you is a routine day at
the
office for us. We do our best to maintain
your privacy and make you as comfortable as possible.
I'm overweight. Can I still get a Brazilian Wax?
YES YOU CAN! We are experienced in waxing small, medium and overweight clients. Please keep in mind that we may be limited to the areas we remove hair based on your size although we are very good at removing all the hair for all our customers.
Is Waxing Seasonal?
No!
People who get Brazilian like the feeling of having ZERO hair with ZERO
stubble, razor burn or irritation. This is why almost all of our
customers continue year round. This also minimizes the discomfort
associated with waxing. It gets faster and more comfortable after
each waxing.
Will I Get A Closer Wax At Professional Skin?
At Professional Skin we use special waxes that get closer and are gentler on your skin. This allows us to remove more hair with less discomfort. The hair in your pubic area grows in many different directions (patterns). Since the hair can only be removed in one direction at a time, this requires an area to be wax multiple times. We use special waxes that we developed that adhere only to hair and do not stick to skin. This is the reason why at Professional Skin you will receive a closer, more comfortable wax that lasts longer.
