Waxing

A Brazilian wax is the removal of all in bikini hair in the pubic region leaving only a small strip commonly know as the runway. The Hollywood wax is the complete removal of the bikini hair in the pubic region. Many women request these waxing treatments because it gives a clean, close wax and the freedom to wear even the most revealing swimwear and lingerie.

You'll have a smooth, bump-free bikini area that looks fabulous in a bathing suit or au natural.

First the hair is snipped with scissors so the wax can reach the follicles. Then, using a wooden stick, a technician places warm wax on the area a little bit at a time. As with a regular bikini wax, talcum powder is placed over the hot wax and, after it hardens, pulled away from the skin.

Traditional Brazilian and Hollywood waxes includes the labia and the area that reaches into the buttocks. If there are stray hairs after waxing, the technician may also tweeze the area. The key to allowing wax to penetrate into the follicles (and provide the closest possible wax) is to relax. The beauty technician also recommends that hot wax instead of strip wax is used for this treatment. And many women claim the treatment is not nearly as painful as it sounds.
