Question 1

Q: What if I’m coming straight from work, on my lunch break or the gym and haven’t had time to shower before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

A: Do not stress if you haven’t had time to freshen up or are in a hurry and coming from the gym, work and busyness of life. I have refresher wipes and everything you need here to prep for your wax.

Question 2

Q: How long does my hair need to be before a wax?

Accepted Answer

A: 3-4 weeks of growth to give you the perfect Brazilian! Hair has different life cycles. Although you may think you have a lot of hair, their will be some that are to short to wax. All hair must be able to adhere correctly to the wax. I use a specialty blend of Hard wax which bonds around your hair and pulls it out by the roots! It does not adhere to skin; as a result NO chance of skin trauma! Your hair follicles may be angry; but that is normal and I provide supplies for purchase for your aftercare treatment! This helps close and heal the follicles fast!

Question 3

Q: Can I shave between my wax sessions?

Accepted Answer

A: Resist the urge to shave between sessions. Shaving chafes the skin, creates sharper, coarser hair and encourages growth!

Question 4

Q: What exactly do I do prior to my wax to ensure the smoothest, longest lasting results?

Accepted Answer

A: Exfoliate the day/eve before. The best way to do this is: Take a warm shower or bath. Do your routine. However, after stepping out and take a dry towel then scrub/rub/exfoliate the area (s) which you are having waxed. Doing this step after your shower/bath routine is a way better exfoliation of the skin. The skin is soft and the dead skin and microscopic debris are easily sloughed off thus ensuring a perfectly thorough removal. As well dry brushing OR using a gentle exfoliating scrub or acne cleanser also helps and is recommended every week in your skincare routine between waxes.

Question 5

Q: I am stressed! It’s my first wax! I’m embarrassed! I’ve birthed children and my vagina looks different! I’m scared! I am too skinny! I am to fat! My skin is so loose! I have scars! My anxiety is sky high!..... All the false things we speak to ourselves sometimes ;(

Accepted Answer

A: PLEASE know that ALL these thoughts are normal! Firstly, I am a mother of 2 boys and birthed their huge bodies; I am the last person to judge! I assure you that NO vagina is alike! We are ALL perfect just the way we are! No body is the same! All the social media, magazines and movies; they are so edited creating a false image! No one looks like this! SO BREATHE... Come to your appointment as relaxed as you can. Like a lot of things in life, the anticipation is often worse than the actual event. I assure you that you are in amazing, experienced and caring hands. I am a Licensed esthetician since 2005 and I specialize in Advanced Brazilian Wax and Full Body Waxing.

Question 6

Q: Is there anything I can do to take ease the discomfort?

Accepted Answer

A: Medicate if you must. If you’re concerned about the potential for pain, take an extra strength Tylenol 1.5 hour prior; this will take off the edge. (NOT Advil or any blood thinning anti-inflammatory medication; as it this thins your blood and bruising may happen. However, remember it will be over before you know it. Being fuzz-free is so worth a couple minutes of discomfort! In addition, I have a topical numbing agent that is 5% Lidocaine. You must purchase a tube 0.1% of my clients use this. This is an extreme measure and it is not needed; however, if you have an extreme fear than please purchase this ahead of time. As well when you are PMS-ING (3-5 days before menstruation) This is the most sensitive time. Not only physically but emotionally as well! The moment your period starts (menstruation) this sensitivity is gone. This brings us to the next question…

Question 7

Q: I am on my period (menstruation)! I am about to start my period! I am spotting! I just started my period on the day of my Brazilian wax! The list goes on….

Accepted Answer

A: No worries! Again, I have been performing this service since 2005 and am comfortable with womanly functions and ALL body parts! Simply put a tampon/diva cup in right before your appointment and when you arrive you may use the refresher wipes and you are good to go! Same as going to the doctors! Educated! Precise! Clean! Sanitized and Caring!

Question 8

Q: I am plus size and overweight. Can I still get waxed?

Accepted Answer

A: 100,000% YES!!!! Again, I am skilled since 2005! I effortlessly position you and place/hold skin exactly where is needed for a quick and thorough wax! I am myself plus size so I am familiar with all that needs to be done! My Extra large and solid waxing hydraulic table can hold up to 800 lbs safely!
