Brazilian or Hollywood?
Are you questioning whether to book a Brazilian or a Hollywood? Many spas call their full removal service “Brazilian”. However, the traditional method of Brazilian waxing includes the removal of hair that would be exposed when wearing a Brazilian thong.

Our IPL Hair Removal treatment will deliver permanent results on any area of face and body. There are many reasons to start IPL Hair Removal. For instance, razor burn, ingrown hairs, and embarrassing stubble can all be a thing of the past! Above all, it will keep you smooth always.
Let’s just say…the quicker the appointment the better.
Bikini wax pain is a hard measurement to report since our pain tolerance varies. According to most clients, on a scale of 0-5, with 0 meaning no pain, and 5 meaning maximum pain, the average rating is a 3.5. If you prefer a hairless look without the pain, we recommend IPL Hair Removal. In comparison to waxing most clients report a 1. While its about twice the price per session, you only need 8-12 sessions to reach a permanent reduction/removal.
But never fear! If you prefer waxing, our technicians are trained in efficiency and customer care. This means that your service will be completed under 30 minutes with as little discomfort as possible, and a high regard for quality care. Less bikini wax pain!
Can i get a bikini wax if i am on my period?
Yes, we ask that you wear a tampon and the string is tucked away so that it doesn’t get pulled out with the wax. However, keep in mind that you may be more sensitive to pain during this time.
A tried and true form of pubic hair removal is waxing. Waxing is great because you get a smooth finish that lasts for weeks. Does it hurt? Well, let’s just say it’s the only spa service that you want to move along quickly! However, we have some tips on making your first bikini wax as pleasant as can be.
How do I prepare for my first bikini wax?
Our first tip is to make sure that your pubic hair is a good length for removal.
If the hair is too long it will cause unnecessary discomfort to an already uncomfortable service. If its longer than the first ridge on your pinky, that is where you are starting to get to the uncomfortable range.
On the other hand, if it’s too short it can increase the amount of hair that breaks. This results in more tweezing than necessary. If it’s under a quarter of an inch, then its most likely too short.
Course hair
If you have very course hair, using conditioner on that hair on the day of your waxing service helps to soften the hair. This conditioning makes the hair more flexible and less likely to break.
In addition, exfoliating a couple of days leading up to your spa appointment helps too. If there is hair that is just below the surface of the skin, exfoliation can help pop that up which we can tweeze during your visit.
What do I wear to a bikini wax?
We recommend wearing loose fitted bottoms including pants and underwear. Breathable fabrics, for example, cotton, help sooth after your service. Avoid items like thongs or g-strings, bring on the granny panties.
We hope you feel a little more prepared for your upcoming experience. Your service provider will take steps to ensure your comfort and care.

Waxing Prep
Some health conditions pose risks to waxing facial and body hair. Before proceeding, your service provider will review your health history form.
Make sure you are ready for your appointment by observing the following waxing pre and post care tips!
Ensure that your hair is at least at the minimum length at time of appointment- 1/4 inches.
You may take an anti-inflammatory 30 minutes prior to your appointment to reduce discomfort and inflammation following your visit. This is specially great for those prone to ingrown hairs or major irritation.
Waxing requires 24 hours downtime, therefore, we recommend no swimming, sweating, fragranced products, or sun exposure.
