Frequently Asked Questions
Your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long, which typically means about 10 days of growth after shaving. For the best results and a more comfortable experience, we highly recommend waiting 2 weeks before getting waxed.
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.
For the most part, most salons in our network will consider a Brazilian wax every thing removed from the front to the back. If you would like to leave a strip or a small triangle in front that would be considered a Brazilian wax as well. Just let your therapist know your preferences.
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.
Bottom line! Take it off and be more comfortable.
No, it won't be painful! While you might have read some alarming stories online, Brazilian waxing is only slightly uncomfortable for a brief moment when the hair is removed. At ProWax, we specialize in making the experience as comfortable as possible. Most clients find the discomfort to be much less than anticipated and agree that the results are well worth it. You're in good hands with our experienced professionals.
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. Many clients say they notice a huge difference just wearing their panties. Not having any hair in the bikini area certainly has many advantages.
Your waxing will NOT hurt more if it is longer.
The fact is that the legnth has nothing to do with the discomfort associated with waxing. The discomfort has to do with how much hair you have and how long it's been since your last wax. This isn due to the growth cycles.
NOTE: It can be more uncomfortable to get waxed if your hair is to short. If your hair is short the wax can't grab the hair effectively. This will cause a longer wax service that is more uncomfortable.
We prioritize sanitation to ensure a safe Brazilian wax experience. We never reuse applicators; each one is discarded after a single use to prevent cross-contamination. Our staff always wear gloves, and we use sanitary bed coverings. All instruments, such as tweezers, are sanitized with hospital-grade disinfectants.
We have heard that clients receive a very comfortable service after they take 1 or 2 pain relievers one hour prior to their waxing service.
YES! ABSOLUTELY! 😀
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.
Brazilian Waxing is generally not performed on anyone under the age if 18. Every salon has their own criteria, but this is the general rule.
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.

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.

Some have a lot and some have a little. The bottom line is Yes. A lot of times this is not offered on specific menu items, but many therapist are comfortable removing nipple hair safely.

This is quick. Takes about 2 to 3 Minutes

We never wax directly on the areola
All you need to do is ask.
G-strings are not automatically provided during a Brazilian wax. Many therapist work quickly and working around a garment will actually be more uncomfortable for you.
Your modesty is always preserved during your waxing service! Please keep in mind that your wax is done by professionals who are used to this service.
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. However, please check with the salon directly as each location has their own preferences.

People who get Brazilian like the feeling of having ZERO hair with ZERO stubble, razor burn or irritation. This is why most customers continue year round. This also minimizes the discomfort associated with waxing. It gets faster and more comfortable after each waxing.
