Question 1

How long should your hair be for waxing?

Accepted Answer

For waxing, your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long, which is about 10 days of growth after shaving. Waiting 2 weeks ensures the wax grips the hair properly for smooth removal and a more comfortable experience.

Question 2

What is the difference between a Brazilian wax and a bikini wax?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is it unhealthy to remove pubic hair?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Is a Brazilian wax painful?

Accepted Answer

Not really! 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.

Question 5

Well, getting a Brazilian wax increase romantic sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Does it hurt more if your hair is longer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How do you maintain safety and hygiene during a Brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

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. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Question 8

Is there anything I could do to make my Brazilian wax more comfortable?

Why doesn't every salon offer Brazilian waxing?

Question 14

Is there a better time of the month to get waxed?
