Waxing Information

You should not wax if you are taking blood thinners, oral or topical acne medications or using over the counter acne medication. Skin that is being treated with Retin A, Renova or other strong exfoliants should avoid waxing.

You can have anything from facial to Brazilian and bikini waxing. Many men have chest and back, as well as nose and ear waxing.  Full body waxing is a safe and economical treatment for hair removal on men and women alike.

In my studio, this service removes all hair in the bikini line area, as well as genitals and  all the way back to the buttocks and anus.  In other words, everything goes!  If you are interested in this service, it is not the time to be shy.  You  will be asked to  assume various positions in order to achieve complete hair removal.  This may include  being on all fours (hands and knees) as well as other positions.  Please remember this is considered standard in the industry.  I do Brazilian waxing on male and female clients. 

We recommend coming in every 4 weeks.  For a Brazilian wax,  if you keep your appointments at 4 week intervals, the charge will be less because  the appointment will take less time. The hair must be at least  1/4  inch long to wax.

The price depends on how much hair you have.  Average price on the first Brazilian wax visit is $60, but  could be a little less or more depending on time required.   Follow ups at 4 to 5 week intervals are $40 to $50.  Any appointments scheduled over 5 weeks from the initial visit will be charged more, depending on the amount of hair growth present.   I have more information below specific to male and female clientele and Brazilian waxing.

I am female. I have been an esthetician for 8 years and absolutely love waxing.
I have a large male clientele, and am frequently told that I have a gift for making my clients feel comfortable and relaxed no matter what body part is being waxed. My view point  is "It's just hair and skin". 

Limit caffeine for several hours prior to appointment.  Clients who normally take Ibuprofen for pain may find this helpful 30 minutes prior to treatment.  Some people feel that taking antacids (Tums) prior to their appointment also  helps. I have  "No Scream Cream"  which  reduces discomfort by 50 to 90% in  most clients. You will need to purchase and apply this  cream 30 to 45 minutes prior to your appointment. Hair  should be at least 1/4 inch long for waxing.

I am a certified Adriel eyebrow design specialist.  If you need help with your eyebrow shape, we can work together to come up with something esthetically pleasing for you.  I charge a one-time fee of $35 for eyebrow design, plus $12.00 for the wax. If you come in for regular maintenance thereafter, it will only be $12.00 for the waxing service.

Just so you know, waxing immediately before and  during your period will be more painful.  I recommend you schedule your appointment at least one week prior to your period, or once  your period is completed each month. 

If you are wanting a Brazilian wax, and  just HAVE to be waxed during this time, that's ok too. It's your choice and I have no problem with Brazilian waxing while you are on your period. Just wear a tampon and let me know ahead of time.  I wax the entire area, including the labia. Of course it's your call how much or how little hair you wish to have removed.

Men:

I specialize in male body waxing, from head to toes.   Many estheticians or salons refuse to work on men, and sometimes make them feel uncomfortable if they do take them for appointments.  When you walk into my studio, you will find it more "clinical" in  style.  I've designed it to make everyone feel at home, male or female. 

My clients come from all walks of life: white and  blue collar, single and married guys, dads and grandads,   athletes and exotic dancers,  young and old, etc.  Whoever you are, just treat me with respect,  and remember that this is a waxing service only, and you will be welcome here. 

Now, for your specific questions on Brazilian waxing for men. The most common question I get from people in general is "why would a guy want a Brazilian wax?"
My reply is, "why does a woman have this service done?"  Generally we do it to be cleaner,  or  perhaps we do it to be sexier for our significant other.   Maybe we just like the way it looks. Men are no different. Some athletes do it for competition (body builders need to be absolutely hair free). Cyclists do it because they perspire and can easily get ingrown hairs from shaving.  So there are many different reasons men and women have this service done.

The one question that is on the mind of most men is "What if I get an erection during the waxing service?"   Well, so what if you do?  It happens to about 50% of male clientele. It's interesting to note that this is usually an adrenal response from the waxing service that most people have absolutely no control over.  Some men have this happen while at their doctor's office having a physical. It's really not a problem, as long as you treat me with respect and understand that we are just removing hair,  and nothing more. 

Men and women alike ask if Brazilian waxing hurts. Well, yes, a little.  I have heard another esthetician describe it similar to pulling a band aide off. It hurts a little, but is quick and the pain leaves as fast as it comes.  Most of my clients tell me that it doesn't hurt nearly as much as they imagined it would, and the results far outweigh the pain encountered during the service.  It also seems that on most people, after having the service done several times at 4 week intervals, the hair releases easier and therefore doesn't hurt as much. 

Some people ask what kind of wax I use. For Brazilian waxing, I use hard wax. I prefer Cirapil brand, or Barons Blue,  if you are familiar with waxing products. Hard wax is great for more sensitive areas such as under arms, genitals, etc. 
I use soft strip wax for larger areas such as backs, chests, legs, etc.
