Q: What is a Brazilian Bikini Wax?
A: Brazilian waxing refers to hair removal around the anus, perineum and vagina. To some people it means removing all the hair from the bikini area, and to others it means removing everything but a strip in the front.
Q: Why go to this extreme?
A: It allows women to comfortably wear revealing swimwear and lingerie. Waxed hair grows back from the root and is softer than shaving stubble.
Q: Can a man get a Brazilian Bikini Wax?
A: Many men are waxing rather than shaving to achieve a smooth genital region. Yes, men can get either a standard bikini wax or a Brazilian Bikini Wax at The Wax Zone.
Q: How long will the results last?
A: After a client's first waxing, the results can last 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual's hair regrowth rate. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week. Heat stimulates hair growth, therefore hair grows quicker in the summer than in the winter. With regular waxing the length of time between treatments will increase. Continued waxing results in sparse hair regrowth.

Q: How long does the hair need to be?
A: The hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch to be captured by the wax. If your hair is fully grown in, we will trim it to the proper length for your comfort during waxing.
Q: What is the procedure for Brazilian Bikini Waxing?
A: To begin, the hair is trimmed if necessary, and then the wax is applied in the direction of hair growth and removed with a quick pull of a cloth strip. The wax used is an amandrine beeswax for sensitive skin. While waxing, it is best to pull the skin tight, so you may be asked to help stabilize an area with your hand, especially when towards the middle of the labia where there is no fiirm bone or muscle underneath. Stray hairs may also be tweezed. After the hairs are removed an azulene oil is applied to help remove any residue wax and soothe the area.

Q: What are the possible side effects of waxing and how can they be minimized?
A: Although we cannot predict or guarantee who may react, most clients do not experience reactions beyond redness and minor irritiation. Hair may break at the root during waxing, causing some hairs to grow out faster. Please follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and possible break outs:
Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and please wear sunscreen: recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.
Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after waxing.
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 24 hours after waxing.
Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
Regular exfoliation may be helpful especially prior to your next wax appointment.
Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation.
Unfortunately, no hot shower or oral sex for 10 hours after a Brazilian.
Products are available that can be applied topically to avoid ingrown hairs and condition the skin for better waxing results.

Q: When is the best time to get a Brazilian Bikini Wax?
A: The best time is to be waxed about a week after your menstrual cycle, try to avoid caffeine, nicotine, lack of sleep and stress as these can make you feel over sensitive during your treatment. The hair should be at least 1/4" of growth to avoid the need for additional irritation.
