The Brazilian Wax is removing all the hair from underneath the belly button continuing to the backside. Some people choose to leave a strip or a triangle on the top. Brazilians include your happy trail (belly button trail ) ... Just ask your esthetcian if that is something you would want- we don't like to assume.
-
-
How long of hair should I have?
-
Your hair needs to be at least a 1/4 inch to a 1/2 inch long in order to be waxed. This is usually about 2 weeks of hair growth after shaving.
-
-
Will my Brazilian hurt?
-
After just one wax session your regrowth will be much thinner, finer and softer. That is one of the major benefits of waxing/sugaring over shaving. With continued waxing, you may experience a significant reduction in regrowth. This makes treatments easier and less painful when you keep up with regular waxes. Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your wax. Take a mild anti-inflammatory medication (like Ibuprofen) an hour before your appointment. Most people find waxing to be very tolerable.

Are there any age restrictions?
-
You must be 18 years of age or have parental approval/signature to be a client at reWAXation.

-
Can I get waxed while I'm on my period?

Periods are no big deal to us. You can still get waxed while you are on your period but you MUST wear a tampon.
-
-
How long will I stay red?
-
The skin may stay red and tender anywhere from 1 to 24 hours depending on your skin's sensitivity. reWAXation uses hard wax for more sensitive areas, therefore some people will experience very little redness and irritation.
-
-
What about Ingrown Hairs?
-
EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE! We advise all individuals who receive body waxing to exfoliate. Sugaring is also a great alternative for people who are prone to ingrown hairs. If you have any questions please ask your therapist during your appointment.

-
-
What should I do to prepare for my wax?
-
It is always helpful to exfoliate and take a mild anti-inflammatory medication (like ibuprofen) before a wax service. This will help to reduce skin redness and swelling. Also, avoid caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before your waxing service, they are stimulants and they only increase your blood flow and make the experience more nerve wracking. Waxing is a very personal service but you are in good hands! Our licensed Estheticians are very experienced, friendly and professional. They will guide you through the process and make you feel comfortable and happy.

What is sugaring?
-
Sugaring is an ancient Middle Eastern hair removal process that uses a natural paste – made of sugar, water, and lemon juice – to remove the hair follicle from the root, making it the oldest, most natural form of hair removal. It contains no chemicals and because it is a blend of natural ingredients, it eliminates the possibility of any harmful side effects. Sugaring is gentle on the skin: the luke-warm (never hot) Sugar Paste adheres to the hair and the water in the mixture hydrates the follicle and only removes the hair, it does not stick to the skin or live skin cells. Unlike waxing, the Sugar Paste is removed in the same direction of the hair growth. Sugaring is suitable for all skin types and may even improve eczema and psoriasis by removing the top layer of dead skin and encouraging healing of the skin underneath.
