My area of expertise is providing waxing services exclusively for women.

I am experienced in both soft and hard wax, however I use only hard wax for my bikini services, as well as underarms. I will use soft wax (strip wax) for larger areas such as back, legs, etc.

If you compare waxing and shaving, there are many advantages you'll find you get by waxing. The first being that your hair will take much longer to grow back. When you shave, you're only removing the hair at the skin level, so many people find that they're shaving every few days. When you get waxed, we remove the hair from the follicle, so you'll get about 2 full weeks of smooth skin before the hair begins to regrow. Overtime, because the hair is being removed from the follicle, you will see a significant reduction of hair regrowth.

I book out my Brazilian waxing service for 30 minutes. This includes the time it takes to undress, and checkout. Typically the actual wax will take about 15-20 minutes.

I don't allow any guests into the room during waxing services. The only guests allowed, would be a mother to a minor. Extra guests can be a distraction while I work, and I need to be able to put my full attention on the task at hand. The wax room is not a child proof environment, and there is too much risk of a child touching something such as hot wax or sharp tools. Please leave your children, boyfriends, and friends at home during your wax. This is a short and intimate service, I promise it'll be a better experience for both of us if I can focus on making sure you're comfortable and doing my job to the best of my abilities.

Yes, usually for most people a Brazilian wax will be a bit painful. This will vary from person to person, depending on hair density, skin type, etc. The first wax will always be the most painful, but by the second and third wax you'll notice a significant difference. The pain is short and quick, so once it's over you shouldn't be experiencing pain.

When thinking about waxing, keep in mind a few factors. If you're on oral antibiotics, it's not recommended to get waxed due to possible effects on your skin's sensitivity.

Diabetes, especially if insulin-dependent, requires a doctor's note for safe waxing. Skin can be prone to infection and more sensitive to bruising, bleeding, or tearing.

Certain medications like blood thinners and oral/topical acne treatments (like Accutane) aren't great companions for waxing. Wait at least six months after stopping Accutane, as it thins skin.

Using over-the-counter acne treatments or prescription skin meds like Retin-A or Renova can lead to skin issues during waxing. If you have recently received a chemical peel, refrain from waxing the area for a few weeks to avoid complications.

Lastly, sunburned skin is a no-go for waxing. Let your skin heal before scheduling a waxing session.
