Waxing in Charlottesville

In the area where you intend to wax, your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch. That’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes about 2 weeks of not shaving (bikini area) for hair to grow to this length. Hair that is shorter is not long enough to get “stuck” in the wax and be pulled out.

Exfoliate and moisturize the area you’re wanting to wax regularly! Healthy skin and follicles make for a much better wax experience during and smoother results after!

Some clients find that taking an ibuprofen before their treatment helps a little. Also, allowing the hair to grow a little longer than the required ¼ inch can help by reducing the amount of times we need to go over the area. Once you’ve begun waxing, the one thing you can do to reduce the pain is to STAY ON SCHEDULE with your appointments.

Please commit to at least 3 appointments to achieve the best results spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Absolutely! I do require that you wear a tampon, disc or cup for sanitary purposes. Also be aware, due to hormones, your service may be more uncomfortable during this time. It’s not an absolute, but a definite possibility. Some people notice no difference during their cycle while others report a huge difference in pain/discomfort.

Different regions/countries have different ideas about what a Brazilian is. My Brazilian includes your pubic hair in the front, the bikini line and the hair around your anus. If you’d like to leave a strip or triangle above the labia in the front, that’s fine too. You don’t have to do “the back” if you don’t want to either but, I will let you know that it’s not as painful as the front.
