Question

What is this new permanent waxing about?  
Answers The system is called Epilar®.  It has been in Europe for many years.  The System includes two patent pending gels that are massaged into the skin immediately after waxing.  These special gels work on the hair follicles that are left empty after waxing.  These are the hairs that are active and in the growth phase. After a series of visits, your hair is completely gone and all you are left with is smooth skin.  It sounds amazing and it is.  It is more effective then laser and is a fraction of the cost.  More information here!

NOTE: Just like our waxing service, our Epilar® cost is about 1/2 of any other salon offering this service.

We are 1 of ony 4 salons in the entire state of PA to offer
Epilar®. 

Question What sanitary measures do you take at your salon?
Answers This is a great question!  Since we are educators in waxing (especially Brazilian waxing) we are meticulous when it comes to sanitation.  Here are some of the precautions we take and why:
  • We never use the same applicator twice.  Each and every time our waxing applicator touches your skin to apply the wax, it is thrown away.  This is to avoid cross contamination.
  • We ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES.
  • We always use sanitary bed coverings.
  • We use hospital grade sanitation for all our instruments like tweezers.

Question Does getting a Brazilian wax hurt?
Answers Not as much as you think.  All of our clients agree that the discomfort was not nearly as much as they thought.  Most agree it was not bad at all, and ALL agree it was worth it not to have to shave anymore.

Question What can I do to make my waxing more comfortable?
Answers We have heard that clients receive a very comfortable service after they take 1 or 2 pain relievers 1 hour prior to their waxing service.  You are more then welcome to try this if you like.

You can purchase our “No Scream Cream”. It must be applied 1 hour prior to your appointment.  It will take the edge off your waxing. Click Here to order.

Question Does waxing get easier?
Answers YES!  Each time you wax it becomes less & less uncomfortable.  Most people agree that their 2nd Brazilian wax was not uncomfortable at all.  Maintenance is the key.  If you maintain your waxing, you will never have pain again associated with waxing.

Question Do you take extra care with first time waxing customers?
Answers YES!  We understand that your first time getting waxed, especially a Brazilian, can be a little nerve racking.  We take extra time to explain what we are doing and why.  We also remove the hair is very small strips to maximize your comfort.

Question How old do I need to be to receive a Brazilian wax?
Answers We do not have any minimum age, however, if you are under the age of 18 you must be accompanied by a parent.

Question Why are you the only one in the area to offer this service?
Answers Most salons do not specialize in waxing. Especially Brazilian services.  It is a very difficult service to perform due to the fact that the hair grows in many directions and it is a extremely technical procedure.  We are trainers for Brazilian waxing and perform about 20 per week in our salon. You will be very happy with our service.  Oh... and our price is right as well!

Question Can't I just get my Brazilian done at a spa or a salon?
Answers You can certainly get your Brazilian wax done anywhere that will provide it, HOWEVER, there are a few things you should know. Most places do not offer Brazilian waxing for a good reason.
  • It is much more difficult to perform then a simple leg or underarm.
  • The hair grows in many different directions and can be VERY uncomfortable if removed wrong.
  • Most estheticians are not formally trained in Brazilian waxing.
  • Most have picked it up from a video tape.
  • They use the wrong wax, incorrect removal method, unsanitary procedures and simply do not do enough of them to be good.
  • They are more expensive.

Question Is it unhealthy to remove your pubic hair?
Answers A question I get once in a while.  The answer is NO!  We don’t know why we have pubic hair!  It does not keep us warm and it does not protect us.  It seems as though the prevailing theory relates to pheromones — scents that the body produces that can be sexually stimulating to others.  In prehistoric days this might have been useful but today serves no purpose at all!

Another theory is that it signals a person of the opposite sex that you are ready to take on a partner for reproduction.  Once again, not very useful in today’s day and age.  In short, all the research by the greatest minds in the world STILL cannot figure out why we have pubic hair.  To date, we have not found any factual evidence that removing your pubic hair is unhealthy in any way.

Question If I get a Brazilian wax, will it increase sensitivity during sex?
Answers Yes, dramatically.  The difference is amazing.  When you remove the hair you have many more sensors on the skin exposed.  This greatly enhances the sensitivity of touch.  I have many clients that tell me they notice a huge difference just wearing their panties.  Not having any hair in the bikini area certainly has many advantages.

Question What do I wear during my waxing?
Answers Disposable g-string’s are always available for you to wear during your waxing. We do our best to preserve your modesty at all times and still give you a flawless waxing service!  If you come in for just a bikini wax and not a Brazilian, you will always be given a disposable g-string. 

Question Do I have to get in all kinds of wacky positions during my Brazilian waxing?
Answers
  • NO!  We have many different ways to remove all the hair during your Brazilian wax.  This will depend on your body type.  You can be certain that you will not have to get in any wacky positions.
  • NOTE:  We never ask you to flip over and get on all 4's.  This is a practice done in most salons and I strongly disagree with this technique.   It is embarrassing and quite frankly humiliating to the client.

Question Is there a certain time of the month that is better for me to get waxed?
Answers YES! It is best to be in the center of your cycle.  A few days before or after will make it a bit more sensitive.

Question I'm shy, will I be able to get a Brazilian wax?
Answers YES YOU CAN!  If you're embarrassed about getting waxed, try to remember, we are professionals. Please keep in mind that what might seem personal to you is a routine day at the office for us.  We do our best to maintain your privacy and make you as comfortable as possible.

Question I'm overweight.  Can I still get a Brazilian Wax?
Answers YES YOU CAN!  We are experienced in waxing overweight clients as well as small to medium framed clients.

Our waxing table does have a weight limit.  Obese clients will generally weigh more then our waxing table will support.  We cannot service clients weighing over 225 Lbs. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
