What
is Brazilian Waxing?
Brazilian waxing generally means complete hair
removal around the whole female genital area
including the anus
and perineum although there is an
option to leave a small amount of hair about 2 or 3
fingers wide above the vaginal area. Brazilian
Waxing for men is sometimes offered and means removal of all
hair around the male genital area.

How
much Does Brazilian Waxing Cost?
Prices at beauty salons may range anywhere from $25
to $100 or more.
How
to Prepare for Brazilian Waxing
Allow your hair to grow for at least two weeks
before going for a Brazilian waxing treatment then
trim hair short (about a quarter of an inch to half
an inch at most). Shorter hair is easier and more
comfortable to remove than long hair but there does
have to be some hair there for the wax to grip.
Ensure that the area is clean before your appointment either by showering or (if you don't have time for that) by thorough cleaning with baby wipes or simple soap and water. Salons usually provide disposable underwear (thong) or you can wear your own (not too precious) thong or go completely bare.
How
Long Does a Brazilian Waxing Session Take?
A session takes from 20 to 45 minutes. The initial
session will probably take longest with each
subsequent session taking a little less time as hair
becomes easier to remove.
What
Happens in a Brazilian Waxing Session?
The beautician will ask you to remove underwear,
then you lie down. The beautician will then tell you
to raise your legs and may sprinkle the area with
talc to ensure that the skin is dry. She or he will
then use a spatula to spread a thin layer of hot wax
on one area at a time removing the wax by pressing
down with a cotton strip, holding the skin taut and
pulling in one short sharp pull against the
direction of hair growth. Of course, in this area
you are pretty exposed and have to be OK with being
handled in some pretty strange ways.
The pubic area is often very sensitive and therefore
painful to wax although different people experience
different levels of pain with it. The pain can
continue for a while afterwards too. Sometimes a
cold compress can help afterwards and be sure not to
wear tight fitting underwear or clothes to your
appointment. You can reduce pain a little by taking
an over the counter pain relief medication a hour or
so before your treatment.
