A Brazilian wax removes hair from the entire pubic area — front, back, and sides — with the option to leave a small landing strip if preferred. The service typically takes about 30 minutes.

We offer a full menu including underarm, leg, arm, bikini, chest, back, eyebrow, lip, chin, full face, and more. We also offer the HydroJelly facial treatment and vajacial services. Visit our Services page for the complete menu.

HydroJelly is a nutrient-rich peel-off mask that hydrates, brightens, and calms the skin in a single treatment. It can be added to any waxing service, booked as a stand-alone facial, or enjoyed as part of the Summer Glow Bundle.

We offer four formulas: Cocoa Wax (all-natural, calms redness — ideal for sensitive skin), Regular Hard Wax, Sugar Wax (natural paste of sugar, lemon & water), and Turmeric Wax (brightens skin and may slow regrowth over time).

Sugaring uses an all-natural paste of sugar, lemon juice, and water applied at room temperature and removed in the direction of hair growth. Waxing uses warm wax applied in the direction of growth and removed against it. We offer both so you can choose what works best for your skin.

Allow hair to grow at least ¼ inch (about 2–3 weeks after shaving), exfoliate gently the day before to lift the hair, avoid heavy lotions or oils on the day of your appointment, and wear loose clothing for comfort afterward. Arrive a few minutes early to complete intake forms.

No — do not shave before your wax appointment. Hair must be at least ¼ inch long, roughly the length of a grain of rice, for the wax to grip and remove it cleanly.

Hair should be at least ¼ inch long for effective waxing — typically 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving. If you have never waxed before, 4 weeks of growth is ideal.

Yes, you can still get a Brazilian wax during your period as long as you wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup. Skin is often more sensitive during menstruation, so some clients prefer to schedule outside their cycle.

Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy. Please mention your pregnancy to your esthetician so we can adjust our technique and product if needed, as skin tends to be more sensitive during this time.

A standard Brazilian wax takes approximately 30 minutes from start to finish. Add-on services such as HydroJelly or additional waxing areas will extend the appointment.

Waxing involves some discomfort, especially during a first Brazilian, but most clients describe it as brief and very manageable. Pain decreases significantly with each visit as hair grows back finer. Our cocoa wax is formulated to be gentler on sensitive skin.

Results typically last 3–6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. Most clients book Brazilian appointments every 4 weeks for consistently smooth results.

For 24–48 hours after your wax, avoid hot showers, swimming pools, saunas, tanning beds, and intense exercise. Wear loose breathable clothing, skip fragranced products on the waxed area, and begin gentle exfoliation starting 48 hours after your appointment to prevent ingrown hairs.

For consistent results, most clients return every 4–6 weeks. Regular waxing on a 4-week cycle produces finer regrowth over time and a more comfortable experience at each visit.
