FAQ

  • A California State Licensed and Insured female Esthetician. All of our Estheticians have been trained thoroughly by attending extensive courses on speed waxing. They will make you feel comfortable and at ease with their sweet personalities and perfect waxing techniques.

  • The Bikini Wax is a technique of removing the hair that would be showing outside of your bathing suit or underwear.

  • The Brazilian Wax is a technique of removing all the hair in the bikini area not including the cheeks. Some people choose to leave a strip or a triangle on the top. In order for you to receive a Brazilian Wax, you’ll need to be naked from the waist down. It may seem uncomfortable, but we are very experienced and have waxed thousands of women and men so you can feel secure with our discretion and professionalism.

  • For body waxing you need at least 3 weeks of hair growth from your last shave and 4-6 weeks from your last wax. For underarm waxing you need at least 2 weeks of hair growth from your last shave and 2-3 weeks from your last wax. Facial waxing you need 2-3 weeks from your last wax.

  • After just one wax session your regrowth will be much thinner, finer and softer.  That is one of the major benefits.  With continued waxing, you may even experience significant reduction in regrowth. Which makes it easier and less uncomfortable if you keep up with regular waxes. Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your wax. Take a mild anti-inflammatory medication (like Ibuprofen) 30 minutes prior to your appointment. Most clients find waxing to be very tolerable.

  • You should not tan within 48 hours before or after you wax.  Waxing has an exfoliating effect on the skin and will  make you temporarily more susceptible to sunburn and sensitivity.  If you would still like to tan, we would advise covering  the area completely with a towel. Wait to come in after a spray tan, or the wax will exfoliate the tan right off. Spray tan after your waxing appointment.

  • Yes, 15 years old or younger must have a parental approval signature to be a client at Brazilian Wax Boutique.

  • Yes, you can still get waxed while you are on your period. We just suggest that you wear a tampon.

  • The skin may stay red and tender anywhere from 1 to 24 hours depending on your skin's sensitivity. The wax we use is more gentle on the skin, therefore some people will experience very little redness and irritation. We recommend our products PFB Bikini Mask for body waxing and Image Post Treatment Balm for facial waxing to speed up the healing process.

  • EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE!!! We advise “ALL” individuals who receive body waxing to exfoliate on a daily basis. You “WILL” get ingrown hairs if you’re not exfoliating!!! We recommend using a strong bristled brush along with PFB Liquid Luffa and one of our PFB medicated roll-on exfoliators. We will discuss these issues during your waxing appointment. We have many products to choose from to fit your individual needs.

  • Brazilian Waxing during your pregnancy is perfectly normal and not harmful to you or your baby at all. We are highly experienced with waxing moms-to-be. Your skin may be a little more sensitive during this special time. We suggest asking your Dr. for any other concerns.

  • We have a very strict “No Double Dipping Policy” whether it’s your Bikini, Eyebrow or Leg wax. We WILL NEVER reuse our wax sticks. This prevents the spread of harmful bacteria and diseases.

  • Depending on your rate of hair growth, the average you should be hair-free is for at least 2 to 3 weeks. To maintain your smooth appearance, we recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks.

  • It is always helpful to exfoliate and take a mild anti-inflammatory medication (like ibuprofen) before a wax service. This will help to reduce skin redness and swelling – and will help to keep you calm if you get nervous easily. Also avoid caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before your waxing service.  They are stimulants and they only increase your blood flow and make the experience more nerve wrecking.
