  • Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to have waxing preformed as these medications tend to sensitize the skin.<\/li>\n
  • Hair needs to be at least 1\/4 inch long. Any shorter and wax is unable to grasp hair.<\/li>\n
  • Avoid Sun exposure and tanning beds 24 hours before service on any areas you would like to get waxed.<\/li>\n
  • Don’t wax right before period not only are you more tender,hormones make hair coarser making it prone to breaking off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Exfoliate with our merben Bikini brush against hair growth before or in shower. Exfoliates, removes\/prevents ingrown hair as well as detoxifying and bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to that area.<\/li>\n

      Because The method removes the hair at the root. When new hair grows back it feels softer and is more sparse. It is fast, and skin feels and looks softer than using any other hair removal method.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      Every 3 to 5 weeks. Ideally you should have it redone in about 2 weeks but depends on how fast your hair grows and that varies from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      No. Don\u2019t try to wax this delicate area by yourself. It\u2019s difficult to apply the wax, hold the skin tight, get the right leverage and then pull and pull quickly, all at the same time. It\u2019s not like waxing your legs where all the hair grows in the same direction. On the labia for example, hairs tend to grow in more than one direction. This often requires waxing each side twice \u2013 once in each direction. To attempt your own Brazilian wax means worthless pain, let me clarify, pain without getting the hair out, and ugly purple bruising. Seek out an expert for this job.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      The hairs have to be about 1\/4 of a inch long in order for the wax to grab and pull the hairs out so you have to let it grow out for your follow-up appointments. For the first wax, do trim a bit if you have long hair.\u00a0 Long hairs make the aesthetician\u2019s job a little harder.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      Emphatically yes! If you don\u2019t wait too long, the second time around the hairs will be shorter, thinner and sparser because they\u2019re not fully matured. This makes removal a little less painful (still hurts) and has the added bonus of shortening the length of your appointment. A second wax is more effective than a first wax too.
      \nPRO TIP: Keep up the waxing. Don\u2019t wax, then shave, then wax. Is like starting all over again.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      The entire pubic region is waxed, leaving a small section is an option (2-3 fingers wide) above the vaginal area or you can just have all the hair removed, from the front to the back.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      No, wax prevents ingrown hairs, but some women have serious problems with ingrown hairs, so, in those cases it doesn\u2019t matter what kind of depilation you use. This varies from individual to individual.<\/p>\n

      PRO TIP: One way to prevent ingrown is to use a washcloth and wash briskly in the shower and\/or towel off briskly after bathing to discourage ingrown. Based on getting other parts of your body waxed you can make a pretty good judgment as to whether ingrown may be problematic for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      Not usually, especially if is kept up, because the hair grows thinner and soft. It does differ from person to person, however, the itch from shaving can drive you crazy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      As dead skin cells are removed in this process the skin can feel quite smooth afterwards. The waxing action does cause the skin to sting and many find a soothing skin healing cream to be helpful afterwards.
      \nSome persons find the skin reacts with redness and bumps which disappear after a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      Waxing should not be done on areas of skin affected by warts, pimples, moles or rashes or on skin that is irritated, chapped or suffering from sunburn. Never apply wax to peeling, broken skin or varicose veins. Never apply wax to the nipples when removing hair from the breast area.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div> \n\t

      It is wise to test a small area first but generally waxing can be used on most parts of the body. The exceptions are the male genitals, nipples, inside the ears and nose.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>
