Some people
get nervous at the thought of going to see a stranger to have their
hair, any
hair, ripped off… I don’t know why! (Ripped is too harsh a word, I meant
to say
gently tugged.) This post will explain exactly how waxing works at
Studio Urban
Wax, so that you can come in knowing what to expect and not be nervous
at all
that someone will soon be gently tugging hair from body.
When you set
up your appointment for your wax, whether by phone or online, you can
choose
the body part you want to wax. Rest assured, we have waxed everything,
and
nothing you choose will be new to us, even if you don’t see it on the
list. Women’s
and men’s Brazilian bikini waxes, brow waxes, and shoulder and back
waxes are
very popular right now.
For a women’s
bikini wax, you will be prompted to choose between a French Bikini, a
Playboy
Bikini, and Brazilian Bikini. If you would like something else and are
ordering
online, choose the one it is closest to, then add your details into the
comments box. A French bikini being the most modest, removing the hair
on just the
sides, then the Playboy Bikini leaves just a landing strip while also
removing
hair from your backside, and, if you somehow made it to 2010 without
watching
Sex in the City and don’t know this, a Brazilian removes all hair from
the
front to the backside.
When you
come into the salon for your waxing appointment, you will be ushered
into one
of our private rooms where you can choose to listen to our lovely music,
or
plug your own ipod in to the dock on the wall. Then our esthetician will
go
over with you what hair you want removed, and if you need to undress
your
underside she will usually leave the room and allow you privacy,
discreetly
coming back in when the coast is clear. If you are doing a Brazilian
bikini then
you can choose to wear a pair of disposable unders, or use your own and
the esthetician
will be careful to protect them from the wax.
Then the
esthetician will use the warm European hard wax, check it is the right
temperature
for your skin, and remove small batches of hair. When your skin is
smooth and
hair free, she will leave you to dress and meet you at the front of the
salon.
‘I went to Studio Urban Wax for
my first
bikini wax, and truly did not know what to expect. The whole time I was
there I
felt very comfortable and relaxed. I am a modest person, and I never
felt
embarrassed through the whole process. Rebekah was the ultimate
professional.’ Client,
