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, March 2010
