So, you’re thinking of venturing over to the dark side and trying out a brazilian? The way I see it, there are two types of people: those who get sugared and those who do not. It’s a lifestyle, It’s an addiction. So be careful, make sure you want this life because there will be no going back. You’re never going to look at your razors the same. You’re going to be so confident in a bathing suit. You’re going to run out of your shower naked with confidence screaming to the heavens and sending “thank you” texts to your esthetician…maybe that last one is just me…
Here’s the deal. People ask me about the pain all the time. And I am the type of person who would shove a needle in my eyeball if it was going to make me more beautiful. I’m just down with the whole principal of “beauty is pain.” But I can empathize with those who don’t feel that way. I’m not going to lie, it is spicy. But it’s bearable. And the technique we use is specifically designed to decrease the amount of pain that you feel. We are trained to make you as comfortable as possible. We also talk you through the whole thing so there are no sudden movements or surprises.
I also often hear that women are too self conscious to come in, and I get it. Listen, you are on a table spread eagle with a stranger. But we become fast friends. I see my clients more often than I get to see most of my family, and the bond becomes just like that - family. It’s a 30 minute session where we get to share our lives, which is my favorite part of my job. That’s what it’s all about in the end: connecting with other women. As far as looking at a vagina, it could be an elbow, it could be a toe. Once you have seen one, you have seen them all and trust me, your vagina is normal. I have never once had a judgemental thought while doing a brazilian wax service. The most common thoughts I have in the back of my mind are what I’m going to have for dinner later, or what work out I’m going to do at the gym.
The results of brazilian sugaring speak for themselves. Your hair will not grow back for many weeks and you’ll start to wonder where it went. When you shave, the hair grows back immediately and feels really sharp and pointy. When you sugar, it will grow back thinner and bushier and lighter and cuter. Plus I experience way less ingrown hairs. After 4 weeks, you will get to come back to visit your favorite esthetician to get it done again! Over time, it will become much less scary and might even turn into something you look forward to.
Us esthies are in the business of making girls look and feel more beautiful. Hair growth can be a source of shame and discomfort for so many of us based on societal pressures, hormone changes or imbalances, and expectations from our partners and from ourselves. What you will not experience is any judgment from us. I always say if I could afford just one beauty treatment, it would be this one. I still get mine done instead of doing it myself because I enjoy the process so much!
