True Story: Brazilian Bikini Waxing

Since I became an Esthetician this is probably the service people ask me about the most! I should say that I personally do not offer or perform this service, however my co-worker Kelly offers it and it is starting to become popular. 

Here is an actual interview of a client's experience with Brazilian Bikini Waxing Service. I purposely found someone who had not had this done at Skin Essentials, since I wanted a true, unbiased opinion/testimonial.

I would love to hear any words of wisdom or tips and tricks from anyone out there who partakes in this type of waxing.

If you could just tell me a little bit about your brazilian wax experience:Was it in Wichita? 
    I've had Brazilian waxing at numerous places, including Wichita.      A few towns in California, another in Kansas and one in Minnesota.
What was it like?
    The 1st time was terrible....I swore I would never do it again.    When I say terrible....it was because it took almost 2 hours and some areas were rewaxed.  OUCH!   Not a good sign when that happens.  A year went by and I went to a salon that was recommended.  I ended up going there for 2 years, about every 4-6 weeks for "maintenance"..  That woman could get every stitch of hair in 13 minutes.  She and her products were gentler and they worked. 
What did you love about it?  
    I loved the results.   When the hair started to grow back, it was finer, which is great since mine is so dark and coarse.  I can get ingrown hairs, red bumps and a rash from shaving.   When done right, waxing almost eliminated those problems.  It never will truly go away, but it is unnoticeable enough for me to confidentially wear a swimsuit.
What did you hate about it?
    The lady at the first place (and later when I moved to KS) didn't know what she was doing and the wax was cheap....I am apparently sensitive to certain waxes and not all of them actually work (as in, removing the unwanted hair).   Because I am a brunette, my hair is coarse and harder to remove.  Certain waxes are better than others.  It does take a few times to be comfortable with some of the odd positions, so be prepared for that.
Do you regret doing it? And why?
    I do not regret it, even the bad experiences.  I learned what is good for my skin and what I should stay away from.Or would you do it again and why?    If I find someone where I live now (OK), I will definitely do it again.  Its a MUST for the summertime, but if I kept it up throughout the year, the hair grows back at a slower pace, is finer, and by the next summer, my life is easier.  
How did the experience make you feel? (for example, embarrassed, scared, relieved..etc)
    I was embarrassed the first few time because of the positions you have to sometimes get in.  But if you want it done right, it is necessary.  Even if the wax is better, and the person knows what they are dong, it is going to hurt.  There is no way around that.  Do research before you book an appointment (and take a Motrin before you  go).  It's worth it!
