FAQ - Intimate Waxing (Female Genitalia)
Welcome! Whether it's your first time or you're a regular, we know intimate waxing can feel a little daunting. Here’s everything you need to know to feel more comfortable, confident, and prepared.
1. What is intimate waxing?
Intimate waxing involves the removal of hair from the pubic region. There are different styles depending on how much hair you want removed:
-
Bikini Wax: Removes hair outside the panty line.
-
Brazilian Wax: Removes all or most hair from the front, labia, and back (you can choose to leave a strip or triangle).
-
Hollywood Wax: Removes everything—front, back, and in-between.
2. Does it hurt?
Yes, but it’s manageable—and it gets easier with regular waxing. Pain levels vary based on your tolerance, menstrual cycle, and how coarse your hair is. The first time is usually the most uncomfortable.
Tip: Avoid caffeine and alcohol before your appointment—they can make your skin more sensitive.

Cleanse: Gently cleanse the area before your appointment.

Yes, you can—just wear a tampon or menstrual cup. But keep in mind, your skin is more sensitive during your cycle, so it may be more uncomfortable.

Have sunburn or irritation in the area.

Have active skin infections or open wounds.
