If you're a woman or man who cares about your appearance, then you can't settle then anything less than the best. And if you've ever had a "bad wax" then you know the pain that comes with a botched waxing job.
Before you go out there and get waxed by the average Joe (or Josephina), there's a few things to remember before you let a stranger slather on the gooey goodness.
What is a Brazilian Wax?

A Brazilian wax involves the removal of all hair in the pelvic area, front and back. This is often confused with a bikini wax which only involves removing any hair that extends past a typical bikini bathing suit.
Since a typical Brazilian can be a little scary, it's important to understand the different kinds of wax that are used in this treatment.
All wax is NOT created equal.
If you've ever gone to the drug store and bought a "waxing kit" that promised great results but didn't deliver, then you know the value of working with a professional.
There are two kinds of wax that are used at med spas and skin care clinics, a hard wax and a strip wax.

is used for big areas of the body like legs and arms. Strip wax is very sticky, which allows the wax professional to apply the wax, and then apply a strip of fabric that sticks to it.

Before agreeing to a Brazilian wax, make sure that you understand the kind of wax that is
going to be used for the treatment. For the best results with the least pain, strip wax should be used on the traditional bikini area and hard wax should be used on the more sensitive areas. If you are particularly sensitive, hard wax can be used for the entire treatment if you request it from your waxing professional.
A few questions before getting a treatment can go a long way to calm the nerves and get a comfortable Brazilian wax.
