House Cat question of the day….. Brazilian Waxing. Would my “lady bits” ever forgive me, and would I survive?
It’s getting warmer outside, summer is upon us ladies. That being said it is also time to consider bathing suits for the season, and the taming of the “lady bits” in said bathing suits. This is a massive undertaking if not handled regularly, and incredibly serious stuff for those of us wandering around in two band-aids and a cork by the pool.
Come on, don’t cringe….. You and I both know that the struggle is real whether we talk about it or not. To shave, or to wax runs through your “OMG, it’s bikini season” fuddled mind every year just like it does mine. Sometimes we just want to give up and wear shorts, but that’s a cop out my dears……. No worries. I got this for us. I’m not embarrassed to ask all the stuff you are thinking
I know exactly nada about waxing down under other than it can hurt, and women swear by it. So, I am taking my real life questions to the most qualified person I know who will shoot me straight. April M. Monterrosa everybody! Not only is she my friend, but after you see my interview below, you will see why she is also my expert!
Jeanie- April, I’m so excited for you to meet my community, and help us figure out the great mystery of bikini waxing, and the ever whispered about Brazilian wax. So, I’m a pretty modest person, and getting a bikini wax, or a Brazilian, conjures up all sorts of graphic images for me. I imagine you’ve run into this before. How do you manage shy clients, and first timers?
April- For my new clients, I reassure them that they are in great hands, as I have over 20 years of experience in skin care and waxing. For extremely modest clients, I drape them with a towel and only uncover the area I wax and then cover them up and go to the next section I’m going to wax. Being a bit covered up seems to help them feel more at ease and relaxed.
Jeanie- How does one “prepare” for a lady bits waxing service?
April- The most important thing in preparing for your Brazillian wax is to be clean; taking a pain reliever also helps those that have a low pain tolerance, and wear loose clothing. Do not shave or trim before your wax either.
Jeanie- So, break it down for us. Bikini wax means the front. Brazilian wax means all the way up your backside, right? I’m so confused.
April- A bikini wax is removing any hair outside the panty line in the inner thigh area. A Brazilian wax is removing all hair in the pubic area and your backside is optional. There is also a French wax which is similar to a Brazilian but with a landing strip left behind.
Jeanie- Which one is more popular, and do both men and women come in for these services?
April-The Brazilian wax is the most popular and both men and women come in for these services.
Jeanie- How long does it last, and what price point should your clients expect?
April- It all depends on how fast one’s hair grows. Some clients come in every 4 weeks, while others can go up to 8 weeks before their next wax. My Brazilian waxes are $75 and if you purchase them in a series of 3, you get 1 free. (4 waxes for the price of 3)
Jeanie- 4 for the price of 3! OMG, I just love a good deal. Any advice for those like me who are on the fence?
April- Just do it! Ha! Brazilian waxing is my most popular service; once you have one, you will never want to shave again!
Jeanie- So now I know! You are the best! Thanks for spending some time with me today.
Alright my friends, you read it here. Now YOU know too! If you have any other questions let me know, and this is how you contact April to set up your waxing service, AND take advantage of that special 4 for the price of 3 deal!
