I’m trying to imagine (and not laugh out loud – ha!) right now how many at-home hair removal “oops!” like these occurred last weekend during Valentine’s Day. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not going to lie when I say that at-home hair removal can be quite easy but let’s make sure we’re not pulling strips off in heart’s like this – ugh!

Love Gone Wrong

Here are some main tips to use when waxing at home, if you are desperate and HAVE to!

- Make sure you have all the necessities such as baby powder, tongue depressors, hard wax, strip wax, pre-cut waxing strips
- Make sure skin is exfoliated so that all hairs are totally accessible to the wax

- Be sure the area is completely dry – shake some baby powder on the area to dry up any anxiety sweat that may be there

- Check that the wax is at a honey-like consistency, if it is too thin it is too hot and vice verse if it is too thick

- Next take the tongue depressors and dip into the wax and glide this in the direction of hair growth

- Then take the strip and apply firmly and tear off quickly in the opposite way of the hair growth – the same goes for the hard wax pull off once it hardens on the area in the same direction

- Lastly, this is optional but may help, you can soothe the area with a towel dipped in milk and toss in the freezer. The cold will help soothe and chill the area from inflammation.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Stacie,

Wow! That’s exactly what I love to hear! We are known for having the “ouch less wax”, and I love that you agree! I will be sure to pass on your praises to my team of technicians! They will be thrilled!

Thank you so very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give us some feedback. I hope we continue to meet your needs, and give you an ouch less wax every time!

Have a wonderful day, Stacie!

Love,

Cindy

Oh, I totally relate! To get a quick fix, and alleviate the unsightly little bumps in between waxing or shaving use completely bare’s Bikini Bump Blaster pads. These pads contain just the right amount of glycolic acid which exfoliate the skin, and salicylic acid which help eliminate bacteria and minimize sebum production, getting rid of those ingrown hairs!!!

There are no stupid questions, especially in the world of bikini waxes!!

A Brazilian bikini wax is a wax that includes the removal of the hair from the labia and the inner buttocks. A Brazilian may seem a little shocking at first but it is enormously popular right now. A “completely bare” wax which, as the name implies, means taking it ALL off is becoming increasingly popular as well. Seems less is always more…
