Did you see Jessica Simpson’s new reality show this week on VH1, The Price of Beauty? She and Ken Paves went to Brazil for a Brazilian wax. You would think this would make sense, right? But would you go to France for french fries? Believe it or not, Brazilian waxes aren’t the best in Brazil – as we saw – ouch!!

In order to find the best in the industry, join this decade and do some research – online. Check out their website, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages. Comment on their wall, ask them questions, and then give them a call! The receptionist should be well versed on both the technique and the products. No question is off limits. Believe me, they’ve heard it all. Ask how long they’ve been in business, what kind of sanitary precautions they use, and if you can go in for a complimentary spa consultation with a specialist. Last but not least, go in for a less invasive service, like an arm hair wax. You’ll be able to get a first hand view of how they operate without having to take your pants off.

Give us a call anytime to get your questions answered. No question is too personal, so ask us!

Jess, Kev: Next time, see how it’s done at Completely Bare Spa!

The Ultimate Hair Removal Guide by completely bare spa

Well, we got a question this week on our Twitter feed from one of our men followers, asking: “What’s the best way for a guy to remove all hair down there, completely?”

I’m glad you asked! When it comes to men and body hair (down there) , we’ve come a long way (no pun intended). When what I call the “waxing revolution” happened in the 90s, it was all about the Brazilian wax for women. It’s no surprise that, for men, a trip to Brazil was in the imminent future. This would be the quick solution to hair removal for men. It does have it’s drawbacks. With waxing, you’re merely renting your hair free existence. Laser is the more permanent and the most cost-effective way to go. Because several treatments are needed, the modern man can choose how bare he dares to go. Be it completely bare, or just a well tended garden, I beg all men, black, white, gay, straight, bi, or undecided to take charge of their hair removal needs. Trust me, your significant other will thank you.

Would love to hear from our men out there…

You discuss with your best friends about the most intimate details of your life: relationships, men, sex, grooming. However, it takes the anonymity of a seasoned specialist to make you feel truly safe enough to ask the most personal and seemingly embarrassing questions.

One common question that most women are afraid to ask is “hair or no hair”? Should I take everything off? Should I leave some hair? How much hair is too much hair? The answer is always what makes you feel the
most comfortable and what makes you feel great. For most women, the most popular bikini shape is what they call a Brazilian bikini. This shape leaves what is now infamously called the landing strip…a narrow, rectangular section of hair located right above the labia. The landing strip can be as thin or as thick as you would like. The average size is about the width of two index fingers. If a landing strip is too risqué for you, there are other options to try! Many women prefer a triangle or even a square depending on their body type.

Then you have your creative types. I’m talking lightening bolts, hearts, even initials. Then you have the women who want to 86 their hair altogether going completely bare.

With all the choices out there, how does one decide? My advice is simple: try the newest and the latest but keep in mind what looks best on you. Unlike your Hanky Panky’s, bikini shapes are not one-size-fits-all. At completely bare spa, our spa specialists will work with a client to achieve the most flattering shape.

If you cannot get to a completely bare spa, here are some tips: If you’re curvy, a triangle with soft edges will give the appearance of a slender silhouette. If you have narrow hips, an inverted triangle will give the illusion of feminine curves. Last, but definitely not least, have your specialist evenly trim your shape to the desired length.

And remember ladies, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. How many times do you change your hairstyle before you find the right one? Exactly.
