Types and methods of bikini waxes

> Methods of bikini hair removal

-Wax
This is the most common method. Especially painful the first time, it is nevertheless very effective. The hair and its root are removed. Results: hair free for 3 weeks. The new hair that grows back will be softer, finer and future applications of wax will be easier.

-Depilatory/ hair removal cream
Completely painless method, but can cause irritation or vaginal infections: the chemical components of depilatory creams are harmful to the balance of the mucous membranes if they come into contact with the lips. Use sparingly!

-The razor
Shaving is without doubt the quickest, cheapest and least painful method. The hair is simply cut, but the roots aren’t removed. The bikini area is more sensitive than the armpits or legs and thus shaving is more aggressive. The re-growth after shaving makes hair coarser, less flexible, can cause ingrown hairs under the skin, sores and itching.
Tip: if you choose the razor, we strongly advised not to shave dry. It is best to shave in the shower; lathering the shaving area with soap to avoid cuts.

> Types of bikini
Different types of bikini, some more technical than others and sometimes more painful too, but the result are always flawless!

-The classic wax
This is the simplest in terms of technique, because only excess hair that surpasses the bikini panties is removed. This is the bare minimum of the bikini.

-The American wax
Known as the "subway ticket." It is hair removed in a rectangular shape like a metro ticket, hence its name. The lips are shaved.

-Brazilian bikini wax
It's like the U.S. wax; it's just the shape that differs. This is a rather triangular shape rather than rectangular like the U.S. it’s technically more difficult, we advise you to go to institute for best perfect results.

-Personalized wax
A new fad, it is now possible to customize your bikini wax, such as a heart, square, flower or even dying the remaining hair. This hair removal method is also the same as the U.S. wax, but in the case of personalized wax, your imagination and creativity are allowed.

-Full bikini wax
As its name suggests, this is a full wax. This radical waxing (highly sought after by men) is becoming more widespread, although it’s the most painful method.

> Tips & precautions
- Regular scrubs prevent ingrown hairs.
- Moisturize the bikini area.
- If possible, disinfect the area before waxing to avoid some rare minor infections.
- Apply a soothing lotion after hair removal (generally the beautician does).
