Hard wax is much more gentle than soft wax so removal won\’t be as intense as soft wax is. Once cooled enough put the wax on the are to remove. Let it cool and slowly peel up the section in a quick movement. Always go in the direction of the hair growth. Pat down the area with your hand. And repeat process if needed. Waxing with hard wax many feel is the best way to go.

Things To Know About Hard Wax

As you can see waxing with hard wax sometimes takes a little more work than most other things do. The biggest problem you will notice is getting use to working with it. Soft wax is totally different and will cause more pain than hard wax as it gives more. People need to understand that about hard and soft wax. Most people will tell you that working with hard wax would be their choice.

Remember to use soothing creams on the areas that you have work done on. This is because many times redness occurs and creams seem to lessen the pain and speed up healing which is a very important process in waxing. Always remember to avoid the eye area with these types of waxes. Waxing is a never ending process that seems to be changing all the time. Better innovations are coming out to make this type of hair removal less painful than ever before. I see no reason why this trend won\’t continue in the future.

Waxing with hard wax isn\’t for everyone. The people who have it done often will tell you how much they love it. In the end though that decision will be yours. Waxing gives you way to remove that unwanted hair at a very low cost. This is the nice part about waxing it\’s low cost and quick. Many people feel that is good enough for them.

So you’re feeling courageous and have decided to go ahead with the ultimate wax job. Here’s what you’ll probably experience:

• If you’ve done your homework and consulted a trained aesthetician before your appointment, he or she should have told you to let your hair grow in the desired area and to possibly take pain medication before you come in.
• Leave your inhibitions at the door. You’re going to be exposed (very exposed) during the process.
• Powder will be dusted over the area to be waxed if you sweat.
• Warm or hot wax will be spread on the genital area in sections. The wax will probably be covered with cotton cloths. If hard wax is use no clothe strips are needed. (hard wax is the lease painful)
• The aesthetician will then remove the strips, with the wax attached, in one smooth motion. This may be pretty painful. This will be repeated with each section.
• Any stray hairs will be removed with tweezers. If you already chose a patch of hair to remain, this can now be trimmed and shaped.

Consult a Professional

Be advised that you really want to consult a licensed professional for this procedure. This isn’t like an eyebrow tweezing; painful complications can result if done by someone who’s not as knowledgeable about this process as they need to be. Likewise, this isn’t a home grooming treatment you can expect to perform on yourself with any sort of good results.

Finding a trained aesthetician isn’t difficult. If you know someone who can recommend one, that’s preferable to just looking in the phone book and hoping for the best. Before you go in for the treatment, ask a lot of questions. If the aesthetician doesn’t seem educated enough about the process or seems annoyed that you’re asking questions, go someplace else.

 

The Brazilian wax is the next level up from the bikini wax
the former removes all pubic hair while the bikini wax leaves some hair.

The Brazilian wax is more popular than ever today and most women who have one are delighted – not only are they fashionable, but they give a women freedom and are sensual for both men and women.
Origins and popularity

The Brazilian wax originated in Brazil, so women wanting to wear the then-new thong bikinis, which was not widely popular inside the United States at the time.

Brazilian Waxing
became popular in the 1990s in the US before spreading worldwide.

1. It’s hygienic
Waxing of the public area is not new and centuries ago in ancient civilizations such as Persia and India women were waxing their pubic hair.
One of the main reasons is hygiene.
Pubic hair is magnet for germs that can cause bad odors and a variety of skin irritations. Shaving off the pubic hair will dramatically reduce the risk of these problems

2. It Gives you Freedom
You can wear that skimpy bikini, or swimsuit with confidence and lingerie that’s as revealing as you wish without the problem of unslightly hair running your look

3. It’s Sensual
Women have reported frequently they feel more sensual and have more intense orgasms after having a Brazilian wax. Do men like it?
In a recent poll 91% men said that they found it both more attractive and erotic.

4. It’s cheap
Today a Brazilian wax treatment at a salon is not just for the rich with the rise in the popularity of people waxing Brazilian style salons are offering it as a standard beauty treatment and prices are affordable to all.
You can get DIY Waxing kits you can use at home but these require some caution and you are best of to use a professional waxer in a salon to avoid accidents

5. It doesn’t take long
In around about 30 minutes a skilled waxer will have the treatment completed, so it’s really as quick as having your nails done.
Like your nails though you need regular treatments as pubic hair re grows.

6. The pain is not as bad as most women think!
The pain is not as bad as many women believe it would be (it is still painful though) and it is tolerable for most women, furthermore as you do more waxing treatments the pain drops down as your skin becomes used to the treatment.

7. The Brazilian wax is more popular than ever and if you want to try it and you’re not sure about the pain start with a Bikini wax first to see how you feel.

So it’s hygienic, sensual, liberating, affordable and takes very little time so there is a lot to be said for waxing Brazilian style, if you have not considered all the advantages add them up and take the plunge.

One Shoulder Dresses

 

Living it up once in a while like a celeb is fine, but dressing like one all the time. Ahem we can’t afford that. But lately the one shoulder dress has often been seen on many celebs. And obviously it is flattering on most body types because we have seen it on everyone from the star of Twilight, Kristen Stewart to Miley Cyrus to Kim and Khole Kardashian. And obviously the beautiful First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off this trend as she wore the up and coming designer Jason Wu’s white one shoulder dress to the inauguration ball this year. As a matter of fact, Wu will be the honoree at Fashion Cares here in Atlanta this August. But back to the point, one shoulder dresses are hot right now.

 

 

Michelle Obama jump started the trend of One Shonder Dress this year and the rest is History.

 

So hot, in fact we have the black one shoulder dress in our boutique similar to the Kardashian girls’ dresses. We are betting they paid a pretty penny for their frocks but ours’ are only $60. So you know you read U.S. Weekly and follow what everyone wears, so why not swing by and pick up some essentials at our boutique. It’s not like you constantly have to worry that the paparazzi is following you.

Profile: Marissa Prendergast, bikini waxer

Have a hankering for a heart-shaped bikini line? Marissa Prendergast, a licensed esthetician at Sweet Samba in Midtown, can hook you up. And yes, she does Brazilians.

At your salon Sweet Samba you have a motto: “A salon for your hair down there.” Can you elaborate on that?

We do traditional bikini waxes, and we specialize in Brazilian waxes. We serve both male and female clients, but in addition to our more traditional services we also can create shapes and designs. We also dye hair and use creams to make the hair texture softer.

What kind of designs do customers ask for?

People ask for initials, hearts, any type of design. Everything is done free hand. I’m pretty much a pubic hair artist. We also have to do a lot of trimming for first timers.

I tried to get my mother in here for Valentine’s day once, but she wouldn’t go for it.

What is your favorite on-the-job moment?

I had a woman who named her vagina and was talking to it the whole time she was getting her wax. She was doing it to entertain me, because sometimes clients feel awkward those first few moments. This particular client kept talking to her vagina and apologizing if something hurt. She said she was going to take it home and be nice to it. I thought it was hilarious.

 

What’s the most common wax clients ask for?

Definitely the Brazilian or for guys the Manzillian or the Boyzillian

Since you specialize in Brazilian waxes, what styles are most popular?

Well, there are three: Dare-to-Bare, which is taking everything off including the hair on the backside; Barely-Bare, which is sort of like a bathing suit except you don’t wax the lip area; and Samba French Kiss (the landing strip), which waxes everything except a tall short or skinny area.

What’s it like sharing such an intimate experience with the people you wax?

You know usually by the end of it, me and the client are best friends. It’s easy to see why, because I’m seeing parts of them they don’t even show their best friends.

Our skin acts as a barrier between us and the outside world, but sometimes being a barrier is a dirty job. Dirt, smoke, pollution and the sun can wreak havoc on our complexion, leaving it looking dull, aged and sallow. Facials help to rejuvenate the skin by rehydrating, exfoliating, and deep cleansing your hard working skin. Our licensed estheticians work with you to identify your skin’s needs and properly care for them with organic products that help your face defy time.

Not only do facials cleanse and restore natural moisture, they also act as a preventative measure to premature aging by minimizing blemishes, dry skin, wrinkles and acne. Facials also increase circulation and improve stress levels, helping our skin’s true beauty shine, even through all of the stuff we put it through. To fully reap the anti-aging benefits of facials, it is advisable to begin receiving them every other month.

 

Organic skin care is natural beauty you can see and feel…
