I don’t know what sparked the conversation about Brazilians between my roommate, Shelley and I, but bikini waxing came up. But I had never had one. Shelley gets them done every month at this random nail salon down the street. She suggested I go with her and get one. But I wasn’t really convinced. I mean the whole shaving thing got old and I was certainly ready for something else, but I thought (and heard) bikini waxing was incredibly painful.

I got online to do some research and Googled for a while. Then I found this Facebook fan page for Sweet Samba Boutique & Spa that does bikini waxing (obviously). Intrigued by the name, I asked Shelley about it and told her about the $35 special for a Brazilian bikini wax. We decided to go in and try it out. $35 is not much and Shelley pays something like $60 every time she goes. Anyway long story short, I had a great experience at Sweet Samba. It’s in this super cute house by Piedmont Park. When I walked in, they offered me some wine! Ha yes I would like some wine in the middle of my work day. Thank you. My esthetician made me feel a lot better about the whole pain factor. She thoroughly explained the process and got down to business while I was watching TV. FYI they have TV’s on the ceiling which you know, kind of got my mind off of the whole waxing thing. Sure I was a little bit uncomfortable, but it was nothing like I thought. I’m definitely going back! So for all of you who think Brazilians are painful, stop by Sweet Samba. They are really clean, quick and professional. You won’t be disappointed. And check out their Facebook page!
