Bikini vs Brazilian Wax: What Chicago Residents Need to Know

What is a Bikini Wax?

Remove that unwanted hair from your bikini line with a bikini wax. With a bikini wax, your salon technician will use either a hard wax or soft wax, removing any unwanted hair from your bikini line region.

Wanting a full bikini wax, but not an all-out Brazilian wax? Try a Bikini Full and get the hair removed from your pubic bone area as well as your labia area. The butt and anus areas are not included in this.

What's the Difference–Bikini Wax vs Brazilian Wax?

You've learned about a general bikini wax, a bikini full. Now we'll cover a Brazilian wax. With a Brazilian, your salon technician removes hair from almost everywhere depending on which variation you get. The most popular one would be the Hollywood Wax, which completely removes all hair.

Hollywood Wax: remove all the pubic hair from the front, between the butt area, and between the legs. This complete hair removal will have you feeling red-carpet-ready.

French Wax: This one won't remove all the hair. It'll remove some of your between leg hairs, and some hairs in the frontal area. However, you can leave a strip or a rectangular shape on the front, and it won't remove the butt hairs or labia hairs.

Can Men Get One Too?

Of course! Men can get a "Manzilian" wax which removes either all or most of their hair from the crotch area. It removes the hair from around the bikini line, as well as the groin. They can also remove hair from the scrotum and entire anal region. They can expect a longer-lasting and smoother feeling when they choose to get a wax over shaving the area themselves.

Which One Should You Choose and How Should You Prepare?

Reflexion Spa offers a wide variety of waxing services to choose from. Luckily, you can choose from a bikini or a Brazilian wax depending on how much hair you want to be removed.

Take a shower before your appointment, exfoliate your skin, and choose your wax. Realize that this can be a painful process and expect a little stinging. Also, to get a wax, you must grow your hair out to roughly 1/4 inches long. That way, the technicians can remove the hair from the root of it. This can take anywhere from one to two weeks or more. Other than that, depending on the activity you’ll want to prep for, it's up to you on which wax would be most beneficial.

Why Get One?

Simply being said, waxing is great for your skin. It exfoliates and helps produce collagen production–which, in turn, slows down the aging process and gives you glowing skin! Treat your skin right and schedule a waxing appointment.
