Frequently Asked Questions

Because waxing will make your skin feel soft and it lasts much longer than any other temporary method. People also wax because they feel it is more hygienic and that their hair grows back finer and sparser over time.

Yes, but the pain goes away in seconds and every person’s pain tolerance is different. It does get much easier after the first time. If you are extra sensitive or about to get your period please consider taking ibuprofen 45 minutes to an hour prior to your appointment.

For Brazilian wax, we won’t lie- getting it isn’t going to be a walk in the park. Our estheticians are going to make sure it’s as painless as possible (that’s what we are known for!), but you can expect it to hurt, especially if it’s your first time. However, the more often you do it the less painful it becomes.

There are a few good ways to make it less painful- taking an aspirin or ibuprofen beforehand can ease the pain a bit. There are also many numbing creams that you can apply 30 minutes before your appointment that will help with the pain as well.

Luckily, the pain will only last a few minutes- getting a Brazilian wax is a quick procedure, so even if your pain tolerance levels are low, you only have to get through a few minutes of the pain.

Also, if you have a habit of going to the spa after your weekly bottomless brunch- don’t. Alcohol in the blood will make the waxing much more painful. In the first 24-48 hours after your waxing, make sure to not aggravate the area- no hot baths or scalding showers.

If you feel like the pain is too much, tell your esthetician- they will definitely give you a break. It’s all about YOU.

At Bare Necessities, all of our equipment is sterilized by a hospital grade EPA and a barabicide. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene, our waxing sticks are dipped into sterile wax, applied to the client once, and then discarded. We also use disposable tweezers for each individual client.

The state of Texas requires a license to wax. All of our skin care specialists are licensed in the State of Texas to help ensure that our clients experience the highest level of service possible.

At least 1/4 inch or 2-4 weeks of growth, whichever is longer. The longer your hair is, the better results you will get and the longer it will last.

It differs with people depending on how fast their hair grows. On average, waxing will last between 3-6 weeks depending on the area waxed. Remember the more you wax, the longer it will last!

You can still get waxed and it is very common for moms-to-be to get a Brazilian bikini before giving birth. Please let us know if you are in your 2nd trimester or further along when making the appointment. We will schedule more time to ensure maximum comfort!

We are a family-friendly salon, meaning you must be 18 years old to wax or have parental approval.

If you are taking Rx Accutane, Differin, Retin A, Antibiotics, or any medication that may cause sun sensitivity. You should also avoid waxing while using salicylic acid, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, Obagi products, any harsh exfoliants, or any facial peels. All these products thin out your skin and will make you more sensitive and likely to burn or peel. Please wait 2-6 weeks depending on how long you have been on the medication before you wax, as we want to make sure the medications are out of your system. If you are not sure of how you may react from any other prescriptions you are taking, please contact your physician.

Let’s start with the basics: a Brazilian wax is not the same as a regular bikini wax. While a traditional bikini wax will tend to only focus on parts of your pubic hair on the front, a Brazilian gets rid of way more- both front and back, usually leaving a small strip of hair left. That’s right, if you want to get rid of pesky hairs around your butt cheeks, this is the wax for you.

This is a great option if you have a lot of hair that grows quickly or have found that the simple bikini line clean up doesn’t really work for you. By removing hair follicles straight from the root, whether with hot or cold wax, it removes hair cleanly and keeps the area hairless for much longer than if you are used to shaving your pubic areas. Plus, you don’t have to worry about plucking out individual hairs with waxing: your esthetician will be able to get most of your hair down there gone using just a few quick strips.

Don’t get too worried about the terminology- it can seem confusing, but all you need to know is that the landing strip and Bermuda triangles are types of waxing designs, not waxes themselves. A Brazilian wax is basically going to get rid of all hair on the bikini line, on the front, and on the back- but you can leave a bit of hair left. These are the strips that you might have heard about- a landing strip is just a small strip of hair, and a Bermuda triangle is, as you’d expect, a triangular shape.

But don’t feel limited by these two choices: remember, it’s your Brazilian wax and you can design it however you want! Your esthetician is going to want to make sure you’re satisfied with how it looks down there, so don’t be afraid to speak up if you’re not satisfied with the look or feel of what you’ve had done. Feel free to choose whatever look you like best- and you can always go for something different the next time!

Most annoying answer: it depends on how sensitive your skin is and what type of skin you have.

More helpful answer: A good rule of thumb is to wait approximately 3-6 weeks; this tends to be the average time the hair grows long enough to be waxed again. You might find this to be a welcome change from shaving, where you’ll only remain hair-free for 48 hours at most. You can work with your esthetician to determine a regular waxing schedule that can ensure timing for best waxing results.

You need to wait until the hair is roughly ¼ of an inch long to go back for any type of bikini wax, otherwise the wax won’t be able to grab on to the hair and they’ll ask you to come back at a later date. A good way to make the waxing last as long as possible is to make sure to take good care of the waxed area and taking preventative measure to keep the skin healthy and free of ingrown hairs.

But don’t feel limited by these two choices: remember, it’s your Brazilian wax and you can design it however you want! Your esthetician is going to want to make sure you’re satisfied with how it looks down there, so don’t be afraid to speak up if you’re not satisfied with the look or feel of what you’ve had done. Feel free to choose whatever look you like best- and you can always go for something different the next time!

And remember- it’s always better to grow it too long than have it be too short, so if you’re not sure if it’s long enough yet, just err on the side of waiting a bit longer. If necessary, your esthetician won’t mind trimming it a bit to make sure that it’s not as painful for you. (Longer hair can be more painful to wax!)

A Brazilian wax does take off more hair than a normal bikini wax or simple bikini line clean up, but it isn’t the same as a Hollywood wax! Hollywood waxes are easy to remember because they get rid of everything- so this is an option if you prefer the feel of having absolutely no hair there.

While loads of clients swear by the Hollywood wax, a Brazilian wax is a good alternative if you want more off than just a traditional bikini line clean up but don’t like the idea of having absolutely no hair down there.

If you’re just going in for a no-frills Brazilian (and are saving your leg waxing for another day), you can expect the whole thing to be completed within a half an hour. If your hair is pretty thin and fine, it’ll take even less time than this. So, if you’ve got a few things you want to get done at the salon, feel free to book multiple spa treatments– a Brazilian wax appointment won’t take up your whole day.

A Brazilian wax gets rid of loads of hair- and your esthetician won’t even have to use many strips to do it! This is partly why you might prefer going to a salon in person rather than doing it at home- even if you’re an expert, it’s not easy to make sure you’ve got all the hair removed and to ensure it looks just as you want it – and it tends to take longer. Our professional Bare Necessities estheticians are experts in giving you a quick and as painless as possible experience and can make sure every single unwanted hair is gone.

Additionally, a good waxing experience can be ruined by not having the right temperature wax, and if you are a DIY waxer, you need to make sure you don’t have the wax too hot or too cool. If your wax is too hot, it could end up burning you which is very painful. Our estheticians know just the right temperature for your wax treatment and will make the experience stress-free for you.

If you’ve just had a Brazilian wax, you’re going to want to wait 24 hours before doing anything to the waxed area. A good first post-wax treatment is to relax and let the area heal- after all, the pubic area is sensitive and might feel a little sore.

After that, it’s a good idea to regularly exfoliate the area. This will help the healing process and make sure your wax lasts as long as possible by helping the hair to grow back naturally and prevent ingrown hairs from forming. Also, be aware of anything going on with your skin and contact your salon if you have any questions.

What’s good is that once you start regularly waxing, you’ll notice that your hair grows far less quickly than it does when you shave. This is because waxing pulls the hair out straight from the root, whereas shaving only starts at the surface of the skin. So you might notice a change in your hair re-growth rate once you start regularly waxing- you’ll also be spared the annoying itchiness that comes from shaving!

Before your Brazilian, make sure the hair is long enough and make sure to not wear tight clothing. Any underwear or pants that are clingy will feel painful and could lead to chafing. A good idea is to wear loose clothing- break out those parachute pants you’ve been keeping in your attic.

Overall, just relax! It’s our job to take care of all the details about your wax. All you need to do is relax and show up on time! If you have any specific concerns beforehand, or things your esthetician will want to know (if you’re waxing while pregnant or have any particular skin issues are two important things you might want to mention) you can always call the spa in advance.

It’s not a good idea to shave the bikini area after you’ve gotten waxed. You might think that you can just wax the full bush and then shave it to keep it up, but in reality, this will interfere with the hair regrowth and could lead to painful and irritating ingrown hairs. Plus, you won’t get the biggest benefit of waxing- your hair growing back less thick and less frequently.

Stick to one method of removing the hair. Whether a regular waxing service or shaving or laser hair removal, keeping up with one method of body hair removal is a good idea and will make sure your hair and skin stay healthy.

You might like to get your bikini area waxed because of aesthetic reasons, or maybe you just prefer the feel of it being completely bare down there. But there is another benefit of regular waxing appointment that you might not know about- it benefits your skin and overall health in general.

skin treatments in houston texas

If you’re making the switch over from shaving to waxing, you’re going to discover some amazing health benefits for your skin, and you might easily become addicted to the waxing lifestyle.

Here are just a few of the health benefits of waxing.

  1. It prevents ingrown hairs. While shaving only gets to the surface of the skin, waxing pulls the hair straight from the root. This means that the hair follicles are less likely to become ingrown and be painful for you- and they’ll stay gone for longer.
  2. It’s a great exfoliant for the skin. You might be more used to the idea of exfoliating your face or even legs, but your pubic area also needs some love to get rid of that dead skin. Bikini waxing is great at leaving you with smooth and healthy skin.
  3. No razor burn. This can be a huge benefit if you’ve been used to shaving your pubic hair your whole life- waxing gets all the hair removed without leaving you with pain from missing a spot. While the area will be sore afterwards, this will fade in a day or so.
  4. It’s more cost-effective than other methods of hair removal. While you may be partial to shaving or even laser hair removal, both options need to be done more frequently than waxing. Since the hair grows back much less quickly, you don’t have to book as frequently as you might think. Just make sure not to shave between waxes- let the hair grow back naturally.
  5. You can customize your wax however you want- and even make it fashionable. It can be a huge confidence booster to have a completely smooth bikini line, but you can even go further than that in choosing the design of your wax (we’ll get to those options below).
  6. Your skin will feel smooth and refreshed- and stay that way for longer. Instead of the rough patchiness that comes with the hair growing back after you’ve shaved, you can expect much smoother skin and finer hair when it does grow back.

Stick to one method of removing the hair. Whether a regular waxing service or shaving or laser hair removal, keeping up with one method of body hair removal is a good idea and will make sure your hair and skin stay healthy.

One of the best benefits of waxing is that, unlike shaving, post wax you will have hair-free skin for much longer. We recommend that you wait at least 30 days in between each waxing, because it takes three to four weeks for your hair to grow back to be long enough to wax off.

Depending on how thick your body hair grows, though, you may want to book this appointment sooner. Another good reason to keep waxing all year round, though, is that every time you wax, your hair will grow back less frequently and less thick.

This is a great perk of waxing and makes it even more cost-effective than shaving (where you probably find you have to shave to keep it looking good every few days). This means that your bikini area will require much less maintenance than you’re used to- enjoy the free time this gives you! The more that you wax, you’ll get a better idea of how quickly your hair grows.

Stick to one method of removing the hair. Whether a regular waxing service or shaving or laser hair removal, keeping up with one method of body hair removal is a good idea and will make sure your hair and skin stay healthy.

Many customers ask whether it’s beneficial to shave before a bikini wax treatment. While that thought process seems to make sense at first, it is actually better to have a little bit of hair growth in that area for the wax to adhere to in order to get the best waxing results possible. If your skin is already bare before treatment, the wax will be unable to grasp the hair follicles that will provide you with silky smooth skin!

If you are a routine shaver, the professionals at Bare Necessities recommend waiting at least five days after shaving before coming in for your bikini wax. Ideally, you should aim for your pubic hair to be about a quarter of an inch before receiving your bikini wax service. However, it’s also important not to have your hair be too long, either – we recommend trimming the hair down to about the length of a grain of rice in order to get a perfect bikini wax. Trimming the bikini area before waxing is a great way to ensure that your hair is not too long nor too short for ideal results from a bikini wax.

Stick to one method of removing the hair. Whether a regular waxing service or shaving or laser hair removal, keeping up with one method of body hair removal is a good idea and will make sure your hair and skin stay healthy.

bikini wax treatment

We know how difficult it can be to let your hair grow in between bikini waxes – that’s why it’s so important to schedule your waxes regularly (we recommend booking a bikini wax appointment every 6 weeks). If you are on a consistent waxing schedule, you will not only experience better waxing results overall, but the process will become much less painful over time as well (and you’ll be able to avoid those painful ingrown hairs!).

Your esthetician will be happy to do any custom requests that you have in mind! This can be related to the style or shape, or even if you prefer to not have a certain area looked at. You can always feel free to contact our spa in advance of your appointment to specify your requests, or just tell them on the day.

We’ve got the most custom bikini waxes here, but don’t feel like you have to stick to one of these if you have another style you prefer! But if it will help you narrow down your options, here are the four most common custom waxing styles we see:

Standard Bikini Wax

  • This style of bikini wax removes excess hair from your bikini line, giving you a sexy and trim look. This might be a good option if you have relatively thin and fine hair, or just want something more modest.

The Landing Strip

  • The landing strip is a good option if you want to remove most excess hair but prefer to leave a little bit of hair. The landing strip leaves a vertical strip right down the middle and has the benefit of being pretty trendy.

The In-Betweenie Bikini Wax

  • Just like the name implies, the in-betweenie bikini wax treatment is in-between a bikini wax and a Brazilian wax. This treatment will allow you to customize your look by giving you the exact style you want. If you want more than a typical bikini line clean-up, but don’t want to go as far as a Brazilian wax, this is a good choice.

The Brazilian Bikini Wax

  • This might be the one that you’re the most familiar with, but make sure you know what you’re getting into when you book in for a full Brazilian! The Brazilian wax treatment is all about total hair removal- right from the front to the back. This is a good way to bare it all and is a great choice if your hair is pretty thick.

Stick to one method of removing the hair. Whether a regular waxing service or shaving or laser hair removal, keeping up with one method of body hair removal is a good idea and will make sure your hair and skin stay healthy.
