The benefits of waxing

 There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal.    

• It is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time;
• It is a long-lasting method
• Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks.
• It is more effective than shaving or use of depilatory creams because the hair is removed at the root rather than at the surface of the skin and therefore it will feel smooth at touch.
• Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit re growth that is softer

 One of the most annoying drawbacks of waxing is that many people experience ingrown hairs, red bumps, and minor bleeding. This can be reduced by regularly exfoliating, and applying an astringent or a solution of both astringent and oil (typically baby or azulene oil). Ask the therapist about Ingrown Zone Cream by Mancine Cosmetics the most effective way to prevent ingrown hair.

Some Advices to reduce discomfort of waxing.

1. Do numb the area

About 15 minutes before the waxing you might want to apply  a numbing spray that you can buy in any pharmacy. Take an aspirin or ibuprofen about 30 - 45 minutes before your wax. This is especially helpful when getting waxed above the lip, chest, bikini and genital areas- which top the list as the most pain-provoking areas. 

2. Do seek a professional 

it doesn't mean that because the therapist is qualified can do a good job. Seek someone  experienced. They know which one is the best wax suited for your skin,  apply the right thickness of wax, hold the skin tight, and pull it  in the right direction. You will be surprised how many people either wax without qualification at all or they do not know what they are doing. Imagine yourself walking away from a salon with your eyebrow ripped and looking odd 

3. Don't apply astringent or toner

These tighten the pores and can make a firmer hold on the hair follicle. So hold off right before waxing 

4 Do not go to the beach after waxing

Do not lay on the sand after you have your waxing done as bacteria can penetrate your skin and cause folliculitis

5 Have a warm shower prior waxing

Take a warm (not hot) shower, if you have access to one,  or use a warm compress just prior to waxing, it will open up the skin pores and allow the hair follicles to come out easier. Do not apply ice after waxing in order to relief the pain. Cold compress might be applied if dots appears on your skin in order to shrink superficial vessel and reduce the redness. 

Bikini and Brazilian wax.

Brazilian (also called triple x) or bikini waxing were first introduced to the" western" public in New York in 1987. Seven Brazilian-born sisters introduced this technique that remains a popular hair removal method in Australia.

Brazilian waxing differs from a regular bikini wax because hair is totally removed in between the legs.Sometimes a  "landing strip"(or G string) is left in the front, but some clients opt for the most popular way where everything removed.

It is important that you choose a salon that follows sanitizing procedure according to Council regulation if you don't want to incurr in infections problems.

How we do Brazilian and bikini waxing at Odyssey Nails Hair & Beauty.

Every waxing service occurs in a private room with a door. You'll be left alone to remove your pants and underwear and you'll be asked to fresh yourself up with scented ph neutral wipes,  lie on a table with clean paper or sheets. 

Because you only need 1/4 inch of hair for the wax to grab onto, your beauty therapist may trim pubic hair to the correct length.It goes without say that shorter hair is too hard for the wax to grab onto. You'll be sent home if hair are too short.

The therapist will advice about what method of waxing you prefer: Hot wax or Strip wax. At Odyssey Nails Hair & Beauty we offer both but ultimetly is not the therapist's  choice, but the client's choice about what method has to be employed.

The therapist may apply talcum powder to the skin to facilitate the removal of Talcum powder keeps hot wax from sticking to skin. 

The best waxers are fast, which means less discomfort for you.

The waxer will dip a wooden waxing stick into a pot of  wax and then spread it onto your skin and hair. She will then apply a cloth strip over the still-warm wax, pressing firmly so the cloth, hair and wax adhere to one another. When the wax has cooled, she will pull the strip off, in the opposite direction of your hair growth, pulling the hairs out by the root

If the waxing process is too painful for you, ask the therapist to proceed applying the wax onto smaller areas at a time. 

The therapist will finish the service by removing the hair between the buttocks. 

The therapist will fininsh the service by tweezeing  any stray hairs.

The waxer will spread soothing lotion from MANCINE over the waxed areas.

The procedure, like any waxing, can be very painful at first, but frequent visits usually cut down on the pain factor.

You can also apply a topical anesthetic and an acid-based anti ingrown cream snce ingrown is very common.

The downside of a Brazilian wax... while it lasts 3-6 weeks, the hair will grow back -- albeit finer and lighter -- and you'll have to do it again. Do not make the hair grow back too long. 

Get rid of burns or rashes with a hydrocortisone cream, which soothese irritation

Book the appointment for at least a week after your period.

As for the embarrassment factor -- we like to think getting a Brazilian can't be any more embarrassing than a typical visit to your gynecologist's office. These technicians have seen it all before.
