Bikini Wax?

[LindsayG]

I am SO glad this thread got started...I've always thought about getting a Brazilian, but was too scared to ask around about the experience!

 

I think I might get this done before the wedding...how long before would be ideal? I don't want to get it too close and be irritated, but I also wouldn't want it to start re-growing before the wedding! Any ideas?

I'm a wimp! I've never even gotten my eyebrows waxed. If there any other wimps out there, I recommend Nair bikini. It smells like rotten eggs while you have it on, but 5-10 minutes later you are smooth sailing. for me, it lasts about 4-5 days but it's totally painless : )

I find that the eyebrow and lip do tend to cause little pimples.

 

Nothing like that with legs or bikini though.

 

Frankly, I use a depilitator on my legs (think epilady, but they are so much better these days), and I swear by it. Yes, it hurts, but there is no regrowth for almost 2 weeks. And I can do it whenever I want, and it doesn't cost me $45 a session. That being said, I can't use it on my bikini. It's not as quick as waxing, and just too OWWIE!

For those that are getting eyebrows waxed, I recommend finding someone who can do it by "string". Once you get your eyebrows/lips done by string you will never go back to wax. I love it.

 

The esthetician sp? takes a thin string and pulls the hair. It doesn't hurt and IMO it looks cleaner.

 

This process is used by different ethnic groups but its becoming a trend.

I believe its called 'threading' at least around here it is. My daughter pays $3 at one of the local Indian beauty shops.

so happy - that sounds interesting! Perhaps I will check it out before my wedding, so I dn't have to worry about my few strays and then the blonde ones that might shimmer in pictures.

Thanks Helen, it is called threading , I couldn't think of the name for the life of me. $3.00? Thats awesome. I have paid $7 to $12.

my BF does the threading for her eyebrows, it looks way better than waxing, but she says it hurts more. I guess everyone's pain threshhold is different. Mine is zero!

If you do it the week before, you shouldnt have a problem
