Brazillian...hollywood...las Vegas?? - 30-01-05, 07:22 PM

Hi all

LOADS OF QUESTIONS..................HELP

I want to get myself on a Brazillian Waxing course shortly.

Have you had one? Comments on pain? or............

Does anyone offer this as a service? What's the best product to use?

Is it popular? how much do you charge??


Can you explain EXACTLY what is involved erm... discreetly without causing any offense to fellow geeks. It seems to vary with everyone i ask!!!

Thanks

What is it about this site we reveal all our secrets????


Brazilian - hmmm, the phrase "Hurts like hell" springs to mind!!!!!

Hollywood - no way! Above was painful enough, I'm not insane!

Las Vegas - don't know what that one is so can't comment!

Salon local to me charges £15 for a Brazilian, none of the others list it in their prices....and the one that lists the Brazilian doesn't list the Hollywood.
The girl who did it said that their boss let them do the hollywood on her so they could learn but said it was excruciating, apparently none of the others wanted it done as looked too painful!

They didn't use warm wax with strips, they used hard wax, apparently it doesn't hurt as much!!!! I didn't see/ask what it was but think this is what the 'Brazialian body hard wax' is - sorry, can't remember who makes it but they sell it in Sallys...
Once the wax has been applied and sets, they have to peel back a bit of the edge to get something to grip, to pull the rest of the wax off - this is uncomfortable - feels like the hairs are being plucked out one at a time, when the rest is pulled off, it's like waxing with strips, but depending on the area depends on the level of pain.

HTH and hasn't put others off their tea!

I have had a brazillian and I am now hooked!!!!!!!!!!!!! My only problem is the salon I go to charge £25 for it, I did not think it hurt that much, but once you have had babies nothing hurts!"!!

They use a pink creme wax which is hot. I love them, The first one I had was a playboy which was a little sparce to say the least. Would not have a hollywood too much I think.

Never had one done but want it done.

Can anyone recommend a salon/mobile who does a brazillian/hollywood/las vegas that are near me?

Seem to be very behind the times here.

I thought a Brazillian was nearly all off but just a little strip left. Not sure if they remove any from the er 'under carraige' !!

Hollywood is all off ...everywhere....am i right in thinking that??

Las Vegas is in the mags as marketed by Smile Gems...think its either a brazillian or a holywood with some smile gems applied as 'bling' he he.

Thanks

Yes, good description! They strip off the side bits, as you would a regualr bikini wax, but probably a bit more so it doesn't look odd next the the strip they leave on the top bit.

Hollywood is everything - yes. Some parts of the Brazialian were painful enough, she said it gets more painful the lower you go makes my eyes water just thinking about it.....

Having moaned about the pain though I'd have a Brazilian again - hope that it gets less painful after the first one as the hair should be softer.....that's what I'm telling myself anyway, so if it isn't true I don't want to know!

a friend of mine went to New York last year for a 'romantic' weekend away. She had hers done in the shape of a heart as a suprise.
Apparently her husband nearly p***ed himself laughing! And who said romance was dead!!!!?????
