We're talking bottom as inbetween the 2 bum cheeks. It's actually not that painful, the rest of the bikini area can be worse. I turn my clients round on all fours as this is an easier position for them to help me stretch the skin. You feel so much cleaner having this area waxed. Its funny because some ladies say the dont have hair there - EVERYONE does! I alsways get this area waxed, feels amazing after.

In my experience, the majority of clients asking for a brazilian do want the undercarriage waxed. In my opinion, the name we give to it is irrelevant, the important thing is to establish what the client wants.

That's different from us down south (pardon the pun). I think that's why it's important to detail what exactly is being waxed......regardless of what it's called, so that the client knows exactly what they're getting.

I think its importantto distinguish between them all so the client knows exactly what they are getting and the therapist knows exactly what they are doing so you dont need to even waste time asking if they want this off if they want that off, its just nonsense. As quick as you can get them in, waxed and out.

It's different from me up in Scotland as well I remove the butt hair & undercarriage on a brazilian. I wouldn't be chuffed going for a braz and having the butt and undercarriage left.

I think when there are too many names it confuses everything, best just to ask the client when they call or come in.

I don't think it's confusing at all. I give my waxes names so that client (male and female) don't have to start reeling off a list of body parts when they book their appointment. They just say the name and that's it and most of them comment on how much easier that is.

Difference is Kim you have them all clearly laid out on your website with full descriptions which makes it really easy for your clients to then ask for a particular one.

I'm sure if someone called without looking at your website and asked for a brazilian you wouldn't confuse them with 'are you sure you don't want a ......... or an .........?' when they don't know the difference x
