What brand of wax does European wax use? ›

Our Unique Comfort Wax®

Our Comfort Wax® was the inspiration behind the name of European Wax Center, because Europe is where we source our beeswax from to make our signature violet wax. In addition to beeswax, our Comfort Wax® is formulated with skin-soothing ingredients.

Yes! Our wax specialists are happy to give you smooth, radiant skin when you're on your cycle. Just keep in mind that your skin will be more sensitive, and you may experience a bit more discomfort than you have in the past.

If it's your first time, expect it to be a bit painful, though it is fairly quick. "Expect the service to be more uncomfortable if you have never waxed, are coming off shaving, or if your hair is a little longer," Patek tells Allure. She adds, however, that it does get easier every time.

How Much Should You Tip Your Waxing Expert? “Like any other service environment, gratuity is at the discretion of our guests, but 20% is standard and a good starting point,” says Helene Marie, waxing expert at European Wax Center.

A gel texture wax is applied thinner than a creamy wax but thicker than an ultra-fluid gel texture wax. A gel or a creamy wax are both all-purpose waxes. The benefit of an all-purpose wax is that it can be used on any body area, skin or hair type. The number one voted all-purpose wax is Cirépil BLUE hard wax beads.

Start at the baseline industry standard of 15-20% of the cost of your bikini wax. Feel free to tip at the lower end of this if your service was not up to your standards. Don't forget to ask them for a modification before letting your displeasure be reflected in your tip, though- they may have a solution!

We cannot and will not wax over hair/skin that was recently shaved. It is a waste of your time and money to arrive with hair that is too short to remove. Hair longer than an inch? Trim it down to an inch, not too short!

Working on clean skin is hygienic for the wax technician. No special shower is required; an ordinary shower will do. However, avoid taking a shower right before hair removal waxing. Take a shower a few hours or at least 30 minutes prior to your hair removal waxing appointment.

Does a Brazilian wax include the bum? ›

A Brazilian wax is where all hair is removed from the labia, perineum and anus, or to put it another way from your undercarriage and behind! A “landing strip” of hair is left on the mons pubis (the top of your pubic bone). This is usually a strip of hair (i.e. a rectangular shape) but some customers prefer a triangle.

If you're in a situation where you have to squat over the potty seperate your labia by placing both hands on each cheek, hold and push extremely hard (Don't let out a poot 💨). This will ensure that urine goes straight in the toliet.

What happens if I get an erection? Don't worry, it happens! Most erections that occur during a Brazilian waxing service have nothing to do with sexual arousal. Instead, it is likely to be no more than an involuntary response to the manipulation of the client's genitals.

Waxing can range from slightly uncomfortable to very painful, depending on the area being waxed, the sensitivity of your skin, and individual tolerance levels. Generally speaking, most people rate it as a 4-7 out of 10 in terms of pain intensity.

Clients who are new to waxing this area may wish to start with the Bikini or Bikini Bare (in between Brazilian and Bikini wax) to gauge how well they tolerate the waxing. After the waxing, clients may see slight pinpoint bleeding in the hair follicle and redness that may last a couple of hours.
