Why Wax? vs Shave?

Razors cause ingrown hairs, razor burn, discoloration, itchy regrowth, etc. Waxing greatly reduces or eliminates those issues. Waxing also lasts longer! You get a solid 2 weeks of clean, hair-free skin when you get a Brazilian whereas with shaving, you get stubble and need to shave again within the next couple days. There is no stubble, even as the hair grows back, it is finer, softer hair that is not itchy and uncomfortable.

In the area where you intend to wax, your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch. That’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes about 2 weeks of not shaving (bikini area) for hair to grow to this length. Hair that is shorter is not long enough to get “stuck” in the wax and be pulled out. If there’s any question, we can always try a test strip as some people can be waxed at less than ¼ inch.

The million-dollar question, “Does waxing hurt?” is nearly impossible to answer! Everyone has a different scale for pain tolerance and what is painful for one person, may not bother someone else. However, at Lil' beaches Waxing both our wax and our process work together to offer you the most comfortable service possible.

The beauty of waxing is knowing you’ll be hair-free for a minimum of 1-2 weeks following your wax appointment.
