On a daily basis, I have clients come in for a Brazilian wax and some of the first words that come out of their mouths are, “I read online.” or “my friend tried waxing herself and the wax got stuck and wouldn’t come off.” When it comes to brazilian waxing that last thing you want to do is go off someone who had a bad experience. Waxing does NOT have to be scary. It is a very quick service. On average I do 15-20 Brazilians daily taking no longer then 10 minutes each one. It is very rare that something goes wrong. If it does, it’s usually because I was not informed of a medication the client is taking.
A few helpful tips when preparing for a wax:
If you do all of these things, your wax will go a lot smoother. It is very important to find a waxing technician that is experienced and knows what they are doing. Ask around, read reviews, and ask how long the technician takes. Time is a big factor. If it takes over 25 minutes, the technician probably is not as experienced as others. To get a brazilian wax under the age of 18, it’s a requirement to have a parent come in and sign a waiver.
After the wax, you can expect a little redness, and tenderness. Don’t worry! This goes away quickly. Waxing is great for so many reasons. You don’t have to worry about the red painful bumps from shaving, your hair thins out over time, you don’t get itchy like you do with shaving, and it’s a quick service that you only have to do every 4 to 6 weeks.

There are many factors that cause our skin to become dry. One example is age. As we age, our cell turnover rate slows down and we don’t produce as much oil. We are not able to slough off our dead skin cells like we were able to do when we were younger resulting to dry rough skin. Another example is environment. Here in Utah we live in a dry environment causing our skin to become very dry. Because of these things, we have to exfoliate more often especially during the winter season in Utah.
One form of exfoliation is dry brushing. Not only does dry brushing exfoliate our skin, it has many other benefits.
•helps eliminate cellulite by detoxifying the body
•helps stimulate the nervous system by improving muscle tone
This is a very simple task that only takes 30 seconds. It can be done every day before showering. While your body is dry, brush your entire body. When brushing, always brush towards the heart. Once a week you can clean your dry brush with hot soapy water. Calm Spa and Salon has several different dry brushes to choose from ranging from $10 to $12.
You can get yours by coming into Calm Spa and Salon located at 573 West State Street suite B, Pleasant Grove, Utah 84062.
