Brazilian Waxing at our Beauty Salon- For Men and ladies

The Ayurve's Brazilian Q & A
Here’s a list of your most Frequently Asked Questions. We hope it helps to clarify the mystery of the Brazilian!

What is Brazilian Waxing?

Brazilian waxing involves the removal of all pubic hair, except for a thin landing strip or “maw hawk”. Very porn-star!

How is it done?

We disinfect the area, apply talcum powder and use wax designed for the most sensitive areas. Small patches of hair are removed, one at a time, with the utmost care! We also remove the hair that spreads through the back area. Afterwards, we give thorough homecare advice. It’s a very natural procedure, and the therapist’s experience and confidence dictates how comfortable you ultimately feel through it.

How long does the procedure take?

Going to Rio usually takes from 30 ­ 45 minutes, depending on hair growth.

How long has Brazilian Waxing been in practice?

Brazilian Waxing has existed among some cultures for centuries. In parts of the East it is tradition for the bride to have all hair removed before her wedding night. In the West it has become increasingly in vogue over the last two years. Off course in Brazil, where bikini bottoms are tiny, it is considered a normal bikini wax.

What do you attribute the new trend of having this procedure done?

The benefits of having it done are responsible for its popularity. Once anyone has a Brazilian, they can’t stop talking about it. Celebrities love it. Gwyneth Paltrow said “It’s changed my life!”, Kirstie Alley said “It feel like a baby’s butt, only all over”. Then the girls in “Sex and the City” got it done and their sex life went through the roof. On the whole, talk among girlfriends has made the trend spread locally like wild-fire. Once one has it done and talks about its benefits, the others are quick to try it out.

What kinds of people are coming in to have Brazilian Waxing?

Everyone. All ages, all sizes, all walks of life. We cater to ladies who work in the CBD, and that is a wide range of women. Many ladies in long-term relationships have it done to “surprise the man”, a sure way to bring fire back to the bedroom (or bathroom, kitchen, garden……).

Is the procedure very painful?

It depends. Some women have very strong hair and very sensitive skin, which makes for a painful experience. Others don’t even wince. On the whole most women are pleasantly surprised to see that it’s really not that bad. For the ones who are particularly sensitive, we recommend they bring a bottle of their favourite wine or champagne on our “Brazilian Fridays”, and go to Brazil with a cool glass of white and Ricky Martin in the background. At The Harem we also focus on performing it with the utmost sensitivity to our client’s feelings, which also helps.

What kind of hygiene precautions do you take?

We use only disposable wooden spatulas, and do not double dip. We always disinfect the region and afterwards apply a gentle anti-bacterial tea tree lotion.

How long has Ayurve been performing the procedure?

Ayurve is a boutique salon in the CBD, which opened in May 2001. Our Brazilian Waxing expert has been doing it for over 5 years, and have a total of 12 years experience in beauty, massage and aromatherapy.

Why do women do it?

What it really boils down to are three things:
It makes sex better.
It feels fresher and is more hygienic.
It makes you feel like a powerful, sensual Goddess!
