WAXING SERVICES
At V’s Skin studio, we offer waxing services from head to toe!
CLIENT TESTIMONY
I’ve been going to Val for about 2 years now for my Brazilian waxes including a little “cheating moment” within that period. I realized fast as soon as I went to another esti that Val is different - in the BEST way possible. Not only is she personable and easy to talk to, she does her job thoroughly. She cares and wants to make sure her clients are getting the best service. She is knowledgeable in her expertise and is willing to answer any question that may arise. Love that we can have such casual natural small talk while I’m getting waxed. LOVE LOVE LOVE VAL! Go to her if you’re debating where to go…

BODY WAXING
Hair needs to be 1/4” long (about 10-14 days worth of hair growth). Anything shorter may not be lifted by the wax, and anything longer may be more painful.
Lightly exfoliate 24 hours prior to your service (avoid any harsh scrubs or chemicals— dry brushing or a washcloth works well). Taking a warm bath the night before your wax will help soften the skin.
Taking a pain reliever 30-minutes prior to your appointment will help with any soreness.
Please shower the day of your service.
If you are using Accutane/Isotretinoin — you cannot be waxed at this time! Please wait six months after your last dose to schedule an appointment.
If you are undergoing chemotherapy — you cannot be waxed at this time! Please wait six months after your last treatment to schedule your appointment.

Ever wondered what the benefits of a Brazilian Wax actually are? Let's chat about it.
1. Less irritation! Shaving can increase your risk of cuts, bumpiness and redness (we've all had a bad experience with razor burn sometime in our lives!) Although you may be susceptible to redness and temporary bumpiness after your wax, it significantly reduces the risk of cuts, bumpiness and overall irritation.
2. Reduces ingrown hairs. Shaving often results in ingrown hairs due to shaving in the wrong direction. Waxing can reduce that risk by pulling your hair out from the root, leaving the skin smooth- without ingrown hairs. Now, some people still get ingrown hairs no matter what! That's why maintenance care between waxing is so important!
3. Long lasting and less hair growth over time: Wax pulls hair out from the root, so you’ll stay smooth for longer than you would with a razor. Eventually, the hair grows back — but a Brazilian wax can keep you hair-free for two - three weeks. AND if you wax repeatedly, the hair often starts to grow back softer and thinner. Over time, waxing will be easier and less painful, and you may be able to go longer between sessions.
4. Waxing can boost your confidence! This can help you feel more comfortable in your body or like you have a sexy little secret that only you (and possibly your partner) know. If waxing makes you feel more confident, all the more reason to do it.
““Brazilians are my most popular body waxing service that I provide year-round (bikini being second-running). It is very important for me to be a provider women can trust to get waxed by, and not feel awkward or uncomfortable during the service.””
