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.

Depending on your experience and how happy you are with the service and the wax itself, 15%-20% is industry standard average tip for a Brazilian wax.

After your hair removal waxing appointment, avoid taking a shower. A post-depilatory lotion will be used by your esthetician to clean the region they waxed; this will remove any wax residue, calm the skin, and keep the area clean for some time.

Taking Advil or Ibuprofen before any wax service can help minimize the pain. The Changes Estheticians recommend taking a half hour before your appointment for best results. Taking a painkiller prior to your appointment may reduce any mild swelling that might come about from the waxing.

Moisturize Skin Before Waxing

Moisturize well on the days leading up to your appointment. Healthy, well-moisturized skin allows the wax to release more easily. Too much moisturizer could coat the hair and interfere with the wax's grip, so avoid moisturizing on the day of your waxing session.

A Brazilian wax does include the inner lips along with other areas such as the bikini line, front, backside, and perineum. This thorough hair removal method ensures you feel smooth and clean all over. At Sugar Me Smooth, our at-home sugar wax kits are designed to handle these sensitive areas with care and efficiency.

Does Brazilian wax make you wet? ›

As for whether Brazilian waxing makes you wet, there is no definitive answer. Some women say that the sensation of having their pubic hair removed is arousing, while others find it to be uncomfortable. If you're considering getting a Brazilian wax, we suggest you do some research to see if it's right for you.

Both sugaring and waxing can be great forms of hair removal if you're looking for lasting results. There's no clear “winner” between the two, because it's ultimately down to preference. Those with sensitive skin types might prefer sugaring because of its gentler nature and more natural formulation.

It's important to note that the results vary from person to person. Some people may notice a significant reduction in hair growth after six months to a year of regular waxing, while others may take longer. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to seeing the long-term benefits of waxing.

Bikini Full wax allows you to take off as much or as little hair as you like from the front. If you want to leave a small strip, triangle, square, or nothing at all, it's up to you. A Brazilian wax goes from the front all the way to the back with an added butt strip.

European Wax Center has always used tweezers as a finishing touch post-wax to remove stray hairs.

How Much Should You Tip When Getting Your Eyebrows Done? According to celebrity brow stylist Joey Healy, tipping 20% for eyebrow services — be it waxing, threading or plucking — is the way to go. There are instances where he recommends tipping more than 20%.

Remember the golden rule: "You should tip 20% on the entire service cost, not per individual," says Schweitzer. So if your haircut and blow-dry cost $40 total, and your color was $60, your total service cost comes to $100. That means you should tip $20 divided between the colorist and stylist.

Tipping for laser hair removal is generally expected, but there may be some circ*mstances where it is not necessary or appropriate. For example, if the service was not satisfactory or if the technician was unprofessional, tipping may not be warranted.
