What is a Brazilian wax?
A Brazilian wax removes most of the hair from the intimate area while leaving a small strip or triangle at the front.
Hair is removed from:
✓ The sides of the bikini area
✓ The labia
✓ Between the legs
✓ The bum areaA small amount of hair is left at the front and can be shaped neatly.
If you want absolutely everything removed, a Hollywood wax is the better choice.

Nervous about your first Brazilian wax?
This is probably the biggest thing clients worry about.
You will need to remove your underwear for parts of the treatment, but we'll keep things professional and straightforward and tell you where we need you to move or position yourself.
There is no judgement and no need to feel embarrassed. Intimate waxing is a normal part of our working day.
And yes — the first wax can be uncomfortable. We're not going to tell you that you won't feel it.
But we work efficiently, use professional Harley Wax and try to make the treatment as quick and comfortable as we can.
▣ Before your Brazilian wax
• A patch test is required before waxing at Freya. If it has been more than 6 months since your last waxing appointment with us, you’ll need a new patch test before your treatment.
• Leave enough hair growth for the wax to grip properly. If you’re unsure, don’t trim it too short before your appointment.
• Gently exfoliate the area before your wax.
• Avoid heavy lotions, oils or heavily fragranced products on the area on the day of your appointment.
• Let us know if you are taking medication or using skincare that may make your skin more sensitive.

A Hollywood wax removes all of the hair from the front, underneath and back. We use professional Harley Wax and work efficiently so the treatment is done properly without dragging it out.
If it’s your first Hollywood wax, you may find it more uncomfortable than someone who waxes regularly, but we’ll guide you through it as we go.
♡ Aftercare
• Your skin may look red or feel warm immediately after waxing.
• Avoid hot baths, saunas, swimming, intense exercise and excessive heat for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid perfumed or heavily fragranced products on the waxed area while the skin is settling.
• Moisturise the area regularly.
• Once the skin has settled, exfoliate around once a week to help reduce ingrown hairs.
How long does a Brazilian wax last?
Most of our regular Hollywood waxing clients book around every 6–8 weeks, although everyone’s hair growth is different.
If you have been shaving, your first few waxes can have hair growing at different stages. As you continue waxing regularly, your appointments usually become easier to maintain.

What's the difference between a Brazilian and Hollywood wax?
