We wax everything from your BROWS to your TOES!! Here at A BETTER YOU we truly believe in the philosophy that less is more and that definitely applies to excessive hair.
A BETTER YOU uses only the finest wax. Hard wax is used for all facial, bikini and underarm services. Hard wax will not stick to the skin making it ideal for those sensitive areas. Cream wax is used for all other waxing services and contains many soothing properties, minimizing discomfort. We specialize in waxing; our operators have received training in Las Vegas from renowned waxing professionals.
- Bikini/Brazilian Waxing -
We recommend bikini and Brazilian waxes every three to four weeks. Waxing done consistently reduces discomfort and keeps you virtually hair free all of the time. You will receive 50% off all bikini and Brazilian waxes when booked consistently every three to four weeks apart.
Regular Bikini Wax $25
Removes the hair outside the panty line.
When to choose: If it's your first bikini wax, or are just looking for a clean up.
Bikini Wax
Takes the sides of the bikini line deeper than a regular bikini wax, and can also include waxing some hair on top to make a more defined ‘triangle’ area.
You still want to keep hair, but want more definition than a clean-up.
•French Bikini Wax: Takes all hair off the in the front (except a small strip) and continues to right before the back. It doesn't take hair off from the back like a Brazilian (see below).
You want the area basically pretty smooth with most hair removed, but don't want to take any hair away from your behind.
•Brazilian Bikini Wax: Takes all hair off the bikini line, front all the way to the back (yes by your bum). Sometimes a small strip or triangle is left in the front.
When to choose: The perfect option if you wear a thong bikini, or want to be completely or almost hairless in front and back.

What is a Brazilian?
A Brazilian wax is a type of bikini wax. With a Brazilian wax, the hair from the vulva (outer and inner labia), perineum, anus and buttocks is completely removed. A strip of hair (in the shape of a strip or triangle) may be left on the front.
Where did Brazilian waxing come from?
As the name suggests, Brazilian waxing originated from Brazil for women who wanted to wear the new thong bikinis. Brazilian wax became famous when it was introduced into the US when a hair removal salon called J. Sisters International Salon was opened in 1987. J. Sisters International Salon was opened in Manhattan, New York by seven Brazilian sisters Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, Janea, Jussara, Juracy and Judseia Padilha.
What types of Brazilian waxes are there?
The most common types of Brazilian waxes are the standard Brazilian (or G-wax) and full Brazilian (Hollywood). With a standard Brazilian wax or G-wax, a small line or vertical strip of hair is left above the vulva. This small line or vertical strip of hair is commonly known as the ‘landing strip’. With a full Brazilian wax or Hollywood wax (also known as ’sphynx’), all hair is completely removed.
Hot tips before waxing
- Taking a warm shower before your Brazilian wax session will make you more comfortable and helps to open the pores aiding in easier removal of the hair.
- Try to schedule your Brazilian wax session a week after menstruation as the genital area is least sensitive.
- To make you feel less sensitive during your Brazilian wax session, try to avoid caffeine, stress and nicotine. Be sure to have lots of sleep so that you can relax
Hot tips after waxing.
- Apply a hair inhibitor to slow the regrowth of hair. Hair inhibitors can last up to two months.
- Apply soothing lotion to the waxed areas. Soothing lotion usually contains aloe vera and chamomile.
- Regular exfoliation (two - three times per week) helps to remove dead skin and avoids ingrown hairs.
- Moisturize the area with tea tree or lavender lotion after every shower as this has a soothing, healing and antibacterial effect.
Avoid the following for at least 24 hours after your Brazilian wax session:
- heat sources, such as saunas, steam rooms, sun and heavy exercise
- exfoliating products such as AHA's and scrubs and loofas
- tight clothing
- avoid hot baths/showers or sexual activity for 10 hours after a Brazilian wax session as your pores are open and vulnerable to irritation and infection.
How long does it last?
The results from a Brazilian wax may last between 3 to 6 weeks depending on your hair regrowth rate. Growth of hair is usually minimal during the first two weeks and noticeably increases in the third and fourth weeks. Hair growth is usually quicker in the summer months as heat stimulates hair growth. The length of time between treatments also increases with regular waxing.
