Cleise / Brazilian Day Spa

Brazilians women are renowned for bikini wearing of daring dental-floss dimensions. This obsession begins on the beach and ends somewhere atop a bejeweled float at the Rio Carnival, where women spray their naked bodies gold and wear only a thin string of sequins as a bikini bottom. A true wax takes it all away, leaving just a tiny strip of closely-shorn hair in the front.

The Brazilian method has devotees, who are addicted to the sensuous and aesthetic result. Cleise’s devoted clients say her Brazilian wax makes them feel fresher, powerful, feminine, and a true sensual goddess!

For the bikini wax, the client must undress from the waist down and change into disposable underwear provided by the Spa. The table is covered with a paper sheet, sticks and tools used are disposable and never re-used during your wax. Cleise uses only HARD WAX on the bikini area, doing away with painful strips to tear off the hair. The result? Much less pain than with traditional waxing methods. Her waxing method surrounds each hair in the follicle, providing a deeper and more-effective waxing. And the removed hair takes longer to grow back.

BIKINI REGULAR — $ 45-50

Let hair grow out 2 to 3 weeks, or about a quarter of an inch before waxing.
Exfoliate the areas that will be waxed 1 day before your appointment with a body scrub, followed with baby oil to soften the hair follicle.
Let your aesthetician know of any medications you are taking.
If you have never had a bikini wax and you are getting married, we strongly advise you to get you first bikini wax at least 60 days before the wedding's date and the next one a week before the wedding date.
If you have shaved recently, please allow at least 3 weeks of hair growth before your first appointment.
Do not tan on the week of your waxing appointment.
If you are on your menstrual cycle, please wear a tampon. Please note that you may be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
Ibuprofen or Advil is good for its anti-inflammatory effects.
Do not shave or trim the hair. We have the appropriate tools to trim the hair to the desired length.
Do not apply any body lotion from your waist down. The skin needs to be dry and free of any moisturizing products.
Try to get your waxing early in the morning before your skin gets clammy from exercise or just running around.
Stay out for the sun 24 hours before and after your waxing appointment.
You are more sensitive before your period, so try to schedule waxing a few days after.

Post-care recommendations

Do not tan for at least 24 hours.
Do not apply any product for the next 2 hours.
Do not wear tight underwear, jeans or other tight clothing.
Apply cold compresses to the area if necessary (put ice cubes in a moistened wash cloth and apply to the area).
Do not "pick" or try to get an ingrown hair. If necessary, contact our aesthetician and we will take care of any ingrowns or you can also book a Bikini Facial.
On weeks 1 and 3 after your appointment, apply a "chemical exfoliant" to the area if you are prone to ingrown hair (you will be advised by our aesthetician).
Do not take a hot bath or shower. Warm to cool temperature water is recommended for the next 24 hours.
It is strongly recommended that you do not go past 6 weeks before your next waxing appointment.
Apply a first aid antibiotic gel with pain relief like Neosporin or Hydrocortisone after the waxing as needed.

Problems Associated with Waxing

What causes ingrown hair?

Genetics – some individuals are simply are prone to ingrown hair. The aesthetician/technician should be consulted for follow-up care. This may include some type of exfoliation or topical treatments.

An un-skilled aesthetician/technician - he or she must be careful to remove the wax in the opposite direction of the hair growth while pulling the wax very close to the skin surface. If the wax is removed in the wrong direction or is pulled up instead of close to the skin, the client’s hair may be more prone to unsightly ingrowns.

Client error – the client must avoid tight-fitting clothing after waxing. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hair. The client should apply some type exfoliating product to keep the dead skin build up from accumulating 24-48 hours after waxing.

Weakened Hair - As the client continues with waxing, the hair will begin to weaken and thin. This may produce a temporary tendency to ingrown hairs. The client should continue to use an exfoliating product as recommended by the aesthetician.

Some Clients complain of water bumps or pustules after waxing. Why is that? - This is to be expected, particularly on the client’s first-ever bikini waxing treatments and their impact on the sebaceous glands. Other reasons may be related to overheated wax or improper removal.
