Yes, a Brazilian wax does include the inner lips. After doing a Brazilian wax ourselves, we can confirm that a true Brazilian wax aims to remove all hair from the front, back, and everything in between. This includes the more delicate areas like the inner lips.
In order to effectively access all the areas in which your pubic hair grows, your technician will need you completely naked from the waist down. Once your clothes have been placed to the side, you will be laid on a table, knees bent in what's known as the butterfly position.
What is a Brazilian wax? A Brazilian wax is a waxing service that completely removes pubic hair from the front, upper thighs, and butt. Based on your personal preference, you can leave a small strip of hair, a triangle, or square on the front. Brazilian waxing is for all genders at European Wax Center.

Long lasting: Wax pulls hair out from the root, so you'll stay smooth longer than you would with a razor. A Brazilian wax can keep you hair-free for three or four weeks. (At that point, it'll be time for a repeat visit to your waxer.)
The procedure involves removing all of the hair from the pubic area, including the labia and anus. While Brazilian waxing is generally safe, there are potential side effects, including pain, redness, and ingrown hair. If you don't find the right esthetician, you may feel embarrassed.
Will I have to get on all fours to have a Brazilian wax? No, NOT AT ALL!
Loose & comfortable is the way to go! Just-waxed skin is always a bit more sensitive. Wearing loose, thin clothing won't irritate your skin like restrictive or thick, stiff fabrics will. Let your skin breathe!
If you stick to these guidelines, you won't have to worry about how much to tip for a bikini wax on your next spa day. Start at the baseline industry standard of 15-20% of the cost of your bikini wax. Feel free to tip at the lower end of this if your service was not up to your standards.
This is why the best thing to do when it comes to bikini waxing is to book a wax appointment at a professional salon or spa. Timing your appointment: You will want to schedule your Brazilian wax appointment at least 2-3 days before your trip to give any redness or sensitivity you may get enough time to dissipate.
Absolutely, as long as you wear a tampon or menstrual cup to your appointment. A pad won't be sufficient protection, as you'll be required to strip down for your Brazilian wax.
Don't worry, it happens! Most erections that occur during a Brazilian waxing service have nothing to do with sexual arousal.
What is the Butterfly position in Brazilian wax positions? Okay, so the “butterfly position” in Brazilian waxing sounds fancy, but it's actually pretty simple. Imagine lying down on your back, like you're chilling on the couch, and just bring your knees up and together, so the soles of your feet touch. That's it!
A typical Brazilian wax includes the removal of all hair from the pubic region—from the front of the pubic bone to the labia, to the inner thighs, and lastly, to the area around the anus (Obst, 2019). It offers a completely bare-down-there look.
Ingrown Hairs & Irritation: Brazilian waxes can come with some unpleasant (or even painful) side effects like ingrown hairs, skin redness and irritation without the proper preparation or after-care.
Kopelman said it's perfectly fine to give your skin more time to heal. And yes, this waiting period applies to oral sex, too. Your partner's skin, facial hair, or even slight stubble can irritate your sensitive, freshly waxed skin.
What positions will I need to adopt?! For a Brazilian wax, you'll be reclined on a couch, either flat on your back or with the headrest up.
Wax Off - From End to Root
Remove the wax strip immediately after application. Grab the edge of the wax strip, and pull it off with a quick motion in the opposite direction of the hair's growth - from the ends toward the roots. Be sure to hold the skin taut with your other hand while pulling the wax away.
*There are many different positions that can be adopted to carry out a Hollywood and Hollywood wax, but we know from our extensive experience that the “chest hugging” positioning works by far the best for both the client and the therapist, assuming that the client is sufficiently mobile.
"Patients tell me that the most painful areas for waxing are also the most sensitive, especially in the pubic area," Dr. Ciraldo says. Hair around the genitals and bikini line tends to be thicker than on other areas of the body, requiring more force to yank, thus, causing more pain.
Pinpoint Bleeding happens when hairs are removed from the root, not just broken at the surface. It's common with coarse hair after a Brazilian or underarm wax. The best part? It's a good sign!
Speedo Wax
Similar to the Bikini Wax, this removes any hair visible around the Speedo area.
Keep Your Hands to Yourself: Refrain from touching the waxed area for a day to prevent bacteria from entering sensitive skin. Chill Out: Avoid heat, sweat, and friction for at least 24 hours after waxing.
FRENCH WAX
This waxing style removes a significant portion of hair from the front, including the more intimate areas. What sets the French Wax apart is that it leaves behind a distinctive 'landing strip' on top, adding a touch of flair to an otherwise smooth front.
