​What areas are waxed in this service?

 

A standard Brazilian wax is the removal of hair from the entire genitalia, including the pelvic region above the shaft and between the hips, about 2" below the belly button. All hairs on the scrotum and about an inch between the legs are also removed. The service normally ends with removing hair from inside the buttocks (the anal area).  I use both strip wax and blue hard wax, and I will explain about these waxes during intake.  I offer two types of Brazilian wax options to make it simple. They are the Bare It All Brazilian Waxing and the Gentleman's Brazilian Waxing services. You can read about these options and other services on my Menu of Services

 

 

Will Waxing Be Painful?

 

Everyone experiences pain differently. It depends on their tolerance.  The anatomy of the genitalia has areas that are more sensitive than others due to a multitude of nerve endings. As a specialized waxing expert, I know how to wax all areas to minimize pain and discomfort.  When the hairs are pulled, the pain is quick, temporary, and generally does not linger.  A first-time waxing can be somewhat intense, and you may have anxieties about the pain associated. You don't know what to expect, and the anticipation can cause anxiety.  This is all very understandable. I look forward to the new-to-waxing clients to assure them that they are with someone whom they can trust with years of experience.  What I hear after their first Brazilian is that it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be.  Many of my clients came to me for their first time waxing, and some are still seeing me after several years.  I will talk you through the entire process and will coach you to breathe properly and to relax your body. Once you start to relax, the process feels less intense and less painful.  After the first couple of pulls, you will begin to understand the process, and this will ease your anticipation. 

 

 

What should I do to prepare for my Brazilian?

 

It's important to be impeccably clean in your genitalia and rectal area, as bacteria can spread to open pores, resulting in an infection. Please do not shower less than 3 hours before your service. Wax will not adhere to moist skin, and just-showered skin holds moisture.  Please do not use any kind of talc or prescription ointment before your appointment.  For first timers, please do not use a body scrub or exfoliant (loofa or granular products) up to 4 days prior. Waxing is an exfoliation of hair and impacts the first dermal layer of your skin. It is microscopic. Do not tan your skin 3 days before waxing. Do not apply any creams or lotions on the day of service.  Please read the section called Information About Waxing. Not everyone can be waxed if on certain medications, particularly strong blood thinners.  I have a page on Contraindications and Warnings.  This page lists most medications and autoimmune skin conditions that would prevent you from being waxed. Please read this page, as it may apply to you before booking your appointment.  If you have chronic eczema or psoriasis in your genitalia area, you may want to consult your doctor to see if waxing is an option for you. Most of these autoimmune skin conditions do fine with waxing, but it can result in an outbreak, and we can discuss this during intake.  I am experienced enough to avoid waxing over inflamed areas of the skin, including any lesions, but do not come to me if you have any rashes or cuts in the area we will be waxing. Please consult with me if you have any skin growths, large moles, or skin tags, so I can wax around those areas.  If you have itching or redness anywhere within that area, please avoid waxing and see a healthcare professional to assess your condition. 

 

 

What can I expect with my first Brazilian waxing? 

 

Gloves are worn throughout the whole process. All equipment and tools are cleaned and sanitized using both liquid sanitizer and UV lighting for your protection and under WA State safety and sanitation guidelines. You will be lying on my treatment table on top of the procedure paper, much like at the doctor's office.  There is no draping during the procedure. I have an electric treatment bed that allows me to work at different heights during the service. I will coach you through the entire process and check in with you regarding your comfort. I will provide you with post-waxing instructions for the best self-care while your skin heals.  All the products I use are made with natural ingredients. You will be advised to purchase the PFB Vanish Wild Peppermint post-waxing cream. Please visit my page Products, which will explain the cream used for 3 days post-waxing to help reduce redness, bumps, and any irritation. It truly helps to calm, soothe, heal, and hydrate all the waxed areas.

 

 

How long should the hair be for waxing? 

​

Removing the hair with wax is best achieved when the hair is more than 1/4″ in growth. 1/2″ growth is ideal. Your shortest hairs within a square inch area should be longer than 1/4".  Hair must be able to lie flat by the wax; anything shorter will likely not be removed. Do not shave or trim before your waxing appointment.  I will trim extremely long hair before the service begins.  Never shave or trim between waxing appointments, as this interferes with the growth cycle, and you will never achieve smooth results, as hairs will continue surfacing under the skin. The best results for hair-free skin that lasts longer happen after the 4th or 5th consecutive treatments. 

 

 

How soon will the hair grow back, and what about maintenance? 

 

This all depends on your hair growth. After your first waxing, hairs may grow a bit faster than in subsequent waxes because your hairs are growing individually, and some hairs have not even reached the surface on the day of your waxing service.  It takes 4 to 5 waxing sessions for your skin to become used to the process, and your hair should release much more easily. More hair will grow out simultaneously, so you can stay hair-free for longer between maintenance appointments. You will possibly notice re-growth in 10 to 14 days. By the 4th or 5th maintenance waxing (done approximately every 4 to 6 weeks), you will notice that your hair is finer and less dense.  Some have reported that continued Brazilian waxing has decreased the amount and thickness of the hair in general.  Maintenance waxing is ideal as hairs will be pulled while they are still thin, shorter, and not at full thickness; therefore, they will be less resistant, and the overall procedure will become less uncomfortable.

 

 

Why do men do Brazilians, and for what reasons? 

 

A Brazilian can be done for many reasons to reduce chaffing for sports such as cycling, motorcycling, climbing, swimming, running, dancing, performance arts, martial arts, art posing, etc. Other reasons can be personal and or better hygiene. Removing hair from your genitalia increases the circulation of air, which reduces sweating and odor. Whatever your reason, the results of waxing will leave you feeling soft, more confident, and smoother for weeks. 

 

 

What concerns should I have during my waxing?

Many things can cause concern, apprehension, and possible embarrassment during this service.  You will be exposing your lower body during the entire procedure. I am a professionally trained esthetician, and coming to me is no different than seeing your doctor.  Manipulation and stretching of your skin is necessary for the application and removal of the wax, along with tweezing leftover broken or resistant hair. Hair is like a rubber band when being pulled out by the root; it stretches and sometimes breaks at the surface. Mia takes the time to remove those broken hairs. You will hardly feel any discomfort, as your skin is desensitized from the hair removal process. Oil is applied to remove residual wax. The application of the warm wax is spread onto the stretched skin, and with quick action, the hair is removed. Occasionally, for some men, tumescence may occur and subside. I use a gauze pad to apply any oils. We can discuss your concerns at intake, before your service. This procedure is for mature male adults who understand that at this establishment, waxing is strictly a means to remove hair from the skin. There is NO massage of any kind done at Simply Mia's.

​

What is considered inappropriate?

 

Lewd or suggestive conversations, texts, emails, photos, or phone calls are considered harassment. To do so is considered highly disrespectful, and calls may be monitored and reported.  Waxing and its procedure are strictly done for hair removal in a professional and clinical environment.  I am not a licensed massage therapist (different licenses).  If, at any point, I feel uncomfortable, disrespected, or unsafe, you will be asked to pay for the service and to leave immediately, and you will forfeit any future visits.  I have the right to refuse services to anyone for any reason. I have monitored surveillance surrounding my home. 

 

 

Here are reasons for considering visiting Simply Mia's waxing services...

 

Finding a good, reputable, and experienced esthetician can be difficult. Many spas do not offer Brazilian waxing for men.  I am the only one providing services at Simply Mia's.  I have many clients on maintenance who have regular appointments booked with me in advance. I can only get new clients in on my earliest availability. Once you are on maintenance, you will have no problems booking an appointment to accommodate your schedule. You will find me to be very professional and personable. I will always greet you at the front door and attend to you immediately.  You will be coming to a safe, private, and peaceful place. My treatment room is warm, comfortable, and inviting. Relaxing music plays in the background. Everyone is welcome to Simply Mia's. I am LGBTQ-friendly.

What Mia hopes to experience with new clients:

 

I love engaging with new clients and always have fun chatting with them during services. For more information on the process of waxing, please go to my page, Waxing Process and Information.  As a new client, you can rest assured that you will always receive consistent and quality services from me. I encourage my clients to address their concerns during intake.  We can always alter and customize your service to meet your needs and goals. I give post-waxing instructions that I have created with simple instructions to follow every time you are waxed, so you get the best results and avoid irritation.  These instructions have important information to help heal your skin after waxing and maintain your skin before your next treatment.  Imagine not having to shave or trim anymore.  No more itching from rough, nubby growth. You can ditch those habits and commit to a whole new grooming routine. You deserve a spa day at Simply Mia's.

I look forward to hearing from you and having you frequent Simply Mia's Best Men's Brazilian Waxing Services, Seattle, WA
