Yes, you may feel awkward, but a great esthetician will make you feel as comfortable as possible. If you feel embarrassed, remind yourself estheticians do this professionally, and they're there to help you get the look you want, not judge you. Estheticians will first gently clean your pubic area.

The names of the different types of intimate waxes can be confusing, and many salons use the same terms in different ways. During a Hollywood wax, your technician will remove all your hair on your: pubic bone.

Because the pubic area is very sensitive, it's safest to get this treatment done by a professional. If you do wax yourself, use a product meant for the sensitive pubic area. Wash and dry your skin before you wax. Don't take a bath or shower for 24 hours after getting a Brazilian wax.

Simply, trim down your hair beforehand if it's slightly long to make the waxing experience more comfortable. Your therapist will take care of the rest. Also, remember that with regular waxing your hair will soon begin to feel thinner and sparser unlike shaving, which can leave the hair feeling stubbly, thick and itchy.
