What is waxing?Waxing is an inexpensive, temporary method of hair removal.How does it work? The hair must be at least 1/4 inch long. A thin layer of warm wax is applied to the skin and a strip of muslin is rubbed over it. Then the muslin is quickly peeled off and it removes the hair and wax from the skin.How long does it last? You will probably want to have another waxing in three to four weeks.What are the benefits of waxing? Waxing lasts longer than shaving because it removes the entire hair. Waxing is great for those who cannot afford electrolysis or laser hair removal. It doesn’t matter what your skin type is or the color of the hair. What areas can be waxed? Common areas for women are bikini, brazilian bikini, legs, underarms, arms, eyebrows, etc. Men frequently request waxing for their backs and arms.
