I had my first Brazilian at Urban Waxx, and am now completely hooked! I had always found the bare look extremely appealing, but didn't want to deal with the pain, discomfort, or aftermath (read possible burns, infection, ingrown hairs) that can be associated with waxing. Little did I know, all my worries were in vain! As for pain, the worst of it was akin to ripping off a small band-aid that had been left on for too many days, seriously. There were more AH moments, due to shock and anticipation, but never any OWIES, and no more than 1 hour after, the redness was gone and there was absolutely no residual soreness! Plus, I have had only one pain-less ingrown hair since. I attribute all this to the extensive knowledge and skill of the ladies at Urban, along with the type of wax used. Urban keeps up-to-date in the industry with their products and techniques, and for the Brazilian, hard wax as opposed to soft, strip wax, is definitely the way to go! I've gone twice, now, and both times the vibe has been very warm and inviting. If you're nervous, the ladies are wonderful at putting you to ease - talking to you throughout the entire process (which only takes about fifteen minutes)! The first time is a bit pricey in my opinion, but if you return within six weeks for a maintenance wax, it's definitely affordable.
Pros: an all-around awesome experience
Cons: I'm now addicted to being hairless...and location is a bit inconvenient for me
