Normally, they start out with a thicker wax (chocolate brown) and each wax gets thinner and thinner, the last one being the finest (lavender blue). It is then always followed up by plucking some remaining hairs. Again, to me it's not that painful, but I may not be the best one to ask. To me, it's quick pain. Once it's over, it's over. I do know that strips are far more painful, so try and avoid that. I just feel so fresh when walking out!<br /><br />The only thing I don't like is that it is another thing to pay for, but I would choose this over nails any day. I go about once every 5-6 weeks.<br /><br />By the way, I don't live in the US, but in Europe, but I go to a salon that is run by a Brazilian lady. As I said, I go for full Brazilians as well, and I think they know how to do it best.Lise Bonettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-48577505723191687492015-07-18T17:04:08.095-04:002015-07-18T17:04:08.095-04:00Thanks for sharing!

Otherwise it will be more painful. For the following appointments, this is not necessary though. I'm a waxer all the way, also down there and I've never looked back. Like you, I always had a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow with shaving and I just wanted that gone. It's all so smooth now, I love it! <br /><br /><br />For me, it wasn't particularly painful, not more than you would expect with waxing. But I have noticed that I deal with pain quite well compared to others. I've had stitches without an anesthetic, and things like getting braces tightened never hurt me as much as I heard from others. So maybe that has somehting to do with it.Lise Bonettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-45188001963537788082014-05-12T16:49:54.677-04:002014-05-12T16:49:54.677-04:00Tequila....lots of tequila. lol :D Glad you are ...Tequila....lots of tequila. lol :D Glad you are pleased with the results.

Before I went, people were raving about it so I was a little shocked at the experience, but I definitely think it was more so the esthetician and not the company itself.

I had a realllly good experience both times. The first time I went I was with other girls who had had their eyebrows done before and they said their experience was MUCH better at the European Wax Center. I think with a better esthetician you'll find it to be a much better experience :)Madisonhttp://wetherillssayido.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-33631135566695078682014-05-09T10:09:10.852-04:002014-05-09T10:09:10.852-04:00That looks too much like torture to me! :) Ouch!...That looks too much like torture to me! :) Ouch!

I have tried on my own and failed. I do my brows and lip and the lip is the worst pain so far. I want to get my chin but that scares me for the pain but I think she definitely wasn't a "pro" from experience because you're not supposed to continue to reapply and wax the same area over and over.
