Kristie owns and manages Cranberries Spa, a cozy boutique style spa located in the heart of downtown Vancouver. She's dedicated to providing outstanding customer service and a great workplace for her staff.
Cranberries services include: facials, massage, body scrubs, waxing, Brazilian (male and female) waxing, pedicures, manicures, gel nails, gel polish and body bronzing.
Very seldom is a copywriter given license to incorporate terminology like "back, crack & sac" in her work, but Kristie used it in her presentation, so this word nerd sees an opportunity here and chooses to run with it.
(Can I get a "tee-hee"?) Hey, whatever our euphemism of choice for waxing body hair, especially in rather intimate regions, there's no denying its advantages.
With summer fast approaching (so we hope, anyway) many of us are tempted to "go bare down there" and may consider achieving that through the application of depilatory cream. But the harsh chemicals in these products can burn sensitive skin, and, as with shaving, hair is only removed from the skin's surface, so that silky look and feel is short-lived. Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair by its roots, and results can last 3 - 5 weeks. With each subsequent treatment, regrowth is sparser, hair is finer, and pain is diminished.
So, does waxing (particularly of the Brazilian / Boyzilian variety) hurt? "Well, it doesn't tickle," Kristie says candidly. But with her many years' experience and the quality of hard wax she uses, clients feel a quick sting and then it's over. Kristie also advises taking ibuprofen and drinking apple juice (high in ascorbic acid) before your appointment to reduce sensitivity. In addition, trim hairs to about 1/4 inch and exfoliate the area to be treated.
And while it may be tempting to spike that apple juice with Stoli, don't do it. Alcohol thins the blood and will make the skin more sensitive, as will caffeine.
