Brazilian waxes were introduced in a Manhattan salon in 1987 by 7 Brazilian-born sisters, the J Sisters. In 2000, Mary Hayse brought the Brazilian wax to Peoria. The Brazilian remains a popular hair removal method in the US today. Many people who have been doing bikini waxes for years get braver and braver each time until they finally go for the Brazilian wax. A true Brazilian wax is removing all of the hair in the bikini and buttocks area. There are many variations to a Brazilian wax, and many clients ask what they should do, or what is popular. My answer to that is it is an individual preference and everyone should do what they are most comfortable with and what is aesthetically pleasing to them.
A true Brazilian is everything off. Some people don’t worry about their buttocks area, and leave that alone. One popular variation is to leave a landing strip – a rectangle at the top, but some people prefer a diamond shape at the top, referred to as a martini glass. Some people who are a little more conservative – or afraid of the pain – will leave a strip down the middle. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to a Brazilian – it’s what’s most pleasing to you.
