Brazilian Waxing Benefits - May 15, 2012 – 11:19 am

If you prefer a hair free bikini area, a Brazilian bikini wax from European Wax Center is the optimal choice. During a Brazilian bikini wax you can have hair removed from the front, back, and everything in between. Whether we only remove hair from the sides or remove everything but a front strip, what makes a Brazilian wax a Brazilian is the removal of hair from the back or bottom strip area.

No matter what style you choose, the Brazilian bikini has many benefits over other hair removal methods:

1. Get the hard to reach places. Some areas of the body are tough to shave because of the curves, and there are other areas of the body you simply can’t reach. With Brazilian bikini waxing there’s no struggle to reach or any chance of cutting yourself.

2. Long lasting effects. Brazilian bikini waxing removes hairs from the root, giving you smooth skin for 3-4 weeks! Compare that to shaving which lasts 1-2 days and you can easily see the time you’ll save.

3. Avoid unsightly ingrown hairs. The bikini area is prone to ingrown hairs, especially if you shave. Soft and sensitive skin coupled with the sharp edge of a shaved hair is asking for trouble. With waxing, ingrown hairs are less likely because the end of your hair is thin and dull.

Call European Wax Center today to schedule your Brazilian bikini waxing!

Ingrown Hairs On Your Chin? - May 10, 2012 – 10:12 am

Besides chin hair being embarrassing, it is also prone to becoming ingrown. Since chin hairs can be coarse and thick, depending on how they are removed they can often grow back into the skin. The only thing worse than hair on your chin is an ingrown hair that leaves a blemish and possibly a scar! Here are the best ways to avoid ingrown chin hair:

  • Wax away unwanted hair. Chin waxing allows you to lift hair from the follicle so that when it grows back the end of your hair will be the thinnest part, making it less likely to grow into the skin and reducing your risk of ingrown hairs. Plus as an added bonus, you will be free of unwanted chin hairs for 3-4 weeks.
  • Don’t tweeze. When you tweeze thick chin hairs it is easy to break the hair off. If you break hair it causes the end to be sharp and the chance of getting ingrown hairs increases because the sharp edge of the hair can pierce the skin easier.
  • Exfoliate often. Regular removal of dead skin cells has been proven to help prevent ingrown hairs because it keeps the hair pointing upwards. We recommend the European Wax Center Post Waxing Exfoliate, which is gentle enough to use from head to toe. When exfoliating be sure to wax all areas of your chin including the underside which is often more sensitive and prone to ingrown hairs.
  • Apply EWC’s exclusive Ingrown Hair Serum. When applied on a daily basis European Wax Center’s Ingrown Hair Serum will keep you free of ingrown hairs. By using glycolic acid instead of alcohol, this product will eat away at dead skin while still keeping your skin hydrated.

If you are considering chin waxing, call your local European Wax Center for a reservation. We offer a full range of body and facial waxing services that you can mix and match as needed. With more than 190 locations nationwide, we have you covered for waxing from Miami to Los Angeles and just about everywhere in between!

  • Methacrylic Acid. By using a small amount of this ingredient, Shape IT holds the stray and unruly hairs in place.
  • Aloe Leaf Extract. This moisturizes and soothes the eyebrow hair while giving the eyebrows a little shine. In addition to holding hairs in place and giving it shine, this ingredient treats the hair.

So where we haven’t been taking care of hair in the past, we now can moisturize and treat the hair using Shape It. You will find that if you have light colored or thin eyebrows, you will start to see the eyebrow hair begin to fill in as well as look darker and healthier.

Everybody should be using this product, and not just for the hold and shine. Why not pick up this exclusive product for healthier brows on your next trip to European Wax Center?

Waxing Myth Debunked: Waxing Does Not Discolor Your Skin - May 1, 2012 – 10:49 am

The myth that waxing can change the pigmentation of your skin is FALSE. Like many of the wax myths out there, this fabrication came to being based on partial truths in limited situations. However, technically speaking your skin’s pigmentation is genetically pre-determined and no manner of hair removal could ever alter it.

The small grain of truth behind this myth is that after waxing your skin can become more sensitive to sunlight. Waxing exfoliates the top layers of skin, leaving skin more vulnerable to the sun and tanning beds. So, if you do sunbathe directly after waxing you are more likely to get sun damage and dark spots later on in life. Click here to read our blog on best practices for sun bathing after waxing.

The good news is that the benefits of exfoliating far outweigh the negatives (that is if you really consider having to avoid sunbathing for 24 hours a negative). By exfoliating the top layer of skin you keep your skin healthy, soft, and looking young. Buffing away the outer layer of dead skin cells will also help you to keep your pores clean and unclogged, preventing blackheads, whiteheads and acne.

So not only does waxing NOT have any impact on the pigmentation of your skin, it can greatly improve the health and appearance of your largest bodily organ. To see the results for yourself call European Wax Center today to schedule a reservation and get on the path to smooth radiant skin.

Hard Wax versus Soft Wax - April 24, 2012 – 9:37 am

There are two types of wax commonly used to remove unwanted hair: soft and hard. Soft strip wax has a low melting point, spreads thinly and has to be removed quickly with a woven strip cloth before the wax cools. This type of wax is very adhesive and not recommended for sensitive skin. European Wax Center’s exclusive hard wax is alcohol free and blended from the world’s finest polymers with 100% natural beeswax to give you smoother, pain-free results. The wax is applied at body temperature and once cooled becomes pliable. The wax is removed by your licensed Wax Specialist quickly leaving you with smooth, soft skin.

Our hard wax is the best because:

  • It is great for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The wax was formulated to shrink wrap around your hair and not stick to the skin Because it doesn’t adhere to the skin, the chance of irritation, such as redness and bumps, is greatly reduced.
  • It doesn’t contain alcohol. Alcohol causes hard wax to become brittle when left to dry too long. This can cause the wax to break during removal, resulting in hair breakage and painful hair pulling.
  • European Wax Center wax is hypoallergenic. It does not contain any fragrance or synthetic oils.
  • It is gentler on the skin than soft wax as it reduces the force necessary to pull out the hair.

Come in today to experience the results of our Comfort Wax for yourself!

Painful Leg Shaving is a Thing of the Past - April 19, 2012 – 10:24 am

Shaving your legs in the shower daily is time consuming, distracting, and takes a lot of patience… If you are anything like I was four years ago, you’ve been shaving your legs so long you have forgotten about:

  • The Prep time involved. Before shaving, you have to exfoliate your skin, then soak your legs in warm water to open up pores for a smoother shave, then apply a shaving cream or lotion in a thick enough layer so the razor can glide over your legs.
  • Steady and Gentle. Shaving your legs requires a steady hand and yoga-like flexibility to get the razor smoothly behind the knees, and in other more sensitive key places.

Why go through all that pain and time when European Wax Center’s leg waxing is convenient, efficient, longer-lasting, and better for your skin? Call European Wax Center today to schedule a reservation. Don’t forget, if it’s your first time visiting us, you can get a complimentary bikini, underarm, or eyebrow waxing, in addition to your leg waxing!
