My favorite should I go to envy, and good luck is my favorite, because when it's all done yeah it feels like you feel the difference. There'S a bazillion reasons to get wet, hey, hi, guys welcome back. So today I have a very social guests with me. You guys oh you're such a doll and, lastly, the output they'll be done, and I was telling you guys about my Brazilian spy. You guys have a lot of questions, and the thing I've noticed is that a lot of people are very curious about Brazilian, The Crucible waxing, but they don't really have the nerves access. So today I want to do video with Monique the owner of Brazilian babes, where I get waxed, and I want to access some of your questions in regards to waxing what are the benefits of it? It'S soft wax versus hard wax we're going to answer. All of that so, let's get started. I think I would be, I'm only come from Harlem and not on the Brazilian base and it's in Harlem I'm an esthetician I've been in skincare for about 12 years and other classes specifically as been here for six years. What made you want to start your own business? Cuz, that's really important, so this is y'all she's a flat to the minority she's, a woman, woman, no business. You know how I feel about supporting women of this right, so um. What maybe start was really a popular for waxing. I have following thing that I was popular and people are wanting me to access specifically and at the company I was working for was a little unfair for some of the other girls. So my time is up and people were coming to me personally. I need you to do this. You know, because I don't really like the way it feels is intimidating. You have the pointy ends down the front, so he won't be comfortable with the person that you're waxing way. So, of course, I can turn them away so out from Harlem the services needed up here and it just made sense for me to open. I just kind of just stumble this place on prices, and I just fix it up and home how? How does your business been open now, two years two years and counting, and I want to open up I'm working on a second location, yes, and how I met Monique by the way is I want to get my hair grow now I mean dry as a girl Of my hair was her friend she's, like my friend just opened up raw West, but you should go check her out and I love the way that she's blowing my hair. So I was like, if she's recommending me her, that she was gay and I came to see her after I had a really terrible waxing accident, which I'll do another video a lot yes and then ever since then. This is where you come and level me. Now. That'S good until the questions about waxing, but why is waxing good three more wax, if it's good for you, because it removes you here safely in that the wax that we use is a hard wax and in here Senate top layer of your year, and it pulls Out of your skin instead of pulling so waxing is good for that reason, also because it doesn't break the hair with the har vokse that we use. When you have the air breakage, it was like breakouts and engrams. Also, we see it really tough if it breaks so with the hard wax again. The last tips look and it makes the hair grow back and elastin and softer. So we want to make sure you choose in the right wax that do whether you're going to is using a wax. That is therefore your hand size, because you want to make the process easier as you go, and you want to make it. You want to make sure your skin, it's not become a sensitive to the West, like shaving the razor go and again ship skin for the interest. It makes your skin even more thing than its get in. That area already is, and it makes your sore. So, even if you don't see yourself cutlery that it's still got no layers of your skin, so now I will sing about razors how about shaving and a lot of people most women shade they shave down there. They say their bikini lines. That'S unfortunately, right so shaving, of course, is fast and it's a less expensive way of removing. Here, however, it comes with a plus B is skin care because it's the raises of razor and want obvious tend and it's making it sensitive. Also, it's breaking off. The air is making it tougher. You are not only getting like thin skin you're, getting cut you'll get in all rays of razor bumps you're, getting thick hair growth when it's growing back, so it doesn't make it easy ago, and it only lasts about three foot is back there now at the shave. It doesn't even make sense amazing versus waxing one of the pros. What are the cons waxing plus one? That'S one car, oh the roads are with waxing is way more, better. Being skin assured healthier your skin, it lasts longer. So you want to have something that you don't have to maintain every other day, relaxing maximizing the for the week. Some people take three or four depended on a wax technique. Continue in the wax and you'll ask any time before. Let'S, let's say: excuse me: let's say four to six weeks: okay, soft wax versus hard one. So, let's first talk back so glass is something that's like a money back. So one thing how you get your eyeballs on them yeah and it used a Muslim, strap. A pro to our wax from the excess off waxes, hard, wax stays on that top level of a and the air sitting here. So quest will see all the way down to your skin. So it's easy immunity burn it's easier to rip off your skin. Some people argue of stories about ripping off his skin on the hard wax. It'S not even really touching your skin for you to be able to rip somebody's skin off with our West almost impossible unless you're like putting it on too hot it ripping it really hard. But the wax of our West, doesn't you don't need to do our work, so that would happen also the soul quest can take over here anyway, meaning it doesn't come all the way out. All the time great they yeah just like a raisin can and you can get engrams with the hard wax. If you don't pull it opposite direction of the hair growth, it won't come out great thing: yes, you'll slam here there you have to go back over it. However, it's not going to break the hair to make it hard and tough and creating groans, so hard, wax prevents. Engrams makes a hit, then install them so relax and easily burn the skin can take. The skin off will break the arrow and anything else they take. Just stick it to your skin, that's my caramel and I personally feel that hard wax is not as painful as someone right. In my opinion, I just feel like the soft part hurts more and then especially they. They don't know what they're doing or they have to go over the area around your skin, which is what happened to me before I met on eBay and I prefer art but yeah how much in terms of self question and a Marquess versus sugar wax a mile Before sugar waxing now, you can to yourself at home, where you condemn service, though, when you feel the benefits of global sugar wax and again like it's similar to this so quest to be like it's still grateful to hear you don't want to do anything to remove Together, so it's going to break up there, you want to take it all the way out, so we sugar it. I don't even hear about it as much as a year of also of wax and marmax, but from sugar and it's just not. It is not going to not be a like a hard wax foot, it's still the same difference as muscle flexing arm. Now, we've explained to you guys the waxing and though we've talking about the actual process of that we're going to talk about crap. How does prep for waxing for the lot of you guys are curious about you. Guys has never done it before a lot of you guys. That'S coming heard our story, so we're going to break it down for you. First, we're going to discuss popular waxing areas, which are Brazilian, of course, SP and Brazilian young speaking class values of episode. The Brazilian is different places can different salons to be different things for us and majority of salons. Brazilian is everything new one off in a prime of the vagina area and the blood strip, not the bun sheets, with the bus strip. Now you can do anything to that position. You can make a landing strip. You can go triangle. Some people look like a French Brazilian or something like that is a French. We were a French Brazilian is usually like, even a probably quality bikini, but really you can lead to want and nothing off the bus trip. Well us any time you touch the bus trip. If the Brazilian and yes, then you just did a style and a front okay, so you can get it like that or bikini lines. Some people like bikini lines, it's just outside the beginning line. Oh that's the quote! Someone s is here, that's nervous about sitting around here and then, as you go, you can ease in some more and in all. Another popular service is around our roses, so important for people a lot of people like threading, but they also sometimes and threading, hurts yeah. So they want the waxing with the heart backs, with the when the face is way more gentle for sensitive skin yeah, so eyebrows popular arms and underarms of all, you have to do that. Underarms are so popular. Underarms are great because I'm alone no woman on the horns of the army hair. If you know me and underarms last for about two weeks, it doesn't hurt that I actually is one one new strip and do we do it such extra push touch-ups. I usually we go after just one time in everyone, anything that was left behind, which doesn't hurt at all in the last two weeks and if exactly then, it's up so when your hair grows back on your arms is not even as noticeable as it was when It was going back before NMS, okay, now we're not talking about the waxing process, we're going to share tips for first-timers. So if I were coming here, I've never got waxing for what we do. My first resilience: okay, walking up the front desk. Of course, we have our receptionist and they'll all show you everything on the menu that you can get a desk concerning whatever service you would like. We also when we take you to the back. You will meet one of our s position. She take you to the back to explain to you how to set up it's not as such and then combine the sable chat on the pillow. You would take off if you're getting a Brazilian, for example, everything from the waist pull up. Take it off put it on the side and it will start from there. We have a prep lower integral where we clean the area. We put a primer on area which are metals to protect the wax from you skin and then we'll put a powder. The products absorb moisture and oil so with the hard wax, if it's or you own, moisture there, the wax will just turn into a ball. It won't lie over here. So we remove we kind of take all the body oils with they'll with the powder, and then we put the wax down okay, and so after you put the wax down, how does it go you go strip by strip. We go step by step I like to, and I trained my girls to do. If you don't want your phone one side, you're doing another strip on the other side. Just in case you don't want to do it anymore. You come out easy because I like leaving like putting themself like halfway, you know. Oh, I try to keep everything about everything I'm gon na once I follow with an exercise. Just give me this okay, and what do you like personally from experience or from your clients? What area do you like, Chris, the most like the lip area on the upper here? It'S always either than idea to lips or the top part, so it's either or no one ever says it they're equally the same! It'S either like, oh, my god. The bottom are so much you're jacking and fulfilled because, as the softest part and some people say that's hot because sometimes when you shave, we focus on that part the whole. So we shave and our partner Moses, because that's what you can see it and in the bottom is, you know, scary, to shape the bottom. So I feel like the top is from the darkness. The bottom is just something: that's psychological, yeah and the. But when you get to the fire yeah we're good.
