Professional waxing has become one of the most popular hair removal methods for achieving long-lasting, smooth skin that lasts weeks longer than shaving. Whether you're considering your first Brazilian wax or exploring body waxing options, understanding the process, benefits, and aftercare can help you achieve the best results while minimizing discomfort.
A Brazilian wax removes all pubic hair from front to back, including the labia and inner glute area, with the option to leave a small shape or landing strip on top. Unlike a standard bikini wax that only tidies the visible bikini line, a Brazilian wax provides a thorough, polished look that leaves you feeling confident and refreshed.
At KASIWAX in McLean, VA, every Brazilian waxing session includes complimentary services that other salons charge extra for: the belly strip and inner thighs are always included at no additional cost. This attention to detail, combined with over 50 years of combined experience from our team, has earned KASIWAX more than 300 Google reviews with a 4.8-star average rating.
Brazilian Waxing Pricing:
Not everyone wants a full Brazilian, and that's perfectly fine. KASIWAX offers multiple bikini waxing options to suit your comfort level and aesthetic preferences:
Bikini Full: More than a basic bikini, less than a full Brazilian, this service includes partial labia and the butt crack with a small triangle or landing strip on top. It's the perfect middle-ground option for those who want more coverage than a basic bikini but aren't ready for a full Brazilian.
Standard Bikini: This service covers the outer lip crease with a medium triangle or landing strip on top, providing a quick and tidy cleanup for a groomed, swim-ready look. Starting at just $50 for both new and repeat clients, it's an accessible entry point for professional hair removal.
Professional waxing isn't limited to bikini areas. KASIWAX provides comprehensive body waxing services for all genders, including leg waxing, back waxing, arm waxing, and underarm waxing. Men's body waxing has grown exponentially in popularity, with professional grooming becoming standard for athletes, professionals, and anyone seeking smooth, hair-free skin.
For men specifically, KASIWAX offers specialized men's waxing services performed by experienced technicians who understand male hair growth patterns and skin sensitivity. Whether you're interested in chest waxing, back waxing, or full body grooming, the team at KASIWAX ensures a comfortable, professional experience.
Not all waxing products are created equal. At KASIWAX, we use premium hard wax that grips hair, not skin, resulting in significantly less pain and irritation compared to soft wax methods. This technique is especially important for sensitive areas like Brazilian waxing where skin is more delicate.
Hard wax works by encapsulating the hair as it cools and hardens, then removing the hair from the root when the wax is pulled away. Because it doesn't adhere to the skin as aggressively as soft wax, there's less pulling and trauma to the skin surface. The application techniques used by KASIWAX professionals have been refined over decades of experience.
Sustainability matters, especially in the beauty industry. KASIWAX's hard wax and home wax kit use plant-based, biodegradable ingredients that avoid harsh petroleum-based chemicals found in many conventional waxing products. This means gentler results for your skin and a lighter environmental footprint.
For clients interested in at-home maintenance between professional sessions, the KASIWAX Home Wax Kit provides the same eco-friendly formulation used in the spa.
Proper preparation ensures a smoother, less painful waxing experience. Here's your pre-wax checklist:
Hair Length: Your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for the wax to grip effectively. Good news: at KASIWAX, we wax long hair without requiring pre-trimming, so just come as you are.
Exfoliate Gently: Exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and allow for easier hair removal. However, avoid exfoliating the day of your appointment as this can increase sensitivity.
Avoid Retinoids: If you use retinol or prescription retinoids, discontinue use on the area to be waxed at least 5-7 days before your appointment. These products thin the skin and can lead to lifting or tearing during waxing.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose loose-fitting clothing, especially bottoms if you're getting a Brazilian or bikini wax. Tight clothing can irritate freshly waxed skin.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to keep skin supple and hydrated.
First-time clients often worry about the waxing process, but knowing what to expect helps ease anxiety. At KASIWAX, the experience begins with a welcoming environment designed for your comfort.
Before waxing begins, technicians apply KASIWAX's proprietary Before Wax Lotion to protect and prepare your skin. This pre-treatment creates a barrier between the wax and your skin, minimizing discomfort. The waxing itself is performed by skilled professionals who communicate throughout the process, and afterward, soothing After Wax Lotion is applied to calm and refresh your skin.
KASIWAX also provides complimentary wipes, tampons, water, and snacks to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. First-time clients should arrive 5 minutes early to complete the client waiver, or you can fill it out online beforehand.
The immediate post-wax period is crucial for preventing irritation and maintaining smooth results. Proper aftercare following your waxing appointment ensures optimal healing and extends the life of your smooth skin.
Avoid Heat: Skip hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and heavy workouts for 24-48 hours after waxing. Heat can increase inflammation and open pores, making them more susceptible to bacteria.
Wear Loose Clothing: Tight clothing creates friction against freshly waxed skin, leading to irritation and potential ingrown hairs. Opt for breathable, loose-fitting fabrics.
Skip the Gym: Sweat can irritate newly waxed skin and introduce bacteria into open follicles. Wait at least 24 hours before returning to intense exercise.
Cool Compresses and Aloe Vera: Research confirms that applying cool compresses and aloe vera gel immediately after waxing significantly reduces inflammation and speeds healing. These simple steps help constrict blood vessels and deliver hydration to support the recovery phase.
Ingrown hairs are one of the most common post-wax concerns, but they're largely preventable with proper care. Research confirms that consistent exfoliation effectively prevents ingrown hairs by clearing away dead skin cells that can trap hairs beneath the surface.
Exfoliation Schedule:
Moisturize Daily: Keeping skin hydrated maintains its elasticity and prevents the buildup of dead skin cells. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to waxed areas.
Avoid Picking: Resist the urge to pick at or scratch waxed areas, even if you notice small bumps. This can introduce bacteria and lead to infection or scarring.
A consistent aftercare routine strengthens follicles, prevents common issues like ingrown hairs and irritation, and builds skin resilience over time. Following a predictable routine helps your skin heal faster and maximizes the smooth, long-lasting results from your Brazilian wax.
How Long Results Last: Brazilian and bikini waxes typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your individual hair growth cycle. Most clients find that with regular waxing every 4-6 weeks, hair grows back finer, softer, and sparser over time.
To maintain optimal results, consider booking regular appointments through KASIWAX's loyalty program for special pricing on repeat visits. Repeat clients who return within 6 weeks receive discounted pricing, making regular maintenance more affordable.
If you're new to waxing, the prospect might seem intimidating, but clients consistently report that the anticipation is worse than the actual experience. As one KASIWAX client shared: "I psyched myself out for nothing. It was over before I could blink!".
For first-time Brazilian wax clients, technicians take extra time to explain the process, check in frequently about comfort levels, and use techniques that minimize discomfort. The post-wax tweeezing service ensures every stray hair is removed for a flawless finish.
KASIWAX welcomes clients under 18 with parental consent. For teens dealing with unwanted body hair, professional waxing offers a safe, effective alternative to shaving that lasts much longer and results in smoother skin.
Life gets busy, which is why KASIWAX accepts walk-ins in addition to scheduled appointments. Located at 7952 Tysons Corner Center in McLean, VA, the spa is easily accessible from Tysons, Vienna, and Fairfax. Hours are Monday through Thursday 10am-8pm, Friday and Saturday 8am-8pm, and Sunday 11am-7pm.
For payment convenience, KASIWAX accepts Apple Pay and other major payment methods after your service is completed. Note that the spa does not carry change, so plan accordingly.
While Brazilian and bikini waxing get the most attention, face waxing is equally important for a polished appearance. KASIWAX offers comprehensive facial waxing services including eyebrow waxing, upper lip waxing, chin waxing, and full face waxing.
Professional face waxing removes hair from the root, resulting in smoother skin that lasts 3-4 weeks. Unlike tweezing or threading, waxing removes multiple hairs simultaneously, making it faster and more efficient. The technique also exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving skin looking brighter and feeling softer.
For men, facial waxing services can clean up eyebrows, remove nose hair safely, and shape beards for a sharp, professional look.
