Waxing
...
Waxing
is still the most popular form of hair removal in the aesthetics industry
because it's quick, affordable, and helps to diminish unwanted hair when
done regularly. Waxing leaves your arms and legs feeling smooth and clean,
and give your eyebrows that perfect contour for a natural "eyelift!"

Bikini
$40
Hair is removed from the area where the edge of a normal bikini bottom
(or underwear) would be. Better to start with than Brazilian wax, if you
are not accustomed to waxing this area.
Brazilian
$65
The is one of the most popular waxing procedures around, thanks to a group
of Brazilian born sisters who brought it to their NYC Salon in 1987. The
aestethics of this wax haven't changed much: it's total hair removal from
the "private" area (including buttocks). This technique has become most
requested due to the popularity of thongs.

Lip $15
Chin $15
Full Face $35
Underarms $25

Waxing 101 -- Here's why you should wax,
and how to go about it!
Waxing is Better Than Shaving
Waxing actually removes the entire hair in the follicle, as opposed to
shaving, which just cuts the hair off at the skin leaving a healthy hair
shaft for regrowth. When you wax regularly, then hair regrowth becomes
thinner and thinner over time because the hair follicle is diminished.
Before You Wax
- Hair
should be at 1/4 inch long. (Be sure it is not too long for Brazilian)
- Super-exfoliate
your skin. (Try the Herbana Salt Glow!)
- Take
a Tylenol or Advil 1 hour before.
- Don't
go for the Full-Monty your first time; Brazilian is popular, but try
a Bikini wax first.
- Wear
comfortable, loose fitting clothes.
- Wax
at least 24 hours before your big event.
- Relax...
take that cup of tea your Herbana hostess offers you!
After You Wax
- Use
mineral oil to remove any excess wax.
- Prevent
in-growns by exfoliating daily.
- Use
benzoyl peroxide to reduce inflammation or prevent infection.
- Protect
freshly waxed skin with sunblock -- SPF 30
