The difference between a French wax and a Brazilian wax
French Wax: Removes most of the pubic hair, including from the bikini line and the labia, but leaves a small strip or triangle in the front. It does not remove hair from the back (between the buttocks).
Brazilian Wax: Removes all pubic hair from the front, labia, and back (between the buttocks), leaving the area completely bare. Some people opt to keep a small strip or triangle in the front, but a full Brazilian usually means everything is removed.
Both types of waxing can be customized based on personal preference.

Safety & Considerations
1. Increased Sensitivity – Pregnancy hormones make the skin more sensitive, so waxing might be more painful than usual.
2. Increased Blood Flow – The skin, especially in the bikini area, may be more prone to irritation, redness, or swelling.
3. Positioning in Late Pregnancy – Lying on your back for a long time may be uncomfortable in the third trimester. I offer alternative positions.
4. Avoid Harsh Products – No strong chemicals are used post-wax to prevent irritation.
When to Avoid Waxing
If you have a high-risk pregnancy or any skin conditions (varicose veins, rashes, infections), consult your doctor first.
If you have never waxed before, pregnancy may not be the best time to start due to increased sensitivity.
Many women get waxed before labour for hygiene and comfort. I accommodate pregnant clients!
