A thorough Brazilian wax should not leave you doing a full quality-control inspection in your shower later that night. It also should not leave your skin feeling as though someone kept waxing the same spot until it surrendered.

At Gold Rush Esthetics, a Brazilian wax is built around efficient technique, attention to detail, comfort, and protecting the skin.

Back hair is one of those things people tend to ignore until they suddenly don’t. Maybe you caught it in a mirror under bright bathroom lighting. Maybe you’re packing for a trip. Maybe you’re tired of asking someone else to help you shave an area you cannot comfortably reach without turning into a human pretzel.

If you’ve booked a wax and suddenly found yourself wondering, “Is this long enough?”

This is one of the most common questions clients have before a Brazilian wax, bikini wax, underarm wax, or body wax. With shaving, you see hair and remove it. With waxing, timing matters. The hair needs to be long enough for the wax to grab it and remove it from the root.
