CLIENT LOVE
Smooth Results,
Zero Stress
I was so nervous for my first wax, but the Ipanema team made me feel completely at ease. The process was surprisingly painless and the results are incredibly smooth!
After trying several studios, I've finally found my holy grail. The organic wax they use makes a huge difference. Zero irritation and pure relaxation from start to finish.
Absolutely flawless experience. The attention to detail and hygiene is hospital-grade, just as they promised. I left feeling radiant, confident, and completely stress-free.
I came in for my pre-wedding wax and couldn't be happier. The comfort-first technique is real! The glow lasted through my entire honeymoon. Highly recommend.
GOOD QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME
Everything You’re Wondering Before Your Wax
Especially the questions you may feel a little nervous asking.
Here is what you need to know before your Ipanema experience.
Does waxing hurt?
Waxing can feel uncomfortable, especially during your first appointment, but the sensation is usually brief. Sayonara works carefully and efficiently, explains what to expect, and respects your comfort throughout the service.
How long should my hair be?
Your hair should be approximately ¼ inch long, usually about two to three weeks of growth. The wax needs enough hair to grip properly. If you are unsure, contact us before trimming or shaving.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean skin and avoid applying oils, lotions, or heavy products to the area being waxed. Avoid aggressive exfoliation and products that may increase skin sensitivity before your appointment.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing, especially for Brazilian, bikini, leg, or underarm services.
Can I wax during my period?
Yes, you can usually receive a Brazilian or bikini wax during your period. Your skin may feel more sensitive, and you will need to wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup during the appointment.
If you have any concerns, contact us before your visit.
Can I wax while pregnant?
Sayonara does not wax in the first trimester for your safety. Please let Sayonara know that you are pregnant before your service. If you have medical concerns, complications, or restrictions, speak with your healthcare provider before booking.
How long do waxing results last?
Every woman’s hair-growth cycle is different. Many clients enjoy their results for several weeks and return every four to six weeks to maintain a consistent waxing routine.
What should I avoid after waxing?
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid:
Hot baths, saunas, and excessive heat
Intense exercise and heavy sweating
Pools and hot tubs
Tight clothing and friction
Harsh exfoliants or fragranced products
Intimate contact after a Brazilian or bikini wax
Follow the personalized aftercare guidance provided during your appointment.
What is the difference between a bikini wax and a Brazilian wax?
A bikini-line wax removes the hair visible outside a typical underwear or swimsuit line.
A Brazilian wax removes substantially more hair from the intimate area. You can discuss how much you would like removed before the service begins so you feel comfortable with the result.
What is the Ipanema Skin-Calm Ritual™?
The Ipanema Skin-Calm Ritual™ is Sayonara’s signature process included with eligible waxing services.
It follows six thoughtful steps:
Cleanse. Prepare. Wax. Treat. Calm. Hydrate.
The result is confidence. The ritual is how we care for you along the way.
What is the Ipanema Welcome Wax™?
The Ipanema Welcome Wax™ is our introduction to new clients. It includes one complimentary eligible wax with the complete Ipanema experience and Sayonara’s signature care.
New clients only. One complimentary eligible wax per client. Service eligibility and appointment policies apply.
Will I see the same professional every time?
Yes. Sayonara is the professional behind Ipanema Wax Studio.
You will not have to explain your preferences to someone new at every appointment. Over time, your visits become more familiar, comfortable, and personal.
Do you speak Portuguese?
Yes. Appointments are available in both English and Portuguese.
Sim. Você pode ser atendida em português.
Do you provide waxing services for men?
No. Ipanema Wax Studio currently provides waxing services for women only.
Are there medications or products that may prevent me from waxing?
Certain medications, skin-care products, and recent procedures can make the skin too sensitive for waxing.
Contact the studio before booking if you:
Use prescription retinoids
Use strong exfoliating acids or topical acne products
Recently had a chemical peel, laser treatment, or skin procedure
Have sunburned, irritated, injured, or broken skin
Take medication that affects your skin
Have a condition that may affect healing or sensitivity
When in doubt, ask before your appointment. Protecting your safety is more important than completing the service.
