Brazilian Wax in Makati & BGC

Brazilian wax removes all pubic hair from the front, back, and everything in between. It's the most thorough bikini wax option.

In Manila, the most common styles are: Brazilian (small landing strip left), Hollywood (completely bare), and Extended Bikini (sides and some top removed).

Best clinics: Strip Ministry of Waxing (most consistent), Wink Waxing Studio BGC (best for sensitive skin), Lay Bare (best value).

Price range: ₱750–₱1,800 depending on salon and style. Recommend hard wax over soft strip wax for the bikini area — less painful on sensitive skin.

First-Timer Tips

What to Know Before Your First Brazilian Wax in Manila

Hair length matters

Hair must be 6–10mm (about 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving). Too short = wax won't grip. Too long = more painful. Trim to 10mm if longer.

Take ibuprofen before

400mg ibuprofen 30–45 minutes before your appointment significantly reduces pain. Avoid scheduling during menstruation — skin is more sensitive.

Book 3–4 weeks apart

Regular maintenance every 3–5 weeks gives best results. Hair grows back finer and sparser over time — pain decreases with each session.

Exfoliate 2 days before

Light exfoliation 48 hours before removes dead skin, helping wax grip hair better and reducing ingrown hair risk. Avoid exfoliating the day of your appointment.

Wear loose clothing

Loose cotton underwear and pants after your appointment. Tight clothing causes friction on freshly waxed skin and increases ingrown hair risk.

Avoid sun and heat

No beach, pool, sauna, or hot shower for 24–48 hours after waxing. Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive to heat, UV, and chlorine.
