Love your Brazilians, but can't stand the pain? At the Total Body Clinic in Wayne, we're sympathetic to clients who love the feeling of freshly waxed skin, but get anxious about the discomfort they might endure during their treatment. Whether doing a Brazilian wax, bikini wax, leg wax or a simple upper lip wax, lead esthetician Isabel Viveros Ciampi applies her years of experience, a skillful technique and a reassuring touch to every treatment. She will also teach you some breathing techniques to help keep you and your skin relaxed.

Isabel is well-aware of the common complaints of women who regularly wax their bikini. Rest assured that she has thought long and hard on how to provide her clients with the best waxing service possible!

For example, many complain that their waxing sessions are rushed and that estheticians don't always remove all hair from the treated area. Did you know, for example, that franchise "wax centers" maximize their profits by pressuring estheticians to finish their Brazilian treatment within 30 minutes or face reprimand? At the Total Body Clinic in Wayne, Isabel will dote on you in a disciplined, unrushed manner, tweeze out every last hair and even hand you a mirror to inspect her job. She'll encourage open dialogue so as not to exceed your pain threshold.

Another common criticism of women who wax is the pain experienced during the session. At the Total Body Clinic in Wayne, Isabel uses hard wax (stripless) for sensitive areas, winning welcome sighs of relief from her clients. She also offers to use a numbing spray on clients with a low pain threshold.

Other women complain that they have been put in embarrasing or even humiliating positions during their Brazilian bikini waxing sessions. At the Total Body Clinic in Wayne, your dignity and modesty are paramount during your hair removal treatment. Disposable panties and hygenic wipes are always provided for you upon entering the waxing room.

Inconsistent results are another complaint. At the Total Body Clinic in Wayne, you will not be taken care of by a different esthetician every week. Lead esthetician Isabel Viveros Ciampi performs all waxing services.

Lastly, many women are made uncomfortable by questionable, non-hygenic waxing practices employed in some salons. At the Total Body Clinic in Wayne, we supply you with disposable underwear worn throughout the session and never double-dip the applicators used during the session.

Isabel is a trained expert eyebrow shaper, and will take the time to tweeze and wax so that your brows once again match each other, while framing your eyes and complementing your face. If you've tried shaping your eyebrows yourself and now wish you hadn't, stop in and have Isabel put you back on track! Her skills in this area are usually the icing on the cake for brides-to-be seeking a makeup artist to help them look their best on their big day.

Isabel’s waxing credentials

Isabel has trained in waxing both in Argentina, where she practiced Brazilian waxing, bikini waxing, leg waxing for nearly 10 years, and in the US. She has used and is comfortable with most modern waxing systems currently in use. She is also a trained eyebrow shaping specialist, having studied makeup artistry in 1990s. In 2005, she perfected her eyebrow design skills under the famed Hollywood makeup guru Marvin Westmore.

Many of the troubles caused by waxing can be avoided by being proactive. If ingrown hair is a problem for you after having been waxed, you should consider a pre-treatment exfoliation. For best waxing results, keep your skin hydrated and moisturized as a general rule. You should also avoid waxing skin that has been recently sunburned. To keep pain to a minimum, wait a week after menstruating to have your wax, and avoid caffeine for 24 hours prior to your session.

Your ability to relax during the treatment is also important; please arrive a few minutes early to enjoy an unrushed treatment and the best wax experience imaginable. This will give you time to read and sign our waxing release form. You can download the form and hand It in when you arrive.

Absolute contraindications: You must avoid waxing if you are using Retin-A, Renova, or other medicines that use RetinA, or if you have recently had a peeling. Those using blood thinners should also avoid waxing.
