I've never had a Brazilian wax done in the UK. I changed my service to Hollywood since that means everything. I usually go to European Wax Center which uses hard strip less wax. After the second time, it's usually painless. This hot wax was definitely more painful. Even after using the cream wax for cleanup, there were still some leftovers. The employee who helped me was so nice. I might have been happier with a different type of waxing technique.
