Recipes of epilation (hair removal) Epilation and design of the bikini zone

Interest in bikini-design is growing. And maybe he would be even more, we understand better what lies behind this word.

From the depths of centuries

No wonder they say that everything new is a well-forgotten old. Intimate haircuts were popular in ancient times. In the baths of ancient Rome, specially trained slaves, who masterfully removed the unwanted hair with special tweezers from the bodies of the rich and noble, did this, stained the rest with natural dyes, and then rubbed "customers" with incenses. Belonging to the upper strata of society Egyptians used for depilation special plant mixtures, dyed hair in intimate places and decorated the body with ornamentation using henna. In India and in some Asian and Muslim countries, pubic hair was removed exclusively for hygienic reasons. In Europe, intimate haircuts have gained popularity only in the last century. After the sexual revolution of the 60s with the advent of swimwear "bikini" and the development of nudism, an intimate haircut for many has become commonplace.
In Russia, such haircuts came in the late nineties. In St. Petersburg, there was a first school, teaching stylists bikini-design. It was the pioneer - the company "Nautilus - Marketing" and patented the term "bikini design".
Today there are several competing schools. Some work on stencils, others consider this approach unacceptable and rely on the flight of the master's fantasy.

Bioepilation against a razor

Initially, intimate haircuts were created with the help of razors and scissors. Which, by the way, is very convenient. But this method has a number of obvious drawbacks. First, after shaving such a delicate zone, skin irritation occurs. Secondly, the hairdress quickly loses appeal, because the hair begins to grow back in a day or two.
With the advent of bioepilation, these problems were solved. First, the hair was removed with the help of warm wax, and then more sparing and comfortable - hot.
Today, very high quality plastic waxes are used, containing various additives (softening, soothing, etc.). They are great for those who have very thick and hard hair. And after depilation with wax, the hair becomes thinner and grow less often. But most importantly, depilation, performed with the help of hot wax, allows intimate haircut to keep the shape from two weeks to a month.
Although hot wax is a reusable product, after the procedure, for obvious reasons, it is thrown away. And for the application use disposable spatulas.

In the same place, you can not only cut, but also paint. Masters of bikini design work in two directions: someone practices persistent coloring, someone is temporary. In the second case, multi-colored carcasses are used, and for dyeing for a long time, persistent dyes. And here again two options are possible. The fact is that there are paints specially designed for work in the groin area. But since they are distinguished by not very high durability, poor color palette of bright fashionable colors and high price, many masters prefer to use traditional professional hair dyes, adapting them for use in the intimate zone. They argue that with their proper use of complications does not happen, and the quality of staining is much better. If the hairstyle involves drawing a pattern on the skin, then use persistent cosmetic pencils and dyes.
And yet, professionals recommend using special natural colors for intimate skin areas. Usually they contain natural ingredients that soften the effect of the paint, not allowing irritating the delicate skin, and minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. For example, Glo-Glo cream paint contains natural manoeu oil, extracts of chamomile, arnica, lemon balm, calendula, wheat germ oil. And allantoin and vitamin A protect tender areas of the body and hair during staining, soften and disinfect the skin.

Butterflies-flowers ...

The main stage of bikini design, we can say, is the culmination of the whole procedure - the choice of a drawing. For self-determination you will be offered a catalog with many options. But the client's desire is not always decisive. The last word is still for the designer, because only he can really assess whether a new hairstyle will suit you. The choice of pattern is influenced by the skin color and features of the figure. Large people who have what they call "wide bone", stylists recommend graceful drawings of fine lines, slender - from wide. Customers with massive hips are fit hairstyles, narrowing to the bottom. For example, a haircut "seagull" - the silhouette of a bird with flared wings. Girls with narrow hips, on the contrary, - from below wide, from above narrow, for example "forest" hairdress in the form of a mushroom. Owners of standard hips are advised to do hair cuts in the form of a month or a drop.
In the field of intimate haircuts, there are own modes. For example, the once popular hairstyle "pussy" in the form of a cat's head is considered obsolete. In the past, also "butterflies", "flowers", "hearts" and other sentimental drawings. Stylists of intimate hairstyles claim that today various symbols are relevant: labyrinths, crosses, all-seeing eye. The ancient Germanic runic alphabet and hieroglyphs are in great demand. This year, as it is easy to guess, this hieroglyph is "monkey".
Other stylists claim that today in the bikini-design, as in clothes, the fashion theme is "military". The theme of the East is still popular.
Widespread distribution of drawings "winter pattern", "fire of passion", "bat". And the young and extravagant - the "flower of marijuana."
Before the New Year, especially popular are Christmas trees with rhinestones, snowflakes and a red cap of Santa Claus.
Male intimate haircuts are less diverse: representatives of the stronger sex are more conservative. Classics is a haircut "playboy" in the form of a hare head with ears. Popular drawings are in the form of the emblem of the brand "Mercedes", a bull with red eyes, an eagle, the Eiffel Tower or the Soviet quality mark.
By the way, many men perceive bikini-design as a hygienic procedure and preferring artistic refinement to the purity of the body (without unnecessary "vegetation").
Conditionally intimate hairstyles can be divided into everyday and evening. Evening is decorated with sequins, rhinestones, beads, feathers. They, as you know, are short-lived - literally up to the first soul ...

Stages of the procedure

A bikini-design is performed in approximately the same way. After choosing a picture, the client is conveniently located on the cosmetology couch. The site intended for depilation is treated with a tonic that cleans, disinfects and defathes the skin. Then the drawing itself is applied (by stencil or by the master's inspiration). After that, again the whole area is treated with talcum powder with menthol. Talc creates a protective layer between the skin and wax and has a slight anesthetic effect due to the menthol contained in it. Only after that do not start

Mediocre wax depilation. The heated wax with a spatula is applied to the skin area; After a few seconds, when a film forms on the surface of the wax, it is removed by various techniques: for example, it is lifted with a finger, as if leafing through the page, with the other hand the master fixes the skin below the depilation zone. Removing the hair of the "bikini" zone, go to "deep bikini", that is, remove all unwanted hair in the perineum and in the anus.
Then shear her hair and cut her hair. If the hair is very dark, but you want the pattern to be bright, first apply the "very light blond" paint, and then the selected shade. After 20-30 minutes, the paint is washed off and again the whole depilated area is treated with talc. And finally decorate. When decorating intimate hairstyles, as we have already said, use rhinestones, sequins, feathers, which are attached to the glue for eyelashes. Draw a contour of the picture, supplement it with small details can be with the help of henna (temporary tattoo). If the customer wants a durable drawing, then permanent tattoo is applied. But, as practice shows, clients rarely come to restoring their hairstyles, they prefer to experiment.
An experienced master, applying a stencil, will make you an intimate hairdress literally in half an hour. The more complex the pattern, the more time it will take for the stylist - from an hour to two.

Do not forget about precautions

As with bioepilation on any other part of the body, with bikini-design you need to observe some taboos. You should not do depilation if the skin is injured or irritated, and the effects of solar or solar burns. You can not do bikini design after thermal procedures, shower, baths, saunas, as steaming increases the sensitivity of the skin. Removed hair should be the optimal length - 5-7 mm, while it is longer, but shorter is undesirable.
After the procedure, it is forbidden to use any means for showering or intimate hygiene, a washcloth. In no case can not sunbathe in the sun or in the solarium.
It is not recommended to do bikini design three days before menstruation and three days after it, because at this time the sensitivity of the skin is increased.
And at last about the cost of this service. Bikini design costs an average of 1600 rubles. Everything depends on the category of salon and the ambitions of the stylist. In VIP-salons the price soars up to 5000 rubles.

Curious…

Sex: In the salons of bikini-design come mostly women. Men make up only 5%.
Age: Women aged 25 to 55 years, and men - from 25 to 40.
Profession: Since the service is not cheap, the women of business class resort to it - from managers and employees, to housewives. And men are businessmen.
Reason: Women for the first time make bikini design for the sake of fun, drawing, or to pleasantly surprise the partner. The next time they come to experiment. Men, more often than not, to surprise a partner.
Result: There were cases when the client's husband came to the salon with flowers the next day after the procedure and thanked the cosmetologist for an unforgettable impression.

All that you were afraid to ask ...

Irina Kulichkova, the director of the beauty salon "Visavi" advises:

Can I choose the floor of the wizard?
Cosmetologists on the body are mostly women. And most often, male clients are happy with this.

Do I have to take a shower before the bikini-design procedure?
At home before going to the salon, a warm shower should be taken necessarily.

Is there a chair for bikini design for gynecological?

No. The procedure is performed on an ordinary cosmetology couch.

Should I wear socks when I go to the couch?
On any procedure for the body, you need to take with you a pair of sock. Not only on the basis of hygienic considerations, but also simply do not freeze your feet.

Does the master have to wear a mask and gloves before the procedure?
No. In a mask and gloves work inconveniently. The master can wear one glove, and it is even more convenient to use a disposable napkin.

In what position do the "deep bikini"?
Adapt, as it is more convenient to the client and the master, all depends on the degree of trust. Usually, on the side. Maybe on all fours. And sometimes it's enough to put a roller under your waist.

Is it painful to do hair removal in the zone of "deep bikini"?
The degree of sensitivity will depend on the pain threshold of the client and on the skill of the cosmetologist. From the office of an inexperienced master there are always "oh-ahs."

Is anesthesia possible?
Anesthesia practically does not work in this zone. Special creams anesthetize very superficially, and even then only 40 minutes after application. Only the use of special techniques, allows you to make the procedure less "sensitive."

Since the procedure is rather painful, the erection does not arise. It is a myth.

Do men remove hair in the scrotal area?
No. This zone is not depilated. There is very thin skin. In men, depilation is carried out only on two zones - bikini and buttocks.

How to overcome the constraint?
Usually a hike in the salon is preceded by a telephone conversation with the administrator or a cosmetologist. For salon bikini-design is a usual job, and the simpler and easier the specialist speaks about it, the faster he has a client to himself.
But, as a rule, on bikini-design go to that cosmetician on a body to which have already got used and trust. Within five years, our customers have become accustomed to the epilation of the bikini zone, now they are getting used to the design of this zone. Although there is nothing unusual in this procedure. Absolutely nothing shy of those customers who did bikini design abroad.


Doctor's opinion

Marina Garbuzova, doctor-cosmetologist, leading specialist of "Martinez Image" answers questions of a medical nature.

Should the procedure be preceded by an inspection?
Necessarily, the expert should examine the client. Fungal diseases, inflamed lymph nodes, irritations on the skin, burn after a tanning bed or sun are a contraindication for bikini-design.

Is it possible in the salon to get infected with any diseases?
To begin with, all the salon staff with medical books. And the rest depends on the accuracy of the master. If his left hand is gloved or wrapped with a disposable napkin, and it touches only the body, and the right hand - only with wax, then infection is impossible. A mucous in the procedure does not affect.

How can the use of non-special, and conventional dyes, affect, and for decolourisation - hydrogen peroxide?
If applied sparing paints for hair, then there will be no big trouble. But the use of aggressive dyes is a concern. After depilation, the skin is very sensitive, the pores are open, which increases the risk of irritation and the possibility of allergies.
