The exponential growth in the popularity of intimate waxing has opened a world of new treatment possibilities. No longer is an intimate wax a rushed experience, to get the bare basics done. This emerging trend is set to make the intimate waxing experience more personal, focusing on individual needs.
In this blog, we’ll discover why intimate waxing is still one of the most sought-after salon services and its hidden health benefits. We’ll also explore the LYCON products that give a perfect Brazilian and Manzilian every time, leading to happy, returning clients.
Why Intimate Waxing is More Popular than Ever
Waxing has become a part of everyday life for many women and is rapidly growing for men. As such, intimate waxing, namely Brazilian and Manzilian waxing, continues to grow in popularity as people realise the benefits of living a less hairy life.
Intimate waxing is often considered total hair removal, but that is not always true. Many names and styles fall under the umbrella of intimate waxing. Clients often also request a customised design or shape, such as a love heart, star, lightning bolt, or simply a landing strip.
Making First-Time Waxing a Positive Experience
As clients enter a salon for the first time, therapists must know they may feel anxious. Therefore, therapists must make clients feel comfortable throughout the process, especially if it’s their first time receiving this treatment.
Before starting a treatment, the therapist should brief the client with a short overview of what to expect before, during, and after treatments, as well as the benefits.
The Hidden Health Benefits of Intimate Waxing
Most of the time, intimate waxing is regarded for its aesthetic benefits. However, many skin and health benefits associated with getting an intimate wax are often overlooked. Waxing promotes collagen production, which strengthens skin and can boost skin elasticity and hydration.
In addition, when you wax, hair is removed from the root. Waxing damages the base of the hair follicle, and the hair grows back thinner, softer, and finer. Waxing also has an exfoliating benefit, as waxing removes dead skin cells, allowing healthy skin tissue to grow. As such, waxing unclogs pores, resulting in fewer breakouts, particularly evident in the pubic area.
Hygiene plays an important part in daily life. When you have pubic hair, moisture may be trapped, which can lead to an infection or unpleasant odour, mostly associated with bacterial activity around the hairs. By removing the hair, an unpleasant odour can be significantly reduced, as there will be no hair for the moisture to linger on and bacteria to breed on, ultimately leaving the skin feeling cleaner and fresher.
Achieving the Perfect Intimate Waxing Experience with LYCON's PINKINI and MANifico Collections
LYCON offers the best of both worlds for clients and therapists when it comes to intimate waxing and care. To achieve the perfect intimate waxing experience, it is recommended to use the PINKINI Brazilian Care Collection, specifically developed for the easiest and most gentle Brazilians, and the MANifico collection for Manzilians.
Thoughtfully named and specially designed, these collections make the process a breeze for therapists and give them total confidence in achieving the best end results.
The PINKINI Brazilian Care Collection creates the most comfortable intimate waxing experience for both therapist and client. The PINKINI Brazilian Hybrid Hot Wax features shrink-wrapping technology, removing hair as short as 1mm, whilst being extra pliable and easy to use. It is low temperature, making it comfortable to apply on the same area 5-6 times without discomfort.

Teamed with the nurturing PINKINI Skin Cleanser, Pre-Waxing Oil, and Finishing Lotion, it provides virtually painless professional waxing, especially wonderful for intimate zones.
The Perfect Companion to Intimate Waxing: Vajacial
Another intimate treatment quickly gaining popularity is a Vajacial. A professional Vajacial helps prevent the formation of ingrown hairs while removing and treating any that may have formed.
It is also hydrating for delicate skin in the bikini zone, which requires extra-special targeted products for that area. Hydration is beneficial as it softens the skin, ensuring ingrown hairs are less likely to become embedded. With aloe vera and Allantoin, LYCON’s PINKINI Intimate Mask is perfect for this treatment.

Paired with the MANifico pre- and post-waxing lotions, it will soothe and protect men’s sensitive skin.
Intimate Waxing is a Way of Life
As intimate waxing continues to grow, we believe it is becoming a way of life rather than just a want, which is great for therapists. An important aspect of intimate waxing is making clients feel comfortable and confident with any treatment they request, which creates customer loyalty.
In addition, waxing treatments require more specific home care targeted products to help maintain the delicate skin in between salon visits. LYCON has an extensive range of products that caters to these needs, offering many effective, technically advanced products for fast, easily achieved skin improvements for therapists in-salon and clients at-home.
