Bikini Waxing Salon to Open in Orem Utah

Our phones have been ringing off the hook with clients wanting to know when our expert team of waxers will be taking clients in Orem, Utah. Wax Me Too Salon is known for its bikini-brazilian waxing technique and exemplary customer service!

We hope to have our doors open for business March 1st. We know clients will be thrilled with our beautiful new salon at 1160 South State Street just across from the Orem University Mall.

We have been wanting to open our doors in Orem for a while now, but have held back simply because we couldn't find the perfect location. That all changed this January when, on a visit to Leticia's Salon in Orem, she told us about an available space in her building.

Wax Me Too is one (out of maybe 2) truly "waxing only" salons. We don't do any other services than hair removal through waxing. Because waxing is all we do, we are great at it!

We have other locations throughout Utah in Layton, Salt Lake City, Draper and St. George.

Brazilian or Brazilian....Wax?

We may not have invented it (the brazilian wax) but we have certainly perfected it! That is the American way, after all...take a great idea and make it better.
Brazilian waxing gained its popularity when a few sisters from Brazil decided that hair removal (down there) through waxing was the only way to go. From my understanding, the Brazilian-way of waxing is the use of a combination of hard and soft wax.
Hard wax companies have done brilliant job of selling the salon population and the general public the merits of hard wax. At Wax Me Too salons...we (and most importantly) our clients...hate it. It is not as effective when it comes to removing ALL the hair. It takes longer to do a brazilian wax because the wax has to "set" up and harden before it can be removed...and our clients tell us it is more painful (possibly because the rip must be slower).
We have taken a much requested service (the brazilian -bikini wax) and made it better. By using only soft wax, we have found that hair removal is more complete and risks to the skin (tearing ) is eliminated with proper technique.
Want to try a brazilian bikini wax? Then come see us at Wax Me Too salons in Orem, Draper, Salt Lake City, Layton and St. George!
Brazilian waxing, its what we do best!

Hair Removal Through Waxing Not Laser

Body Waxing, especially in the Brazilian-Bikini area is an exciting trend that has taken off all over the United States and especially here in Utah. For about ten years now, hair has become something passe. No one wants hair, unless its on your head,of course. A few years back, people tried laser hair removal, most with disappointing results and a hit to the bank account. Then, some sisters from Brazil started a trend known as Brazilian waxing and ...it caught on.

At Wax Me Too Salons (5 here in Utah- Layton, Salt Lake City, Draper, Orem and St. George ) brazilian waxing is our number one requested service. All we do is wax...although we also offer eyebrow designs and full body waxing (even toes and noses). If you have hair anywhere, we can wax it.

But why wax? Number one, it's addicting and for a variety of reasons. First and foremost it eliminates the need to shave for several weeks. Secondly, it's cost efficient with eyebrow shaping at the low end at $15.00 and full legs running (haha) at $55.00. Your basic bikini starts and $30.00 and depending on the depth of the waxing you would like, can go to about $50.00


If being hair free for several weeks and the saying goodbye to your razor isn't reason enough to wax, another is that the hair itself seems to thin out and those with really thick coarse hair, notice a finer and sometimes even a lighter regrowth. Those dark five o'clock shadows some get (and not only on their faces) can be diminished over time through monthly waxing.

Lastly, Utah folks love waxing because it is all about the senses. With shaving, you get prickles. With waxing, you get soft, smooth and sexy skin! We like to say at Wax Me Too...."waxing...it isn't JUST about eyebrows anymore"

Because we are waxing specialists, we can't say too much about laser except what we have heard from our clients who laser. It's painful, it doesn't last, it's time consuming and it's expensive. We have hundreds of clients come to our salon after laser treatments for one simple reason....the hair always seems to grow back! With waxing, the hair removal is not permanent, but it looks like with with laser, it isn't permanent either.

From Brows to Toes & Everything in Between

"From brows to toes & everything in between" Wax Me Too Salon is Utah's premiere waxing only salon.

Although we specialize in the popular brazilian wax there are a great number of clients just not ready for complete hair removal down under. Just because you don't want to go braziliandoesn't mean you are not ready for a little "landscaping" down under.

Wax Me Too offers three variations of bikini-brazilian waxing. Our most modest wax is the typical bikini wax which includes hair removal outside the panty line...most typically in the crease of the legs. We will also clean up the "above the panty" hairline which in some cases starts below the navel. No one wants straggly hairs peeping out over the top of their swimsuit.

Secondly, we offer a deep bikini wax which one can say is in between a modest bikini and the "take it all" brazilian wax. The deep bikini wax brings the hair line in...so far that it is almost a rectangle of hair from top to bottom. As indelicate as it may sound, the deep bikini also includes hair removal from the bum!

A full brazilian wax, while our most popular service, includes hair removal from the front, all the way up through the back! Some choose to leave a "landing strip" or "triangle" of hair but most just want to take it all off!

Any wax you choose, you can be sure that at Wax Me Too Salons, each team member is a master esthetician trained specifically in the art of waxing!

We put foremost, safety in waxing, sanitation in waxing, and the education of our clients about their waxing service. Why wax at Wax Me Too? Hair removal through waxing is all we do!

Bikini Waxing in Orem Utah

Well, it seems almost crazy, but we are getting ready to open Wax Me Too Salon # 5 in the friendly town of Orem. Orem has long been on our minds as we have a large number of clients coming to Draper to wax with us!

Somethings things just work out. Joann and I decided that 2012 was going to be our Utah County year. First of January we had a lead to a salon that was renting space. We checked it out, but, it just didn't have quite the right feel.

Discouraged, we decided to do what we had in the past and started making phone calls. A few phone calls later (almost like it happened when we opened in Layton) we made a connection!

Our new waxing only salon will be in a fabulous location on State Street, right across the street from the University mall.

We hope to be open for waxing business....you know, hair removal for all those pesky hairs "from brows to toes & inbetween..." March 1st 2012.

For coupons on waxing, just visit our website waxmetoo.com and be sure to look at our Orem page.

The First Time Brazilian Waxing Experience

So you want to have a first time brazilian wax but wait...it's kind of scary. Chances are you've done your research and have landed here at Wax Me Too, Utah's premier waxing salon. It's no joke when I say we do over 1000 brazilian waxes each month! Waxing is what we do, all day long, so we promise- you will be in great hands.

You may have a lot of questions and some expectations about this whole process so the point of this article is to put you at ease and to let you know what you can expect when getting a wax at any Wax Me Too Salon.

Upon arrival you will be given a form and asked to fill it out. This form will alert your esthetician to any contraindications or special concerns you may have about waxing. We will want to know if you've waxed before, if you had any negative reactions to waxing, and most importantly,if you are on any medications that could cause your skin to react to the wax! We want this experience to be the best possible- and this client form is of the utmost importance.

After this, your esthetician will show you into the treatment room which is esthetically "cute" if I may say so myself...yet clinically clean. The treatment table will be covered with fresh and laundered linens and a environmentally friendly and comfortable mat. We have a place for you to hang your pants and put your shoes. A small drape, which will be used to preserve your modesty, is on the bed. For your privacy, your esthetician will leave the room momentarily while you change, take a deep breath and convince yourself that you are really about to do this!

Once you are set, your esthetician will come back into the rooms, wash her hands and put on gloves (for your safty!) The area to be waxed with be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe and voila--you are ready for the first application of wax. The warm wax (not hot) is applied to the hair, usually the section just below the belly button. A strip of muslin is placed over this wax and then, with your help in pulling the skin taut (it hurts less) the strip is removed, the wax is removed and VOILA, the hair is removed.

You will sigh a big sigh of relief because:
a) it didn't hurt as bad as you thought it would and
b) you will be fascinated by the hairless smooth patch of skin you see and
c) you didn't pass out, scream, yell or hit your esthetician like you thought you might!

Meanwhile, your humble esthetician will wipe the sweat from her brow- as we never know what might happen with our nervous clients once that first wax is removed--- a scream, a grab at the hand, a punch to the jaw....just kidding.

So we move on.

We do much of the front area and then ask you to turn onto your side with knees in the fetal position. Unlike other salons, we don't ask you to put your rear in the air or get onto your hands and knees! That is just a little too embarressing for you and not only that, its hard on the arms.

The back area takes a minute and by this time, we know the name of your boyfriend- girlfriend what you got for Christmas,what you didn't get that you wanted and just like that, we are finished.

However, before we are completely, finally, totally finished and ready to leave the room finished...we will make sure your wax is perfect and take the time to remove any tiny left over hairs with our tweezers. We do adhere to a "no hair left behind" policy. Can't take credit for that line, as G W Bush said it first, although we substituted the word children for hair!

At this point in time, you are in awe that we finished your whole brazilian wax and it took ...what? 15 minutes or so? We've been chatting and talking the whole time and you've just made a new friend. Of course, we are thrilled that we have a new client and that you love your wax.

Have to say, we take a lot of pride in being Utah's premier waxing salon and that you chose US to do your waxing.

Waxing session is over and we will leave you with a cool clean towel just in case you feel a "sticky" that we missed! We leave you to your privacy to get dressed.

As you dress...you should be feeling a sense of elation. By George, you did it. Cross one of the bucket list!

We know you want to shout out and holler to the whole world about your brazilian wax, so we have created a really fun facebook page that you can join and join in on the wonderful world of waxing conversations (and humor).

So, not only did you live to tell the tale to all of your friends (because of our great referral program where we give you 10% off your next service for each friend that books with us) but before you leave, we will have you re-booked with us next month for your second ever wax. In the back of your mind you are kissing your razor goodbye (and good riddance) and are looking forward to one month of hair-free.

By the time you leave, you will be fully educated on how best to care for your newly waxed skin. You will be reassured that should you have any questions about your waxing treatment that you may call us!

So, what are you waiting for? Schedule Your First Brazilian Wax book that service and, find us on Facebook!
