Who has had a brazilian wax?

II have extremely sensitive skin and the two times I was brave (or crazy) enough to try a brazilian, it bruised me badly on top of hurting so badly I could barely think for the duration of the appointment.

I actually get sugaring hair removal done instead of waxing. I get a brazilian and I have found that it is much less painful than traditional waxing. A sugar paste is used and they smooth it first in the opposite direction of hair growth and pull in the direction of hair growth. The paste only pulls the hairs instead of the hairs and skin like regualr waxing. Plus the sugar acts as a natural exfoliant so it decreases ingrown hairs! All around awesome!

I get mine done at the local beauty school for cheap.
