    I do not get the full "Brazilian," just the creases of the legs... that area. It is painful, for for about ten seconds. Some of the technicians are more adept than others and there are different kinds of wax, etc. that mitigate some of the pain. But, it does hurt. If you are a wimp, I don't recommend it.

    I use those home wax kits for bikini areas, which are really just super-sticky tape type pieces. I don't wax everything, just a little beyond bikini lines. Yes, it hurts, but you sort of get used to it. Sometimes I shave instead but I need a pretty new blade to do that.

    And I tried Nair once (just on my legs) and no chemical burn but it smelled horrendous and really only took off about half of the hair.

    I trim very close with clippers (the haircut type ones), keeps it nice and close with no ingrown hairs or irritation.
