Barenaked Body Sugaring Salon offers the natural way to remove unwanted hair in your body by using sugar. The procedure is safe and they use 100% natural products.

We started with the Brazilian wax for my private areas. They would use a wad of sugar wax and spread it across your skin then quickly rip it off, your hair coming with it. I suggest, for first timers, to drink two advils an hour before your service. It could be painful but Bare Naked Banawe does their best to lessen it. They would press down on the newly waxed area to dampen the pain. It works!

Belle La Peau Professional Waxing Salon is noted for its chic ambiance with pink decors. They offer both waxing and sugaring for Brazilian wax.

In Belle La Peau they don't use paper or cloth to pull away the paper but instead they use a wooden popsicle stick and wait for the clay to dry and pull it off very quickly. The clay dries very fast so you shouldn't worry about that if you're a bit hurry. I felt the pain when i was waxed on the first time and it feels numb and painful as hell. Though, i am very thankful to my waxer because she made me comfortable.

Hey Sugar's interior screams pastel colors and Instagrammable spots in every corner. They offer organic and all-natural waxing options.

To be honest, it was indeed freaking but briefly excruciating. On the bright side, my waxing technician was so skilled that she did the waxing in sections and yet it did not last that long. The pain was fleeting and I was told that my first Brazilian wax would be the most painful one. I took comfort in hearing that and I believe I would go for it once again as the results were fantastic!

5. Lay Bare

Priced at PHP 500.00, Lay Bare offers the most affordable Brazilian waxing service in Manila. They also offer waxing services from brow-to-toe, using only all natural ingredients.

I go to the Lay Bare Shaw branch every few months. There is no set time on when you should get a wax, but for the most part, just get a wax when you are starting to get annoyed with the new hair growth. Don’t go during, or immediately after, your period. Apparently, it’s bad to get a wax during that time – it’s more painful because you are more sensitive, and it can get messy, too.

Lay Bare has branches at Glorietta 3, SM Mall of Asia, Robinsons Place Manila, Uptown Mall, and Market! Market!

Strip is the best waxing place in town - they know and love what they're doing. Most important of all though, the pain is more manageable compared to other waxing salons! Their attendants are trained to work very quickly so they can be done in as fast as 15 minutes.
