Brazilian Butterfly

One of the worst brazilian I have ever had.
I had one of the worst brazilians ever yesterday at the Bourke Street location. The technician (Bianca) had a way of doing the wax that seemed terrible– she would cover a very large area with wax and tear it off, but because of her technique she had to go over the same area 5 – 10 times. Most times a technician has only had to go over an area twice at most (my hair usually comes out very easily). This meant that the whole area was pink and bleeding and she still ended up having to use tweezers on the hairs that she couldn’t get out. Again– I’ve never had a technician need to use tweezers. It’s the next day and my skin is still bumpy and irritated. Additionally, I can now tell that many hairs broke off just above the skin, rather than being pulled out which means in a few days my brazilian will be worthless (it isn’t smooth even now). The real kicker is that when she announced she was done I pointed out a big patch of hairs that she had failed to notice. i’m not sure if this is a problem with the salon or just the one girl, but I would avoid the whole place and if you must go definitely avoid Bianca,

There are always anxieties when one looks for a new waxer. I have extremely sensitive skin and have had some therapists draw blood. Naturally, I was very anxious when I had to look for a new waxer in Melbourne. Unilocal pointed me to Brazillian Butterfly in Carlton North.
When I made the booking, I advised that I had very sensitive skin. BB assigned me a senior therapist, who was instructed to use hot wax which was kinder to sensitive skin. Angela, my therapist was skilled, gentle but firm, and knowledgeable. I have to say that this may have been the most gentle wax I’ve experienced.
BB is clean and has a relaxed but funky environment. The receptionist was polite and efficient. It was such a pleasure coming here, and relief that I’ve found a good local waxing place so quickly.
I highly recommend Angela at Brazillian Butterfly.

The treatments on offer at Brazilian Butterfly are never going to be pleasant. In fact, they’re extremely painful but, hey, we keep on doing it.
Most importantly the staff are extremely professional and extremely quick. They also make an effort to ensure that you’re comfortable, well as comfortable as possible all things considered.
The place is bright and clean, and while the prices aren’t cheap it’s well worth it for the quality of the service.

I am embarrassed to admit that I’m one of those stupid people who allows ridiculously painful ‘beauty’ treatments to be done to my body simply because it’s what we’re told is attractive these days.
So, for all y’all fellow fashion victims out there, come one come all to Brazilian Butterfly and make believe you’re the girl from Ipanema.
They do a fabulous job here and they’re pretty quick too, and I reckon their prices are so reasonable compared to many other Brazilian wax places around.
As far as I can tell, all the staff are female and they’ve all been consistently lovely and friendly and totally competent at their work. The treatment rooms are clean and uncluttered, and there are hooks to hang your clothes on.
Other than the pain that comes with the wax treatments, which is mostly inevitable, the only downside is the music they play — mainstream, commercial radio. Terrible. Like the treatment isn’t painful enough already.
