Wax in the City specializes in hair removal from just about anywhere.

Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City” once declared that she felt like walking sex after she had a Brazilian. “I’m very aware of down there now,” she quipped after visiting one of Los Angeles’ premier waxers to the stars.

Vegas now has its own spa that caters solely to waxing and takes its name from that classic female friends show. Wax in the City devotes all of its services to the art of hair removal. Owner Kelly Knapp says that the aforementioned Brazilian (where all of the pubic hair is removed) and eyebrows are the two most popular services. “You name it, we wax it,” she proclaimed. Knapp has a City Slicker that leaves a landing strip down there, and she can design triangles and hearts or use hair dye for the truly artistic client. Every client who receives a Brazilian or City Slicker walks out with a new thong, compliments of the spa.

The spa removes hair with Caron hard wax, which requires no cotton sheets and hardens quickly to be taken off. For those afraid of the pain of having hair ripped out by the root, Knapp recommends some ibuprofen beforehand, or attending one of her special girls night out parties where she brings in her best clients in for discounted services and cocktails. Its upstairs location makes it private, and customers rarely have to wait long to get in.

And the main reason clients want a Brazilian? Says Knapp: “Sexually, it’s so much better.”
