| - Lovely new place. 5 stars for the name but I can't give them 5 stars because it's a little pricey. With tax & tip you're looking at just under $60 for a full Brazilian. There are places in mtl that will take care of you for half that.
This place specializes in waxing, so you know you're not about to get some rando barber taking you into his back room and ripping out your pubes for a quick easy $30, giving you infected ingrowns in the process.
I booked a same-morning appointment for a Brazilian and was shown into a very clean, pleasant room, offered some baby wipes to freshen up and a towel to cover myself before the aesthetician left so I could get undressed. All very dignified and calming. The table was very comfy.
Fuzz specializes in hard wax, which they advertise as less painful than normal hot waxing strips. This being my first time with hard wax (but definitely not my first Brazilian), I will say that each individual strip was indeed less painful than traditional waxing strips. The downside, however, is that it seemed to take more strips and was therefore a much longer process, making me question whether it was worth it for only slightly less pain.
Hard wax works by only sticking to the hair, and not the skin. Because of this, it doesn't always get the hair out at the root. It often tears the hairs near the base. It's now day 2, and aesthetically, I can't tell the difference between this and a regular wax. But will my little black curly hairs grow back faster because they didn't get ripped out at the roots? Only time will tell...
