Process
The client is asked to disrobe. Occasionally, for females, a paper g-string is provided to protect the client's modesty. The procedure starts with baby powder, talcum powder, or oil being spread liberally over the area to be waxed. This prevents the hot wax from sticking to the skin. Then, as in other forms of waxing, hot wax is spread over the area from which hair is to be removed. The wax is allowed to harden briefly, then one edge of the wax strip is pulled up and used as a 'tab' to pull off the rest of the wax, usually in the direction opposite of hair growth. The waxer then works his or her way around the body systematically removing the hair from the genital area, buttocks, and anus. This procedure removes the wax, hair, and any dead skin cells lying on the skin surface. The person performing the wax will then finish with tweezers to remove any stray hairs that the waxing missed. Finally, the remaining pubic hair (the so-called "landing strip") is either trimmed with scissors, or waxed off if the client requests it. The remaining hair may even be in a particular pattern (hearts are a popular option), or dyed.
The wax used is often a mixture of natural beeswax and tall oil rather than the more common synthetic 'waxes' used for regular leg waxing. It is felt that beeswax is stronger, and more effective at removing the thicker, coarser pubic hairs.
The pain involved with this procedure can be slight or acute and can continue for quite some time (from several seconds to minutes). Most of those willing to endure the procedure feel that the result is worth the discomfort. Furthermore, most feel that the procedure becomes less painful with subsequent treatments. Many products are available to lessen the pain, such as topical anesthetics.
Some advise following the procedure with an application of a hair inhibitor, which will slow the regrowth of hair and may halt regrowth completely. The results can last up to two months.
The benefits are similar to those of other types of waxing, such as lack of razor burn and soft hair regrowth. The disadvantages are also similar, though since it is performed on an extremely sensitive region of the body, the pain can be more acute.
It is recommended that one get a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician to perform this procedure, but with care it can safely be done on oneself with a home kit.
Due to the pain involved, and the need for a specialist to perform the waxing, home shaving kits have become popular to achieve similar effects to the Brazilian wax.

Don't use chemical hair removers, they are bad for your skin. Get a clipper, put on the #1 guard, and run that over your body. Do not wax your body. I am a Cosmetology Instructor and I know what I am talking about. Do not wax. You will regret it in the short run and the long run. Find a boyfriend who likes hairy guys with stubble and you will be very happy.

When you say full body wax, do you mean your whole body? I suggest take it slow because you might not tolerate the pain. And of course if it is full body wax that will include your genital area. Don't feel shy to ask question this is your body we are talking about and you are the client so you are entitled to ask question. Good luck.

I would guess no, but you can always get or not get what you want. You are the paying customer.
