Waxing in Paris 1st
Classic, Brazilian or Hollywood bikini wax, legs, underarms, arms, lip, brows and full body — professional hot wax, private treatment room, a fresh spatula at every pass. A three-minute walk from the Louvre.
Waxing at You Rêve Paris uses professional hot wax in a private treatment room, with a fresh spatula at every pass. Classic bikini €25 (20 min), Brazilian €35, Hollywood €40 (35 min); underarms €15; full legs €35 (35 min); brows €15, lip €10. Legs + bikini + underarms packages start at €50. Allow from 10 min for the lip to 60 min for a package or a full body. On a first visit, the practitioner goes over the areas with you before starting. Payment is by card or cash at the salon, or by card online when you book. The salon is at 7 rue d'Argenteuil, Paris 1st, a 3-minute walk from the Louvre, open every day, 10am to 8pm, except 1 May. The team speaks English, French and Chinese, and online booking shows live availability.
Bikini, package or single area: where to start?
Three ways to book — all with hot wax, by our therapists, in a private treatment room.
Classic, Brazilian or Hollywood
A treatment that often raises questions the first time. Three options depending on what you wear and what you want to keep — Hollywood with no surcharge for the area between the cheeks.
Legs + bikini + underarms packages
Legs, bikini and underarms together in one slot at one price: €10 to €20 saved compared with booking them separately, underarms included in all six packages.
Single areas
Legs, arms, underarms, brows, upper lip, chin, back, stomach… up to a full-body wax. Every area has its own price and duration, and they combine in one booking.
Classic, Brazilian or Hollywood bikini wax: which one?
Three shapes, one wax — low-temperature hard wax, applied without strips on this area
The classic bikini wax removes only the hair that shows outside your underwear or swimwear: neat, discreet, enough for fuller-cut swimwear. The Brazilian goes further on the sides and between the legs and keeps a thin central strip — the middle option, for high-cut swimwear. The Hollywood — listed as "Full bikini" on our price list and when you book — leaves nothing, including between the cheeks: the comfortable choice under close-fitting clothes, with no surcharge.
| Criterion | Classic | Brazilian | Hollywood |
|---|---|---|---|
| Area | What shows outside swimwear | Sides + between the legs, central strip kept | Everything, including between the cheeks |
| Duration | 20 min | 25 min | 35 min |
| Lasts | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks |
| First time | The recommended starting point | Possible | Possible, in short strips |
| Price | €25 | €35 | €40 |
Hard wax on the bikini line
On the bikini line and underarms we use a low-temperature hot wax applied without strips (hard wax): spread thickly, it sets in thirty seconds and lifts off in one piece. It grips the hair, not the skin — less pulling, a clean outline and better tolerance on sensitive skin. On large areas (legs, arms) we use a faster strip wax. We do not offer sugar (oriental) waxing; our guide explains when it is worth choosing.
First time: what to expect
Tell us when you book. Your therapist confirms the shape with you, checks for contraindications, explains each step, and will often suggest starting with the classic. Strips are short, you hold the skin taut when asked, and you can request a pause at any time. Timing tip: avoid the day before and the first days of your period; the most comfortable window runs from day five to day twelve of the cycle.
Legs + bikini + underarms packages: the six options
Underarms are included everywhere; the difference is the bikini shape and how much leg
| Service | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Classic bikini + Half legs + Underarms | 45 min | €50 |
| Brazilian bikini + Half legs + Underarms | 60 min | €55 |
| Full bikini + Half legs + Underarms | 60 min | €60 |
| Classic bikini + Full legs + Underarms | 60 min | €60 |
| Brazilian bikini + Full legs + Underarms | 60 min | €65 |
| Full bikini + Full legs + Underarms | 60 min | €70 |
How to choose, in practice
- Which bikini shape? Fuller underwear → classic. High-cut swimwear → Brazilian. Close-fitting clothes → Hollywood.
- Which season? Winter, few dresses → half legs (knee to foot). Summer, travel, dresses and shorts → full legs (up to the top of the thigh).
- Your tolerance? First time → classic + half legs. Regular → you already know.
The most complete package (€70) costs €20 less than the three areas booked separately. Book your next session as you leave: you lock in your slot and stop putting it off.
Lip, brow and chin waxing
Quick treatments (from 10 min), easy to add to a manicure
An upper-lip wax (€10, 10 min) is quick and precise with hard wax; brows (€15) are shaped and tidied for a defined look; the chin (€10) is a hormonally sensitive area we treat gently. The face package — brows + lip + chin — costs €20. Ideal with a manicure or a lash tint in the same visit.
| Service | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Package - Eyebrows + Upper lip + Chin | 30 min | €20 |
| Eyebrows | 15 min | €15 |
| Upper lip | 10 min | €10 |
| Chin | 10 min | €10 |
| Nostrils or Ears | 15 min | €10 |
What happens during a waxing session?
In the treatment room, step by step
- A quick chat — your therapist confirms the areas, checks for contraindications (broken skin, recent sun, ongoing treatment) and adapts for a first time.
- Skin prep — cleansing, then a fine powder absorbs moisture so the wax grips the hair, not the skin.
- Application and removal — wax applied with the growth, removed against it with the skin held taut, in short strips on sensitive areas. The spatula never goes back into the pot.
- Finish — the few remaining hairs are tweezed, then a soothing treatment calms the redness. Nothing is left.
Aftercare, and how often to come back
For 24 hours the skin is sensitised: lukewarm showers only, no hammam, sauna, swimming pool or sun, no intense sport, loose cotton clothing, a soothing cream morning and evening. After 48 hours everything is back to normal. Skin stays smooth for three to five weeks depending on the area; with regular waxing the hair grows finer and slower. Let it reach 3 to 5 mm (two to three weeks after shaving) before your next session.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a classic, Brazilian and Hollywood bikini wax?
The classic bikini wax (€25, 20 min) removes what shows outside your swimwear. The Brazilian (€35, 25 min) goes further on the sides and between the legs and keeps a central strip. The Hollywood — "Full bikini" on our price list — (€40, 35 min) removes everything, including between the cheeks, with no surcharge.
Which wax do you use?
Professional hot wax, matched to the area: strip wax on large areas (legs, arms) and low-temperature hard wax, applied without strips, on the bikini line and underarms — it sets in thirty seconds and lifts off in one piece, gripping the hair rather than the skin. The spatula is changed at every pass. We do not offer sugar (oriental) waxing.
How much does a lip wax cost in Paris?
€10 for the upper lip (10 min), €10 for the chin, €15 for brows, or €20 for the face package (brows + lip + chin). These are the shortest treatments on the menu — Walk-ins are welcome, subject to same-day availability — calling ahead is the safest. Booking online secures your slot.
Does it hurt?
Honestly: the first session is the least comfortable, especially on the bikini line and underarms — an intense one-to-two-second sting per strip that fades at once. From the second session the hair is finer and less anchored, and it is noticeably easier. We work sensitive areas in short strips, and you can ask for a pause at any time.
How long should the hair be?
About 3 to 5 mm, i.e. two to three weeks after shaving. Shorter than that, the wax cannot grip every hair and the result is patchy; longer brings nothing extra.
Can I be waxed during my period?
Yes, but the skin is more sensitive, especially in intimate areas. The most comfortable window is between day five and day twelve of your cycle. If you would rather postpone, just say so when you arrive.
How long does waxing last, and how often should I come back?
Three to five weeks depending on the area: three to four for the bikini line, four to five for legs. Come back every four weeks in spring and summer, every five to six in winter. With regular waxing the hair grows back finer and slower — something a razor never does.
What should I do after the session?
For 24 hours: no hot bath, hammam, sauna, swimming pool or sun, no intense sport, loose cotton clothing. A soothing cream (aloe, calendula) morning and evening. After 48 hours everything is back to normal.
It is my first bikini wax — what happens?
Tell us when you book or when you arrive: your therapist explains every step before starting, will often suggest beginning with the classic bikini wax (€25) and paces the strips with you. A private treatment room, a fresh spatula at every pass, a soothing treatment to finish.
Is there anything I should tell you before waxing?
Broken skin, recent sunburn or sunbed sessions, retinoid or fruit-acid treatments, prominent varicose veins on the area: mention it and your therapist will adapt or postpone that area. When in doubt, ask us before booking.
