Why a Bikini Line Wax is Perfect for Waxing Beginners

Getting a bikini wax can seem intimidating, but we promise it’s not! Tidying up some hair growth can be a simple, hassle free process that renders immediate results. If you’re interested in diving into the world of waxing, let’s start by getting your feet wet with one of the most frequently requested waxing sessions: the bikini line wax.

Getting your feet wet with bikini line waxing

Dipping your toes into the world of waxing means that you don't have to fully commit to throwing out your razor. When you start with something small, yet impactful like your bikini line, you get to see if transitioning into the world of waxing is in the cards. 

The perfect middle ground between shaving and waxing

For those who are not familiar with waxing and what the hair removal process may be like, beginning with routine bikini waxes is a great place to begin the transition. Why, you may ask? Simply because it’s a small, relatively important part of the body that we hope to keep hair free. Also, this area is not often exposed to the sun and can offer an easy start into properly caring for your skin post-wax. 

Gives you an idea of just how beneficial waxing can be for the skin

With a bikini line wax, you can get an idea of just how beneficial waxing can be for the skin as you compare it to the other parts of your body you continue to shave. Notice the lack of bumps, cuts, and irritation as your skin remains hair free for much longer than the other parts of your body you continue to shave.

Great chance to get comfortable with the mild discomfort that some people feel

Whether it’s discomfort from the removal of hard wax from the pubic area, or if it’s just the awkward nature of having someone you don't know too well face to face with your intimate bits, getting a bikini wax is a great way to warm up to waxing. Since a bikini wax removes hair from all around your bikini line, it’s a great introductory service that will let you get to know your esthetician before something like a Brazilian, that requires you to be bare from the waist down.

Pre-appointment tips for successful waxing

Let’s add a little more confidence to your plate by giving you a step-by-step guide on how to prepare for a successful waxing appointment. After all, what could be better than the feeling of walking into your appointment feeling confident and well informed? No one likes to feel unprepared and caught off guard by the unexpected. 

How long does your hair need to be?

First and foremost, a successful waxing session cannot be completed without a minimum of a quarter of an inch of hair growth - this rule applies to any area of the body. Additionally, hair that is too long can also be detrimental. Try to avoid hair that is three quarters of an inch or longer as they will require trimming prior to your session.

What is the process like?

The overall waxing process is simple. Once you arrive, your wax technician will greet you and discuss your goals for today's appointment. You should take this time to inform your technician of any products or medications you’re on to determine if they will interfere with your wax. Once all of your questions are answered, you will be asked to undress and be seated on the waxing table. Your waxing tech will wipe you down and then jump right into the process of waxing. 

What should you consider prior to showing up?

Plan your wax around your activities! While you may think that getting a wax the day before a party on the beach is the ideal time, it’s not! Make sure that you schedule your waxing appointment with a few days of quiet activities both before and after your appointment. 

Aftercare, especially if you’re considering a Brazilian wax next time!

Having a successful wax is heavily dependent on how you take care of the area following your appointment. Ingrown hairs, prolonged irritation, and more can all be avoided, as long as you follow your esthetician’s guidance!

Consider an ingrown hair serum to follow up with 

If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, try to keep an ingrown hair serum handy. Battling those little red bumps around your bikini area isn’t fun, but we know how to keep them away for good!  

Wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid friction and sweat

Wearing loose, comfortable clothes minimizes the likelihood of chafing and irritation. The last thing you want is to have your freshly waxed skin be red and irritated for several days.

Moisturize, hydrate and get plenty of rest

Keep your skin hydrated, inside and out. Making sure you’re moisturized gives your skin the best chance at remaining smooth and texture-free. 48 hours after your appointment, make sure you exfoliate two to three times a week to prevent the buildup of dead skin. It’ll also help your moisturizer reach deeper layers of your skin!
