Bikini Wax: two words that cause women to wince and squirm. Whether you’re a first-timer or a waxing junkie, the idea never seems pleasant. But it can be tolerable, especially if you know what to expect.
What are the various kinds of bikini waxes? Traditional: The most modest bikini wax that involves the removal of hair that might show while wearing a swimsuit. Brazilian: Everything in the bikini area from front to back is removed.
Will it hurt? The aesthetician will apply a very gentle hypoallergenic wax that will be warm but never hot. Using a gentle high quality wax is an important element and helps to prevent red or irritated skin following treatment. The aesthetician will remove the wax with a quick pull. Expect it to sting but only for a split second.
How far in advance should you wax before an event or wearing a bathing suit? Generally, the day before is fine. If you know you have extra-sensitive skin, go two days before. Newly waxed skin is a bit sensitive to the sun, so be sure to apply sunscreen around the bikini line.
The take home message: for those men and women who have tried waxing at home or endured the grueling task of shaving – consider waxing from a professional. Quick, discreet, and a longer lasting result. For more information on our waxing services please contact the spa reception team at 248-524-3622.
