Bikini Wax And Cleanliness

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Bikini waxing does bring its own set of dangers, particularly when it comes to the potential for infection.  As such, we always caution patients about making sure they clean their bodies adequately before coming in for their session.

While the attending cosmetologist will likely apply a cleansing solution before proceeding with your bikini wax, you should [...]

Bikini Wax Stencils

Monday, May 10th, 2010

While I prefer my bikini waxes bare with absolutely nothing remaining, most people do opt for a small piece of landing strip right above the line – yes, that line! Usually trimmed and shaped in natural looking form, the strip often looks like a natural early growth.

Lately, I’ve been thinking of getting my waxes done with [...]

How Much Does A Bikini Wax Cost?

Monday, May 10th, 2010

The cost of a bikini wax usually varies with the type of waxing you’re getting done, as well as the general price range of the salon where you’re visiting.  Let’s say you’re a regular girl in the city, coming in for a treatment at an average-priced salon in a middle-income commercial area.

Given that setting, your [...]

What To Wear When Getting A Bikini Wax

Monday, May 10th, 2010

While what you wear isn’t the most important thing when considering going in for a bikini wax, it pays to prepare a little. Choosing appropriate underwear can actually help make the process both mess-free and a little less painful.

* Extremely soft underwear: You will want to wear very soft, unintrusive panties that won’t rub your [...]

Three Reasons To Get A Bikini Wax From A Licensed Professional

Monday, May 10th, 2010

1. Experience.  Experience, when it comes to something as intimate and potentially painful as a bikini wax, counts a lot.  Like every other skill, well-worn hands can typically manage the waxing better, apart from being more sensitive to specific client needs (because they’ve likely encountered similar situations).

2. Less pain.  Trained aestheticians will generally know how to [...]

Hard Wax Vs Soft Wax

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Not sure if it’s just my skin type but hard wax is really ideal for me when getting my bikini wax done. I’ve tried several salons over the years and only one of them offered the hard wax. Guess where I’ve been having my sessions since?
I really recommend you try it. Look for a spa that [...]

Brazilian, American, Playboy Wax: What’s The Difference?

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Bikini waxing is fairly simple. You spread and the attendant yanks it. Just kidding.

But there really isn’t much to it. It’s just the same as any regular body waxing procedure with a little extra care because the area’s just a tad more sensitive than the average body part.
So what’s all this Brazilian, Playboy, American, Vanilla [...]

Salon Bikini Wax Vs Home Bikini Wax

Monday, May 10th, 2010

With home DIY kits readily available in stores, is it still worth it to take a trip to the salon to get your bikini hair out of the way?

Painless Bikini Wax: Possible?

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I’ll be honest.  In my opinion, painless bikini waxes are downright impossible.  Anytime you pull hair out of your body, especially one as sensitive as those nether regions, there’s bound to be some sting.

Of course, there are ways to make sure that you suffer the least amount of pain during your actual procedure:

Schedule your “painless” [...]

Hot Waxes and Cold Waxes

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Hot waxes for hair removal are designed to melt just slightly above body temperature. When placed on the skin, they fall like butter on a hot pan and spread very easily. They trap hair in the wax as they turn solid and harden, forcing it to stick to the wax when removed, pulling down to [...]
