Bikini Wax Styles

Q: How often should I wax? And how should I deal with the growth between sessions?

A: Depending on how fast your hair grows, a good rule of thumb is to get waxed every four weeks or when your hair has grown out at least a quarter of an inch. If you are serious about making the hair down there less visible, be sure not to cave and shave. Waxing yanks the hair at its root and will cause slower, finer regrowth after a few monthly sessions. When hair is shaved, it is cut off at the surface of the skin, which is why you can feel stubble the next day. If you need a quick fix between sessions, apply alcohol to the area, then use a tweezer to pull out any noticeablehairs.

Traditional: Great for beginners. Hair is removed just outside of the bikini line.

Brazilian: 2-3 fingers width in the front remains, hair is taken off of the backside, and the labia is optional.

Playboy: (also known as “The Landing Strip”) One finger width in front remains, hair is taken off of the backside & off of the labia.

Sphinx: Everything off....like the hairless cat!
