What should I do to prepare for my bikini wax?
Personal hygiene is a must. Taking a shower the day of your waxing is highly encouraged with particular attention paid to the area in question including the area around the anus. Personal hygiene will make the esthetician’s job a bit easier too. Exfoliating in the bikini area is also a good idea to help lift any ingrown hairs.
Clip your pubic hair down to 1/4 inch in length, no shorter please. Pubic hair that is clipped down to a 1/4 high is the easiest to remove and that will cause less discomfort. You can trim your pubic hair with scissors, mustache clippers, or hair clippers. Don’t shave it down to nothing because at the shorter lengths the hair is very stiff and difficult to remove.
If you are especially sensitive to pain, you can take a pain reliever 1/2 hour prior to your waxing.
