Your first bikini wax can be a little nerve-wracking, but the results are always worth it. Follow these guidelines form our spa in the South Loop to ease your stress.
Before Your Wax
- Grow Out Your Hair: The most important thing to do before your first wax is to make sure your hair is long enough. For optimal hair removal, your hair should be at least the length of a grain of rice.
- Exfoliate: Using a gentle exfoliate before your wax is key for a great experience. This makes it easier for the wax to adhere to the hair instead of your skin, which makes the experience less painful in the long run.
During Your Wax
- Breathe & Relax: While you might experience slight discomfort throughout your wax, it is best to stay calm and take deep breaths. Holding your breath will only cause you to focus more on the pain.
- Keep Your Skin Taut: During the wax, your wax specialist will instruct you to hold your skin taut for certain strips. This will allow for the quickest and easiest results.
Wax Types
There are two different waxing styles at our spa in the South Loop but talk to your waxing specialist if you desire something different.
- Bikini Line: In this wax, the professional will only take hair off the side and top of your bikini area. This means that if you are wearing a bikini, no hairs will be sticking out.
- Bikini Full: Go one extra step and instruct your waxing professional to take as much or as little off the front of your bikini area as you want.
