What to expect

Before your appointment

Wear loose bottoms to your appointment. Cleanse the area beforehand — no lotions or oils.

Ideal hair length: ¼ inch.

During the wax

The full appointment takes about 15–25 minutes. Most studios use hard wax for bikini — it grips hair, not skin, so it's less painful than strip wax.

After & rebooking

Skip the gym and pool for 24 hours to avoid irritation.

Most clients rebook every 4 weeks.

Bikini wax FAQ

How much does a bikini wax cost?

Nationally, bikini waxs run $30–$55, with a typical price around $43. Premium metros (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami) sit 25–40% higher.

How long does a bikini wax take?

Plan for 15–25 minutes. First-time appointments tend to run a bit longer because the esthetician walks through aftercare.

How long does it last?

Results last 3–4 weeks. Hair grows back finer and sparser the more consistently you wax — most clients settle into a 4-week cadence.

How should I prep?

Wear loose bottoms to your appointment. Cleanse the area beforehand — no lotions or oils.

What's the aftercare?

Skip the gym and pool for 24 hours to avoid irritation.

How long should I let my hair grow first?

At least ¼ inch. Anything shorter and the wax won't grip; longer is fine but may be trimmed.
