Should I get a Bikini Wax?

bex · Chanel

if you just want a regular bikini wax and don't want to go to a salon/spa to have it done, check out "wax poetic" from sephora. I think Bliss Spa makes it. it is super gentle. i never waxed myself until i purchased this kit from sephora and now i only wax. i struggled the first time but since then i have been a pro.

Bex - now what do you mean when you say "if you just want a normal bikini wax"?

I get a normal bikini wax. I have been getting it done for about 5 years. In the beginning I had to to get it done about every 3 weeks, but now I get it done about 6 or 7 weeks. If I get lazy sometimes I will wait 2 months, but it really dones't look that bad so it is not a huge deal if I wait a little.

It's very nice, but sooooooo painful. I'm a huge baby.

Everytime I ever have tried to use the at home waxing stuff, nothing works for me. It doesn't even pull the hair off.

How much do you guys pay for a bikini wax?

If you have coarse hair- waxing will prob still give you ingrown hairs. That's what happened to me- even though I didn't have razor burn- red bumps were even higher. Use something exfoliating like Tendskin (plus tons of moisturizer because this is so drying) to help prevent this- works with shaving too. I only shave now because it's cheaper, more instant gratification, and I hate waiting for hair to grow in.

For me I've paid upwards $40 depending upon how much you want off, the more off the more it costs.

I have been getting regular bikini waxes for the past year, and I will NEVER go back to shaving. I pay $25, which I am told is very very cheap (especially for LA). It is awesome. And, honestly your hair does grow back softer and thinner. I highly recommend!
