How often should I get a bikini wax?

posted on 01/19/2009 | Back to Blog

Q: Dear Glow Beauty Guru 

I will be going on Spring Break 3/2-3/8. I'd like to get a two Brazilian waxes before I go since it's been a while since I've been waxed. I'd like to get one within the next few weeks and then one 48 hours before I leave (2/28). When do you recommend I get the first wax?

Sincerely,
Waxing Poetic


A: Dear Waxing Poetic,

Where are you going on your trip and can I come, too? You're mentioned that you're going away in a few weeks. Six, to be exact. What I'm wondering is if you know about how long it takes for your hair to grow back post wax. Hair cycles can be a tricky thing. We can estimate that we see our regular clients about 4 weeks between waxes.

That being said, hair cycles vary from person to person. So you may need a wax ever three weeks while your friend, Sally Smith, needs a wax ever six weeks (lucky her!). Keep in mind that you'll need some fuzz down there in order to get waxed right before your trip. Use your best judgment; there does need to be enough hair for the wax to grab.

Hope you have a wonderful time on your trip and please pick up some sunscreen to wear!

Sending xo and glow,

The Glow Beauty Gurus
