What to Expect at Your First Bikini Wax Appointment

What to Expect at Your First Bikini Wax Appointment

Booked your first bikini wax and not sure what to expect? You’re in the right place. At The Bikini Wax Specialist, my job is to make you feel relaxed, respected, and totally at ease — even if it’s your first time baring all.


Here’s how it all works:

Before Your Appointment

  • Let it grow: You’ll need about ½ cm of hair — like a grain of rice — for the wax to grip.
  • Freshen up: Shower beforehand if you like, but don’t worry — there’s no pressure.
  • Wear loose clothing: After your wax, you’ll want to stay comfy and cool.

 

When You Arrive

  • I’ll walk you through exactly what’s happening and answer any questions.
  • You’ll be given privacy to undress from the waist down — you can leave your top and socks on.
  • There’ll be fresh wipes on the bed in case you’d like to freshen up.
  • You’ll lie on a clean, hygienic bed with a fresh towel — no exceptions.

 

During the Wax

  • I start by cleansing the skin to remove any oils or residue.
  • Then I apply a layer of pre-wax oil to create a barrier between your skin and the wax.
  • Throughout the treatment, I’ll reapply the oil as needed to keep your skin protected and the comfort level high.
  • I use gentle, peelable hot wax only — never strip wax on bikini areas.
  • You’ll be talked through the process calmly and clearly.

 

After the Wax

  • I apply a soothing post-wax lotion, tailored to your skin’s needs.
  • You’ll leave with simple aftercare advice to keep things smooth and irritation-free.
  • Most first-timers say, “That was way easier than I thought!”

 

Whether it’s your first wax or your fiftieth, I tailor every treatment to your comfort, skin, and hair type. Nervous? Don’t be — you’re in my great hands.
