How to wax your private area female? ›

Waxing your bikini line at home is definitely an option! Clean and exfoliate the area first, then find a comfy place where you can perform the waxing. Apply warmed hard wax to the area, working in small sections. Follow up with a soothing aloe vera gel and gently exfoliate the area to keep ingrown hairs at bay.

Start at the baseline industry standard of 15-20% of the cost of your bikini wax. Feel free to tip at the lower end of this if your service was not up to your standards.

How long does waxing last? The amount of time waxing lasts for is dependent on the body area, and how quickly your hair grows.

Waxing can range from slightly uncomfortable to very painful, depending on the area being waxed, the sensitivity of your skin, and individual tolerance levels. Generally speaking, most people rate it as a 4-7 out of 10 in terms of pain intensity.

One of the most common mistakes to avoid while waxing at home is overheating or underheating your wax. Both issues can ruin your wax job and leave you with a mess. Overheating your wax makes it too runny and hard to work with. On the flip side, underheating your wax makes it too thick to apply in a nice, thin layer.

Be hairy. Your hair should be at least 1/4 inch in length (which makes it long enough to lay flat on your skin). Please don't shave for at least 3 weeks prior to your appointment to ensure that your hair is long enough! Also, if you've “let it go” down there and it seems out of control, don't worry!
