A classic bikini wax offers a quick, discreet tidy of hair outside your knicker line, leaving a smooth, natural shape. Gentle wax and precise technique help minimise irritation while supporting comfort, even on sensitive skin. Expect longer lasting softness that feels fresh and confident.

What's Included

Your appointment includes:

  • A brief consultation to confirm your preferred shape and any sensitivities.
  • Cleanse and preparation of the area.
  • Use of hot or warm wax chosen for comfort and hair type.
  • Precise removal of hair outside the knicker line for a neat, natural look.
  • Soothing post-wax treatment to calm and protect skin.
  • Discreet draping and professional hygiene throughout.
  • Personal aftercare guidance for smooth results.

Who It's For

Ideal if you prefer a natural shape with a neat finish rather than full removal. Perfect for everyday comfort, holidays and low-maintenance grooming.

A reassuring choice for first-time waxing and those with sensitive skin. Also suited to regular maintenance when you want consistency and comfort.

Duration & Appointment Timing

A classic bikini wax usually takes around 15 minutes. First visits may include a little extra time for consultation.

For best results, hair should be at least a grain of rice long, about 0.5 cm. If you have shaved, allow 2 to 3 weeks of growth. Exfoliate lightly the day before, avoid heavy lotions on the day, and wear breathable underwear. Skin can be more sensitive just before or during your period.

Aftercare & Maintenance

For 24 hours avoid heat, steam, hot baths, gym, swimming, tanning, tight clothing and perfumed products on the area. Keep the skin clean and hands off to prevent irritation.

After 48 hours, gently exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week and moisturise daily to help prevent ingrown hairs. Book every 4 to 6 weeks for finer regrowth and more comfortable appointments over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What area does a classic bikini wax cover?
It removes hair that sits outside your knicker line, keeping a natural shape. It does not remove hair from the labia or between the cheeks.
Does a bikini wax hurt?
You may feel brief, sharp sensations as the wax is removed, but it is over quickly. Skilled technique and the right wax help reduce discomfort, and most clients find it easier after the first session.
How long will the results last?
Expect smooth results for around 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair growth. With regular appointments, regrowth often feels finer and sparser.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Let hair grow to around 0.5 cm, about a grain of rice. Lightly exfoliate the day before, avoid heavy lotions or oils on the day, and wear breathable underwear. If you have shaved, allow 2 to 3 weeks of growth.
Is it safe during pregnancy or with sensitive skin?
Many pregnant or sensitive-skin clients can wax safely, though you may feel more sensitive. Avoid waxing if you use prescription retinoids, have taken isotretinoin in the last 6 months, or have recent peels or sunburn in the area. If unsure, seek advice first.
