Waxing is one way brides get ready for the big day, and the honeymoon that follows. Planning to go spend your honeymoon on a tropical beach or exotic destination where you’ll end up wearing bikinis and swimsuits quite a lot? Then here’s a rundown on what you need to know about waxing, from Bridal Guide.

When’s the ideal time to get waxed?
If you’ve been waxed before, then two days prior to your wedding date is good. However, if this is your first time to get waxed, it’s better if you book an appointment ten days before the wedding. This will give you enough time to get used to the treatment. Then, two days before the wedding, schedule another touch-up and you’re good to go.

Should I choose wax strips or hard wax?
Both treatments offer their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Strip wax is popular. However, it’s a slow and often a painful process. It could leave your skin feeling irritated and red or inflamed. In addition, hard wax, while applied hot, soon cools. This can lead to breaks and cracks in the wax which can make it difficult to pull out as much hair as possible.

What is a bikini line, deep bikini line, and full Brazilian wax? How are these different from each other?
A bikini line is simply the removal of hair from your panty line. If you don’t want to shave off the hair from the area but would like to no hairs peeking out of your undies, then this is the kind of service you should go for.
However, if you want to eliminate the hair about two fingers from your panty line, then you need to go for a deep bikini line. A full Brazilian wax removes the hair from your entire bikini area, leaving your skin bare and soft to the touch. It’s also extra sensitive with the lack of hair to serve as a barrier to sensation.

Should you trim before getting waxed?
While a trim is a good idea, make sure you don’t cut the hair too short. The longer the hair, the better the pull of the waxing strips. That’s one way to ensure you remove unwanted hair down to the roots.

So before the big day comes, make sure you’re ready. Schedule a session in advance. And if you’re looking for waxing services in Jacksonville, you can contact local salons like Adrienne Michelle’s Salon & Spa for more details.
