Wax Me Too Featured in Prevention Magazine: 9 Tips for the Perfect Bikini Wax

When Prevention magazine featured professional waxing tips, the advice aligned perfectly with what we've been telling our clients at Wax Me Too for years. Great waxing results come down to preparation, technique, and aftercare — and all three matter enormously.

Pre-Wax Preparation: The Foundation of Great Results

The most important thing you can do before a bikini wax is let your hair grow. Prevention recommends at least ¼ inch of growth — and we agree completely. Hair that's too short won't grip the wax properly, leading to incomplete results and a more uncomfortable experience.

Beyond hair length, gentle exfoliation 24–48 hours before your appointment helps remove dead skin cells that can interfere with the wax's grip. And staying well-hydrated — both by drinking water and moisturizing your skin — makes for a smoother, more comfortable wax.

Choosing the Right Salon

Not all waxing salons are equal. Prevention's advice: look for a salon that uses fresh applicators for every client (no double-dipping), has sinks in the treatment rooms, and employs experienced estheticians who specialize in waxing. That's exactly what you'll find at every Wax Me Too location.

Post-Wax Care

After your wax, avoid heat, sun exposure, and tight clothing for 24 hours. Begin gentle exfoliation 48 hours after your appointment and continue 2–3 times per week to prevent ingrown hairs. Moisturize daily to keep skin hydrated and smooth.
