    A bikini wax tidies the bikini line, while fuller versions remove more. For beginners, Rica wax in a private room makes the first experience comfortable and quick.

    Quick Answer

    A bikini wax removes hair along and just inside the bikini line. Beginners should choose a basic bikini wax with gentle Rica wax, keep hair about 1 cm long and follow simple aftercare. At Stardom it is done privately by female therapists.

    Key Takeaways

    • Basic bikini wax tidies the line; Brazilian removes everything.
    • Beginners should start with a basic bikini wax.
    • Rica wax keeps the first session comfortable.
    • Keep hair ~1 cm long for clean removal.
    • Results last about 3–4 weeks.

    Types of Bikini Wax

    A basic bikini wax cleans up the hair visible outside underwear. A full bikini removes more from the sides and top. A Brazilian removes all hair front to back. Beginners usually start with a basic or full bikini and progress from there.

    How to Prepare

    Let hair grow to about 1 cm, exfoliate gently a day before, wear loose clothing, and avoid caffeine on the day. Booking away from your period reduces sensitivity.

    What Happens in the Room

    A trained female therapist cleanses the area, applies gentle Rica wax in sections, removes it quickly and finishes with a soothing gel. The basic service takes 15–20 minutes.

    Benefits

    • Lasts 3–4 weeks
