☀️ The Ultimate Summer Waxing Guide
What to Wax, When to Wax & How to Stay Smooth All Season Long
Summer is coming in hot — and whether you’re headed to the beach, dancing at rooftop brunches, or just trying to survive Midwest humidity in shorts, you might be thinking, “Should I get waxed?”
Here’s the thing: waxing in summer isn’t about being “perfect” or “hairless.” It’s about feeling confident, cool, and comfy in your own skin — without razor bumps or 5 o’clock shadow ruining the vibe.
This is your go-to Summer Waxing Guide: what to wax, when to wax, and how to stay silky-smooth (without the stress).
💁♀️ What Should You Wax in Summer?
Here are the top areas my clients love to wax when the layers come off:
🌸 Bikini / Brazilian Wax
Let’s be real — swimsuits + humidity + shaving = a mess.
Brazilian or bikini waxing keeps things smooth with less irritation, less regrowth, and more confidence at the pool or on vacation.
Best for: Honeymoons, lake days, hot girl walks in booty shorts
🦵 Legs (Half or Full)
No more daily shaving. No more prickly stubble 12 hours later. Just buttery smooth legs that stay soft for weeks.
Best for: Sundresses, high slits, festival fits, or just because you want to!
🦋 Underarms
This one is underrated. Waxed underarms = no dark shadow, less odor (yes, really), and no razor bumps during tank-top season.
Best for: Strapless tops, sleeveless dresses, and arms-up dancing at outdoor concerts
💁♀️ Face (Brows, Lip, Chin, Sideburns)
Summer sweat + makeup can be tricky. Face waxing keeps things clean, defined, and fresh. Plus, your highlighter hits different on smooth skin.
Best for: Vacation selfies, beach days, bridal parties
⏰ When Should You Wax?
Timing matters — especially for events or getaways! Here's a quick breakdown:
EventBook Your WaxVacation / Trip2–3 days before departurePool Party2–4 days beforeWedding / Photoshoot3–5 days beforeRegular UpkeepEvery 4–6 weeks
If it’s your first time getting a Brazilian or leg wax, I always recommend doing a “trial wax” at least 4–6 weeks before the big day, just to see how your skin reacts. Then book your “real one” a few days before the event.
🌿 How to Stay Smooth All Summer
Once you’ve waxed, you want to keep that glow going — here’s how:
✅ Exfoliate (Gently)
Use a sugar scrub, mitt, or exfoliating serum 2–3 times a week to keep dead skin cells out of the way and help prevent ingrowns.
✅ Moisturize Daily
Hydrated skin = happy skin. Use a lightweight, fragrance-free lotion to keep your waxed areas smooth and soft.
🚫 Skip These Post-Wax
No hot tubs, pools, or saunas for 24–48 hours
Avoid tight clothing or heavy sweating the first day
Don’t shave between waxes (it disrupts your growth cycle!)
