Bikini Waxing in Ruaka

Bikini line or full bikini?

• Bikini line tidies the edges only, the hair that would show outside a swimsuit or underwear. Fifteen minutes, from KES 600.
• Full bikini takes everything a swimsuit would not cover, on the front. More is removed, but nothing from the back or between. Twenty five minutes, from KES 800.
• Full Brazilian is everything, front and back. From KES 1,000. See the Brazilian page.

You can move up the list whenever you like, and plenty of clients do after one or two visits. There is no pressure from us either way. Tell your therapist how much you want off and she will show you before she starts.

Before your first bikini wax

• Grow it out. Around a quarter of an inch, roughly a grain of rice. No shaving for two weeks.
• Exfoliate the day before, gently. Not the same day.
• Come clean and dry, with no oils, lotions or heavy fragrance on the area.
• Loose clothes. Cotton underwear and something that is not tight will make the walk back to the car much more pleasant.
• Time it. If your period is due, book for a few days either side. Skin is more sensitive during it.

Keeping the results clean

Ingrown hairs are the main thing that puts people off bikini waxing, and they are almost always preventable. From day three after your appointment, exfoliate gently two or three times a week and keep the area moisturised. Skip tight synthetic underwear for the first day or two.

If ingrowns are already a problem, book a vajacial alongside the wax. It clears out what is already trapped rather than just preventing the next lot.
