Question Bikini waxes, names, prices, description? - 09-10-08, 10:09 PM


What bikini waxes do you offer?
What do you call them?
What excatly does each one include?
How much do you charge?

Sorry to ask so many questions only I offer;
Bikini line - tidy up on sides -£7
Brazilian - strip left - £10
Playboy - pencil line strip left - £12
American - all hair removed - £15

With the last 3 I will take off all hair everywhere underneth and round bottom area if wanted too, and still charge the same.

I get some ladies book in for a brazilian but go very low down on the top part but not quite an american so I charge them for a brazilian but feel it should be more, but where I dont have a name for this wax I dont know what to call it or what to charge?!!

So what I am really interested in is what other salons call these areas of waxes and what they include. I have kept my prices the same for the last 6 years and now feel I should change them, and maybe update the range I offer.

So please you help is needed!!!!

just an observation , your prices are VERY cheap!

How long does it take you to do 'an american'


I have a box standard bikini, a high bikini, a brazilian, and a full monty (all off).

And my prices are FROM.....bla bla not written in stone.

So a Standard bikini is FROM £8......

A BRAZILLIAN is FROM.....£25 if they come every 4/5 weeks its nice and easy (so its £25 sometimes even less) f they come every time they on holiday like every 6 months...its more hair/more work/ more money

I offer 2 types of waxes.

Basic bikini (anything in the bikini area as far in as the crease at the labia) $25.00 and up (depending on how much we remove)

Brazillian (everything off, back and front with the option to leave a 'landing strip') $60.00 and up

Wow, there are so many different names for a bikini wax! I offer 3 different types, x wax which is just the sides. double x which is everything underneath including bottom with just a strip left at the front and the triple x which is everything gone! But i love all the other names!!

i think your undercutting yourself on the prices!!!!

My frontal brazilian is the same as your full brazilian(incl.the bum)i charge £30 for a full brazilian. make sure that your not missunderstanding what the other salons are offering for that £15. many, if not all, i imagine, will be just offering the front for that type of money.

I do think it depends where you live. I have researched salons near to me, and salons further a field and it seems that where i live treatments are wuite cheap as opposed from the southern part of the country!! xx
