Specialty Salon Waxing in San Diego: For Our Fringed Friends

Enlarge Photo

        In San Diego, aka the little-polka-dot-bikini capital of California, specialty salon waxing has become the sure-cure fix when nature mercilessly calls. Yes, nature does call in many more inopportune ways than one. Ladies and gents, whether your oops-factor resides between your eyebrows or below the belt, when unwanted hair shows its prickly little face, it is time to quit the hem-and-haw and visit the local pros.

            Many multifaceted salons and spas ever-so-slyly incorporate waxing into their extensive list of beauty tricks. Maybe shaggy San Diegans feel more comfortable taking care of business under the (sticky) radar— I’ll have a Lomi Lomi massage, spa pedicure and … and a quick upper lip waxing. Listen up, fringed friends: salon waxing is absolutely not something one must atone for! The smooth and straight-up menus at Beehive Waxing Salon, SD Wax Queen, Ziki’s Brazilian Wax and Salon 2141 prove their adamant support of this viscous revolution.

Beehive Waxing Salon

The Beehive Waxing Salon is making a big buzz in the local waxing scene. Sorry Honey, this isn’t your cue to bring back the closeted beehive-do. If your face, arms or feminine unmentionables are starting to resemble a beauty school-dropout—or Marge Simpson—remember: visit the hive, don’t be the hive.

Recently voted best place to get waxed by 944 Magazine, the Beehive is a relaxing, comfortable and frankly adorable salon that specializes in taming, defusing and striping away those intruding tufts. For a little rest and repose, try the habit-forming No Scream Cream. For men and women, the Hive waxes ligaments, backs and faces and specializes in the classic bikini and exotic Brazilian. FYI, bare-all-bees, the Hive gives away a free thong with your Brazilian wax!

SD Wax Queen

The SD Wax Queen pays much ado homage to the one responsible for it all: the Queen Bee. This local palace boasts charismatic amenities fit for even the most regal San Diegans. However, though the Queen’s exorbitant décor can be an aesthetic perk, when it comes to your under-arms a little extra flair isn’t always a plus. Leave these unbecoming burdens to your royal neighbors. 

            Because the Queen understands first-timers’ urge to demur, she provides all prospective patients with a private pre-wax consultation. The Wax Queen’s staff is very focused and attentive to customizing each treatment to the needs of the client. Aspiring softies can choose any audacious wax combo—but are urged to indulge in the regular or Brazilian bikini. 

Ziki’s Brazilian Wax

Ziki’s Brazilian Wax is a home-based exotic haven. After moving to the States and suffering through an unbearable wanna-be-waxing, Brazilian-native Ziki decided to take matters into her own hands—talk about a painful-yet-prosperous “Aha” moment! Keeping a tight hold on her roots, Ziki’s authentic studio offers only homeland-perfected waxing techniques combined with the best Brazilian products.

            Ziki’s dedicated fans prove the sleek South American sweetheart has truly found her niche in San Diego. Choose your own ethnic mix from the lineup: all facial treatments, legs, arms, back and of course the ultimate Brazilian bikini. To spice things up, try Ziki’s specialty “playboy wax” with a sexy landing strip. Sorry Hugh, all bikini waxes are for ladies only. 

Salon 2141

            For those opting to try a little tenderness, Salon 2141 zaps stubborn hairs with the almighty strength of … thread? Threading is what’s new (though refreshingly, not hot!) in salon-style hair removal. This Middle Eastern treatment is by far the lease invasive method. The thread creates a trap where hairs are caught and massaged from the root. No need to say farewell to your skin—this soothing approach dismisses unwelcome hair, but keeps your coveted covering intact. Salon 2141 promotes fearless (and tearless) luxury.
