Start at the baseline industry standard of 15-20% of the cost of your bikini wax. Feel free to tip at the lower end of this if your service was not up to your standards.

Though some salons suggest $10 to $20. Recommended tip: Depending on the price of the service, tip somewhere between $5 to $20. Bikini wax: Even if the service isn't as much, salons generally see higher tips in this category.

Long hair can also cover up other hairs during a wax, which requires repeated waxes of the same area.

Some people may notice a significant reduction in hair growth after six months to a year of regular waxing, while others may take longer. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to seeing the long-term benefits of waxing.
