When to Schedule Your Waxing Appointments in San Diego
In San Diego, waxing schedules often revolve around seasonal activities, neighborhood trends, and personal routines tied to the city's coastal lifestyle. Summer months like June through August bring a spike in Brazilian and bikini waxing appointments, especially ahead of beach days at Pacific Beach or events like Bay Fest. Most locals book 2–3 days before travel or poolside weekends, while those prepping for weddings or maternity shoots often wax 4–6 days prior for optimal skin recovery. In spring, college students from UCSD and USD start scheduling underarm and leg waxing in April for pre-graduation photos or trips. While winter seems quiet, many San Diego clients maintain monthly waxing to reduce regrowth and avoid restarting from scratch come March.
