I've thought about waxing in that region too but have decided against it. I think it's a lot easier and safer if you just do it at a salon. It's a little pricey (the cheapest one I found is $50), but it lasts for a month.

You have to be extremely careful when you're waxing yourself in that region. It is possible to burn yourself if you're using hot wax. The people at good salons are trained and know what they're doing so the experience is pretty quic,k and the wax they use gets it all off with just one pull.

If you're adamant about waxing yourself, I'd at least go to a salon for the first few months . It will give you time for you hair to grow thinner and would probably make it easier for you to wax yourself. Also, it would give you the opportunity to ask the "stylist" what direction she is pulling for each part, what type of wax she uses, tips, etc. The person who waxes you can also advise you on what to do afterward to make sure you don't get in-grown hairs.

Hope that helps.
