Back-to-School Beauty: Quick Waxing Tips for College Students

Heading off to college in Buffalo or the surrounding Western New York area? Whether you’re settling into UB, Canisius, Fredonia, or SUNY Brockport, back-to-school is a season full of new beginnings, busy class schedules, and fresh routines. With so much on your plate, your self-care rituals—like waxing—might take a back seat. That’s why Buffalo Beauty Brows is here to share expert waxing tips uniquely designed for local college students who want to look and feel confident from the dorm to the quad.


Why Waxing is the Perfect Choice for College Students


Unlike shaving, which can be time-consuming and leave behind irritation or razor burn, waxing offers Buffalo’s on-the-go students an efficient, long-lasting hair removal option. Thanks to smooth results that can last three to six weeks and minimal upkeep between appointments, waxing is a favorite for busy college lifestyles.


Benefits of waxing for college students include:

- Smooth, hair-free skin that lasts through study sessions and social events

- Less frequent maintenance than shaving or depilatory creams

- No razor nicks or ingrown hairs when performed professionally

- Improved skin texture due to gentle exfoliation


At Buffalo Beauty Brows, we serve students from Buffalo, Rochester, Fredonia, and throughout WNY, ensuring you’re always ready for whatever campus life brings!


Pre-Wax Prep: Tips for Buffalo’s Busy Students


To get the most out of your waxing session, preparation is key—especially if you’re new to the service or trying to fit self-care into a busy class schedule. Here’s how to show up for your appointment ready:


- Let hair grow: Make sure your hair is at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for best results.

- Exfoliate gently: Lightly exfoliate the area a day before your appointment to remove dead skin cells.

- Avoid lotions and oils: Clean, product-free skin helps wax adhere better.

- Skip tanning: Steer clear of tanning (sun or spray) 24-48 hours before waxing to avoid extra skin sensitivity.


Buffalo Beauty Brows offers comfortable, welcoming waxing services right in the heart of the city and in easily accessible locations across Western New York.


On-Campus Waxing Tips: Maintenance Between Appointments


Want to keep those results going strong between professional waxing visits? Here’s how college students across Buffalo, Rochester, and Erie PA can maintain smooth, healthy skin:


- Moisturize daily: Hydrated skin helps prevent ingrown hairs and dryness.

- Exfoliate once weekly: Use a gentle scrub to keep skin clear and avoid clogged follicles.

- Avoid tight clothing: Especially after waxing sensitive areas, to reduce irritation.

- Don’t tweeze strays: Let your hair grow out evenly for your next waxing appointment, which is ideal for effective hair removal.


Common Waxing Areas for College Students


Whether you’re prepping for back-to-school events, interviews, or just want easy grooming, here are the most popular waxing services among Western New York students:


- Eyebrow waxing for a polished look

- Lip and face waxing for smooth results under masks or makeup

- Underarm waxing for confidence in all seasons

- Arm and leg waxing, particularly before formal occasions or sports

- Bikini and Brazilian waxing for swim season or personal preference


Our skilled team at Buffalo Beauty Brows ensures sanitary, gentle waxing with personalized aftercare instructions for every client.
