In Bakersfield, timing your wax often follows the rhythm of the city’s warm seasons, school-year cycles, and local events. During spring, many people book Brazilian or bikini waxing a week or two before vacations to Lake Isabella or the Kern River, while college students from CSUB and Bakersfield College tend to rush in around August for back-to-school grooming.

Summer brings the highest demand, especially before pool days at local recreation spots or the busy Fourth of July weekend.

Clients usually stick to a consistent four-week schedule for legs, underarms, and Brazilian maintenance.

In the fall, locals often prep for the Kern County Fair in late September, choosing to wax a few days before the event to reduce irritation. Winter in Bakersfield may be slower, but many residents still keep regular appointments to avoid the discomfort that comes from starting over after months of shaving, especially before holiday gatherings.
