Bikini Sugaring in Columbia City, IN
A bikini sugaring removes hair outside the panty line — about 3 inches of perimeter, leaving the inner triangle alone. The lighter sister of a Brazilian for clients who want clean lines without the full pull.
Right here in Columbia City
Columbia City is the home location — Makaela's studio sits inside House of Style at 106 N Walnut St, the brick building near the Whitley County courthouse. Most clients are walk-in-distance or a short drive from anywhere inside the city. For Columbia City clients, parking is in the gravel lot in back, and the entrance is the back-left door with a ramp up to the second floor.
What to expect
Bikini sugaring is a popular first-step option for clients who aren't ready to commit to a Brazilian but want a cleaner look at the bikini line. It's also a permanent rotation for clients who prefer keeping the natural inner triangle.
At Groovy Complexions, the bikini service is $30 for about 15 minutes of work. The French Bikini option ($50, 30 min) extends the line further — 3 inches outside the panty line plus everything down to the labia, leaving only a stripe on top. Both use the same paste and technique as a Brazilian; only the area changes.
For first-time bikini clients, the appointment includes a brief intake conversation to confirm exactly what "off" and "on" mean to you — different clients want different lines, and Makaela maps it before starting so there's no guessing. Clients can switch between bikini, French bikini, and full Brazilian session-to-session as preferences evolve.
After-care is the same as a full Brazilian: 24 hours without swimming, hot tubs, rigorous exercise, or sex. Cotton underwear for the day. Optional ingrown-hair serum 2-3 times per week between appointments.
Common questions
What's the difference between a bikini and a Brazilian?
A bikini removes hair outside the panty line (a perimeter clean-up). A Brazilian removes everything in the entire bikini area, including labia and butt strip.
How long does bikini sugaring last?
4-5 weeks for most clients. Slightly longer than a Brazilian because there's less surface area and less follicle-cycle variation.
Can I switch between bikini and Brazilian appointment-to-appointment?
Yes. Many clients start with a bikini for a few sessions, then move to French bikini or full Brazilian. Makaela adjusts each time based on what you ask for that day.
Is a bikini sugaring less painful than a Brazilian?
Yes, meaningfully. Less sensitive surface area, fewer pulls. Most clients describe it as "noticeable but quick."
