Sanibel residents already make the drive across the causeway for errands, dining, and appointments on the mainland. When you are this side of the bridge, our studio on South Tamiami Trail is about 30 minutes from the East End and worth the stop. Professional waxing from $15, with real technique and formulas that work in Florida's climate.
Between Bowman Beach, the J.N. Ding Darling refuge trails, and kayaking off the Mid-Island, Sanibel skin sees a lot. That combination of sun exposure, salt water, and humidity is harder on freshly waxed skin than most people realize. The right post-wax care matters just as much as the wax itself.
We use low-temperature hard wax for sensitive and sun-exposed skin, apply a calming post-wax serum before you leave, and give every first-time client clear guidance on what to avoid for the first 24 hours. Booking an appointment the day before a beach day, not the day of, is one of the simplest things you can do to avoid irritation.
From the Sanibel Lighthouse, take Periwinkle Way to the causeway, then north on US-41 to 19451 S Tamiami Trail, Suite 11. Book online in under a minute and check same-week availability.
Free consultations available for first-time clients. Sensitive skin formulas on request. We confirm pricing before we start, every time.
Check Available Times"I was very nervous to be waxed after having had a not-so-pleasant bikini wax at another local salon, but Jayna changed all that for me. She made it so comfortable. Super professional and diligent with a lovely manner."
Gleyty Izquierdo, Bikini wax client
"I just had my bikini wax done today by Jayna. She was so sweet and gentle from start to finish. She made me feel very comfortable and walked me through the whole process."
Jolene, Bikini wax client
"Jayna is amazing for waxing, facials, brow wax and tint, lash lift. She listens to what I want and asks questions to make sure I am happy with the outcome."

About 30 minutes from the Sanibel East End or Sanibel Lighthouse area. Take Periwinkle Way west toward the Sanibel Causeway, cross to the mainland, then head north on US-41 (Summerlin Road turns into US-41) to 19451 S Tamiami Trail, Suite 11. Free parking right out front. Many Sanibel residents combine the trip with other mainland errands.
Wait at least 24 hours before swimming in the Gulf or walking on the beach in direct sun. Salt water and sand irritate freshly waxed skin and can cause breakouts or prolonged redness. Book your wax at least a day before any planned beach time.
About a quarter inch, roughly the length of a grain of rice. For most people, that is 2 to 3 weeks of growth since shaving. Too short means more discomfort and patchy results.
The first wax is the most intense. After that, follow-up waxes are noticeably easier as the hair grows back finer. Low-temperature wax and small sections keep the experience manageable.
Every 3 to 4 weeks for face. Every 4 to 6 weeks for bikini, legs, and underarm. Seasonal residents often schedule their last wax before heading back north so they are already in a good cycle when they return.
If you currently use accutane: no, not until you have been off it for at least 6 months. If you use retinol: stop applying it to the wax area 5 to 7 days before your appointment.
For 24 hours: no salt water, no sun, no hot showers, no exfoliating, no fragranced products, no tight swimwear on bikini or leg wax areas. On Sanibel, this means planning your beach day for the day after, not the same day.
