You shouldn't come out in a rash if it's done properly although some people's skin goes a bit red afterwards. Get it done a few days before you go, which gives it time to calm down. Apply a generous amount of tea tree lotion afterwards. The bikini wax is really a case of personal preference but be prepared to pay more for a brazilian or hollywood. I wax or epilate my arms (they're not particularly hairy but I prefer the look of them this way) but plenty of people don't.
epilate-is that done with a cream, wen u do your arm so do the hairs grow back spikey?? That would be my only worry! :o

No, an epilator is a device that tweezes hair. I don't find the regrowth spiky but then I have been doing mine for a few years now. It's much finer than it was.
if you do come out in a rash which is rare but can happen it go is 24 hrs so thats why salons always say have it done 24hrs before u fly - i have mine done an hour before i go to the airport but i usually fly long haul so its 24hrs by the time i go to the beach!!
i have underams (also do it myself inbetween salon visits), legs and bikini line
only painful bit for me is the top line across bikini line which i no longer bother getting done as it is very sore
ankles can hurt if the beautician is crap as can around the knees basically the bony bits
under arms never hurt when done by a salon but always when i do it myself as i cannot rip it propely and so always end up with a red strip for days and sometimes bleeding!!
i only do it myself sometimes as a) i only have a few hairs under there and b) by the time my leg hairs are long enough for the salon i could do my underarms twice myself!
if u have a good beautician it shouldnt hurt - if it does then the girl is not pulling the strips off properly
my tip would be to take some syndol or other painkillers an hour or two before and never get waxed the week before ur period as thats when your most receptive to pain
