inclusive care for every body
We’re not a regular waxing studio, we’re a cool waxing studio.
Welcome to Beehive, Sacramento’s queer-, woman-owned radically inclusive hair removal studio and community collective. At Beehive, we’re dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for every body, regardless of gender, size, ability, or anatomy, to receive trauma-informed and affirming hair removal and skin services.
Katie started Beehive in 2018 as an independent waxer focusing on gender-inclusive waxing. In 2020, we grew into our current space and hired a team of waxers to support Beehive’s mission. Now, 8 years later, Beehive is home to an incredible team of 5 — 3 phenomenal waxers and 2 managers who keep everything running smoothly (pun intended).
At Beehive, we specialize in hybrid waxing, utilizing hard and soft wax based on your skin and hair; trimming (yes, really); and an incredible array of skin treatments, including gender-affirming scar treatments.
full body waxing

at beehive, we offer full-body waxing — meaning nothing is off limits (except your scalp, please don't wax your scalp). each waxing service is a custom combination of hard and soft waxes based on your skin and hairs' needs.

Hive Pride
Sliding Scale Day
NorCal Resist Food Drive
Maryhouse Supply Fundraiser
Supply Disbursement for Unhoused Neighbors
Fundraising + Snack-Gathering for Ms. B & The Axolotls 5th Grade Class in Oak Park
In 2025 we introduced sliding scale days in an attempt to create more accessibility around our services.
We recognize that the services offered at Beehive are a luxury, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be accessible to everyone who needs a little self-care. For that reason, once a month a select menu of our most popular service are available to book at a 50% off their regular rate.
There are no restrictions or requirements to qualify for these discounted days — if you feel that you would benefit from a discounted service, we’d love to see you at our next sliding scale day!

quick FAQ
what is genderless waxing?
genderless waxing is a service designed to be inclusive of all bodies, regardless of gender identity or anatomy. it focuses on providing a comfortable and safe waxing experience for everyone, with treatments tailored to the individual person, rather than based on traditional gender norms. this approach ensures that everyone feels respected, seen, and accommodated, no matter their gender or body type.
how do I prepare for a wax?
For best results, make sure your hair is about ¼ inch long (roughly the size of a grain of rice). Stop exfoliating at least a day before your appointment, avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine prior to your wax, and stay hydrated!
should I be scared?
Absolutely not! We understand waxing can be intimidating, but we prioritize your comfort. Our team will guide you through the process, making it as smooth (and as painless) as possible.
what are some ways Beehive upholds hygiene standards?
We follow strict hygienic and state board protocols, including the use of disposable gloves, sanitized tools, and no double-dipping during wax treatments to ensure a safe and clean environment.
I'm a shaver / I just shaved — how long do I need to wait before getting waxed?
If you have shaved, it’s recommended to let your hair grow at least 2 weeks before your waxing appointment or until it is about ¼ inch long (roughly the size of a grain of rice).
should I trim before my visit?
please don't! if the hair is too long to provide the service, your waxer will trim for you.
can I get waxed if I'm pregnant?
yes! depending on your range of motion, we may ask you to get into slightly different but more accommodating positions to ensure you leave with a quality wax. unless your doctor advises against it, most people continue waxing well up into the final few weeks before delivery.
how often should I get waxed?
if your goal is to maintain hairless skin for as long as possible, we generally recommend keeping to the suggested timeframe given to you by your waxer. since everyone’s growth cycles are different, there is no one correct time frame but generally people get waxed every 4-6 weeks.
what is the difference between skin brightening and skin bleaching?
at Beehive, our Bryght Skin Brightening treatments focus on achieving an even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. unlike traditional skin bleaching, which can lighten skin beyond its natural tone, Bryght treatments work by gently inhibiting the enzyme responsible for excess melanin production. the result? a brighter, more balanced complexion that enhances your skin’s natural beauty.
