If you're a licensed esthetician or salon owner, chances are you’re already juggling 10 things — client schedules, product orders, booking apps… and now, Instagram?

But visibility matters. Especially online. That’s why we’ve created this list of easy, high-converting Instagram post ideas — tailored for waxing professionals who want to:
-
Show off their expertise
-
Attract more ideal clients
-
Build authority without burnout
Promote results-driven products like Black Coral Wax
✅ 5 Best Instagram Post Ideas for Estheticians to Grow Their Waxing Business
Each of these post types is designed to increase engagement, build trust, and highlight the professional edge you offer.
1️⃣ Behind-the-Scenes Waxing Video (POV Style)
Prop your phone on your wax cart and film a quick “POV: You’re my 10AM underarm wax” clip. Show prep, the wax application, or the pull.
It’s satisfying to watch, totally authentic, and gives potential clients a feel for your space and process.
You can try using viral wax - Plumeria - it grips hair — not skin — for a smooth, irritation-free experience that looks great on camera.
2️⃣ Before & After Waxing Results with Expert Tips
Post side-by-side waxing results with a quick pro tip.
Example:
"This glow? Three weeks of growth, gentle exfoliation, and the right wax = perfection."
Use captions with searchable phrases like “underarm wax before and after in Atlanta” or “best waxing results” to boost local discoverability.
3️⃣ Answer Common Waxing FAQs in Instagram Stories
Use Stories to answer questions like:
-
“Can I wax after tanning?”
-
“Does waxing hurt more during your period?”
-
“How long should hair be before waxing?”
Face-to-camera, text overlays, or simple Q&A slides all work — what matters is showing up with clarity and confidence.
4️⃣ Wax Cart or Treatment Room Tour
Reel or Story showing your setup, products, and tools. Think: your wax cart, your lighting, your vibe.
Estheticians love esthetician content. Clients love seeing where they’ll be treated.
Subtly shout out your go-to wax and why it saves time: no strips, no cracking, no corrective layers.
5️⃣ Share Client Testimonials with Visuals
Screenshot a glowing DM or review, and overlay it on a photo of your wax setup or product shelf.
Caption idea:
"This wax changed my skin. I’m obsessed."
It’s soft-selling at its best — social proof + visual appeal. Tag the wax you used and encourage bookings with a call-to-action like “DM to book” or “Appointments open this week!”
🎯 You Don’t Need to Be Viral — Just Visible
You don’t need fancy transitions or viral audio to stand out online. You just need to show your results, speak your truth, and let your wax room do the talking.
Start with one idea this week — and stay consistent.
