Have you been using the scrub before you get waxed? You can treat them with Salicylic acid. You are probably getting them because of the pressure in the area with your clothing. Not sure why it is starting now with a new person but their technique must not be as good.
Thanks @MissAsB! I am not using a scrub before I wax, should I? Maybe I will make it a point to wear less pressured clothing a few days after the wax
It might help to use a scrub before to get rid of any dead skin that might be getting in the way. There must be something that she is doing differently but I can't think what it could be.
I used to get waxed a lot and sometimes ended up with ingrown hairs. Sometimes just waiting an extra few days before your wax could help, just to make sure the hairs were grown out of the skin a bit more. (I would wait around 3 weeks of outgrowth before a wax).
Also,Tend Skin is great as mentioned above... you could also try washing the area when you get home and putting some antibiotic ointment on the area - to help prevent painful ingrown hairs.
I will also chip in with a Tend Skin recommendation. Every single time I've used that stuff consistently, I've not gotten any ingrown hairs. Every time I doubt its effectiveness and stop using it, I get ingrown hairs. Really, you'd think I'd learn :)
Thanks ladies for the recommendations. I will look that stuff up and get me some ordered.
I find that the timing of the follicular cycle matters.
I don't know if the type of wax matters, but I do know that I like that when I get sugared, they don't continually dip in the same pot with a spatuala. I haven't had any ingrown hairs with sugaring, even though it hurt much much worse the first time! (second time was much better :)
I definitely get those. Not a ton, but every time I get waxed I end up with a few a couple days later. I find it very satisfying to tweeze them out, though. I can't recall ever not getting at least a couple, so I assumed it was pretty typical.
It may be a different kind of wax, or the person's technique but I second the Scrub before you get waxed. I get ingrown hairs whenever I don't- and be careful of tendskin if you are prone to acne. I used it the first few times I got waxed and had horrible breakouts down there.

I am not really sure if this belongs in wellness or what so I just put it here. Sorry if its TMI. I usually get Brazilian waxes and I seriously LOVE them. I hate the feeling of any type of hair down there, it makes me feel dirty. Well recently, since I have changed spa's I have been getting ingrown hairs. I hate them, I mean I pay good money to have it all nice and clean down there and now there are these damn ingrown hairs popping up. Do you ladies have any advice on how to not get these? Does anyone else have this type of problem or am I some strange loner thats all outta whack? Any advice I would love. I have tried using a scrub like the lady at the spa suggested but it doesnt really seem to be helping, its like my body is angry and trying to hold on to my hair.
