A refined half leg wax that leaves the lower legs smooth, even and comfortable. Skin is prepared, hair is removed cleanly in the direction of growth, and the area is soothed for a polished finish that lasts longer than shaving.

What's Included

Everything you need for smooth lower legs, delivered with care.

  • Brief consultation to understand your skin, hair growth and preferences.
  • Cleanse and prepare the lower legs for effective waxing.
  • Professional warm wax selected to suit your hair type for efficient removal.
  • Precise application in sections, following hair growth for a clean, even result.
  • Soothing post-wax care to calm the skin and minimise redness.
  • Optional tidy of knees and toes if required.
  • Personalised aftercare guidance and maintenance plan.

Who It's For

Ideal if you prefer a longer lasting alternative to shaving and want consistently smooth lower legs with minimal upkeep. Suits busy routines, holiday prep and event-ready grooming, as well as regular maintenance.

Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and mature skin. If you have specific concerns, your therapist will tailor the approach for comfort and a neat finish.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on hair growth and whether it is your first visit. A short consultation is included to ensure comfort and clarity on your preferences.

For best results, let hair grow to around 0.5 to 1 cm. Avoid shaving for at least two weeks before your appointment. On the day, arrive with clean, dry skin and avoid heavy lotions or self-tan. Wearing loose clothing helps reduce friction afterwards.

If you like to stay consistently smooth, rebook every 4 to 6 weeks to match your hair growth cycle.

Aftercare & Maintenance

For 24 hours avoid hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbathing, sunbeds, swimming and strenuous exercise. Keep the area clean and cool, avoid perfumed products and wear loose clothing to reduce irritation.

From 48 to 72 hours, start gentle exfoliation two to three times per week to help prevent ingrown hairs. Moisturise daily with a fragrance-free lotion to keep skin soft and supple. If you notice persistent redness or bumps, avoid picking and use a cool compress or a soothing product. Maintain regular appointments every 4 to 6 weeks to encourage finer regrowth and longer lasting smoothness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a half leg wax include?
Typically the lower legs from just below the knee to the ankle, front and back. A light tidy of the knees and toes can be added on request. Share any preferences during your consultation.
How long will the results last?
Most clients enjoy smooth results for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on natural growth. Repeat waxing can make hair feel finer over time. Regular bookings keep results consistent.
Does a half leg wax hurt?
You may feel brief stings as the wax is removed, which settle quickly. We work in small sections and support the skin to minimise discomfort. A soothing finish helps calm any redness.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Let hair grow to around 0.5 to 1 cm. Gently exfoliate 24 hours before and avoid heavy lotions, oils or self-tan on the day. Wear loose clothing to reduce friction after your treatment.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin or certain medications?
Leg waxing suits most skin types, including sensitive. Avoid waxing over sunburn, broken skin or while taking oral isotretinoin. If unsure about medications or active skincare, speak with your therapist or GP.
