Good to know beforehand
- Light or fine arm hair can be waxed perfectly well, as long as it is long enough.
- Avoid sunbathing for 48 hours beforehand; burnt or freshly tanned skin is more sensitive.
- Come without body lotion or oil on your arms.

Half arm waxing
Soft, groomed forearms from wrist to elbow — without the coarse stubble that returns within days of shaving.

Which area is treated?
From your wrist to just above the elbow, front and back. Would you like the backs of the hands and fingers included too? Mention it beforehand.
How the appointment goes
On the forearms hair usually grows in one direction, so the work can be done in longer strips. The skin is cleansed and the wax is applied and removed strip by strip.
Around the wrist and elbow, where the skin is thinner or looser, it is held extra taut. Then stray hairs are tidied and the skin is soothed with a softening product.
Precautions and possible reactions
- Slight redness and small bumps are normal and usually fade within a few hours.
- Sensitive skin may itch a little for a day; not scratching helps prevent irritation.
- Cuts, eczema and sunburnt skin are never waxed.
Aftercare
- Avoid sun, sunbeds, sauna and hot showers for 24 hours.
- Keep the skin supple with a mild, fragrance-free cream.
- After two days, exfoliate gently now and then.
Preparation and recovery
After the appointment you can carry on with your day. Your arms feel soft straight away and usually stay that way for several weeks. A rhythm of four to six weeks is often enough for arms.

What is the difference between half arms and full arms?
Half arms are waxed from wrist to elbow. Full arms continue up to the shoulder.
Will my arm hair grow back coarser once I start?
No. That is a common misconception about shaving. Waxing removes hair from the root and does not make it thicker.
