Half leg waxing

Silky legs from ankle to knee for weeks — without shaving every day, and without stubble that is back before the weekend.

Which area is treated?

From your ankle up to and including the knee, all the way round. Feet and toes can be included on request.

How the appointment goes

You first lie on your back and then on your front, so both the front and back of the legs are easy to reach. On the shins the work can be done in long strips; around the ankle and knee it becomes more precise.

Around the knee in particular, hair grows in different directions and the skin is looser. There, small sections are worked with the skin held taut. Then stray hairs are tidied and the skin is soothed.

Good to know beforehand

  • Don’t shave for the last two to four weeks; the hair needs to be at least 0.5 cm long.
  • Varicose or visible veins? They are never waxed over; mention them beforehand.
  • Using self-tan? Apply it at least 48 hours after the appointment instead.

Precautions and possible reactions

  • Small red bumps around the follicles are normal and usually disappear within a day.
  • Ingrown hairs can develop on the legs, especially with tight clothing or shaving in between.
  • Taking blood thinners or living with diabetes? Consult your doctor first.

Aftercare

  • Avoid sauna, swimming pools, sunbeds and hot showers for 24 hours.
  • Wear loose trousers or a skirt; tight clothing can rub.
  • From the third day, exfoliate two or three times a week and use a mild cream.

Preparation and recovery

You can carry on with your day straight away, although a skirt or loose trousers are most comfortable that day. After a day your skin is usually calm. Four to six weeks is a comfortable rhythm; we don’t recommend shaving in between.

Unsure about your skin, medication or health? Please consult your GP or dermatologist first. This information does not replace medical advice.

Questions and answers

Can I combine half legs with a bikini line?

Yes, it’s a popular combination. Just mention it in your request.

How long before should I stop shaving?

Two to four weeks, so the hair is at least 0.5 cm long — roughly the length of a grain of rice.
