Who it's for
A Full Leg Wax suits anyone who wants longer-lasting smoothness across the whole leg, with results that outlast a razor and a finish that feels polished.
- Anyone tired of shaving every couple of days and wanting smoother results for longer
- Clients preparing for a holiday, special occasion or simply the warmer months
- Those who find regrowth softer and finer when they wax regularly over time
- People who want both lower and upper legs treated in a single, efficient appointment
- First-time waxers looking for an experienced, gentle and reassuring therapist
Why choose a Full Leg Wax
Waxing removes hair from the root rather than simply cutting it at the surface, which is why legs stay smooth for far longer than they would after shaving. There is no prickly stubble as it grows back, and many clients find that regular waxing leaves regrowth feeling softer and looking finer over time.
Treating the full leg in one appointment is the most efficient way to keep things even and tidy from ankle to thigh, with no awkward line between lower and upper leg. It is a simple, well-loved treatment that makes a real difference to how your skin feels day to day.
At By Shiva, your wax is carried out by an experienced therapist using quality warm strip wax and a calm, unhurried approach. We take care with comfort and hygiene at every step, so you can relax and enjoy the results.
How it works
We apply warm strip wax in the direction of hair growth across small, manageable sections, then press a strip over the top and remove it swiftly against the growth. This lifts the hair from the root and clears each area cleanly, working methodically up from the ankle to the upper thigh.
The warmth of the wax helps it grip the hair while remaining gentle on the skin. Your therapist works section by section, soothing the skin as she goes, so the full leg is treated comfortably and evenly within the appointment.
Your appointment, step by step
From the moment you arrive to the finishing touches, here is what to expect during your Full Leg Wax at By Shiva.
- We welcome you, talk through any sensitivities and confirm that your hair is at a suitable length, ideally around a quarter of an inch of growth.
- Your therapist cleanses the legs and lightly prepares the skin so the wax adheres well and the treatment stays hygienic.
- Warm strip wax is applied in the direction of growth across a small section, a strip is pressed over it, then removed swiftly to lift the hair from the root.
- We work methodically from the ankle upwards, section by section, treating the lower legs, knees and upper legs until the full leg is smooth.
- Any stray hairs are tidied and the skin is soothed with a calming, cooling product to settle any redness.
- We share simple aftercare advice and help you plan your next visit to keep results consistent.
In the treatment room
You will rest comfortably on the treatment couch in a private, relaxed room. As each strip is removed there is a brief, sharp sensation that fades almost immediately, and most clients find it very manageable, especially as they become used to regular waxing.
Your therapist keeps the pace calm and steady, talking you through each area and soothing the skin as she works. A little warmth from the wax and some mild pinkness afterwards are completely normal and settle quickly.
Your results
Legs feel instantly smoother, with results that hold for weeks and tend to improve with regular appointments.
- Straight away: skin is smooth and free of hair from ankle to thigh, with mild pinkness that settles within a few hours.
- First day or two: any temporary redness fades and skin feels soft and clean.
- Two to four weeks: legs stay noticeably smoother for longer than after shaving, with no stubble.
- Around four to six weeks: hair begins to return and it is a good time to rebook.
- Over time: with regular waxing many clients find regrowth feels softer and looks finer.
Aftercare
A little gentle care in the first 24 to 48 hours keeps your skin happy and your results looking their best.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools for 24 hours.
- Skip sunbeds and direct sun exposure on the area for 24 to 48 hours.
- Keep the legs moisturised with a fragrance-free lotion to soothe and hydrate.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing for the first day to reduce friction.
- Avoid heavy exercise, perfumed products and self-tan on the legs for around 24 hours.
- From a few days later, gently exfoliate two to three times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs.
Safety and suitability
Full Leg Waxing is suitable for all clients and no patch test is required. Please let your therapist know if you have sensitive skin, any allergies, or skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or varicose veins, and tell us about any recent treatments or medication that can make skin more sensitive, including retinoids or recent chemical exfoliation.
We do not wax over broken, irritated, sunburnt or recently lasered skin, or areas with active infection. If you are pregnant or have any concerns, simply mention it when booking and we will advise on the best approach for you.
