Waxing Arms, Legs and Bikini

Read the waxing tips and aftercare before starting your waxing treatments.

Finding the wax treatment that is just right for you may take some trial and error. Review your options below. From honey to cold wax to roll on and microwavable wax, there is one that was made for you.

Under Arms

  • Be sure that all deodorant or anti-antiperspirant is completely removed.
  • Divide the armpit into areas: top and bottom.
  • Apply wax to the bottom half in a downward direction.
  • Apply the removal strip. Press and rub with pressure several times.
  • Pull and hold the downward skin below the strip, while you quickly remove the strip in the opposition direction of the hair growth with the same hand as armpit you are waxing.
  • Apply wax to the top half of the armpit in a upward direction.
  • Stretch your arm up and back to pull the skin as tight as possible.
  • Quickly remove the strip in the opposition direction of the hair growth.

Legs

  • Apply a light coating of baby power to elevate the hair especially if it is quite short. Use your hand and brush the power in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
  • A full leg wax should be done in 5 parts: lower front, lower back, upper front, upper back and knee.  Wax and remove in each area before moving to the next.
  • Apply an even coat wax in the direction of the hair growth.
  • Apply the removal strip. Press and rub with pressure several times.
  • Quickly remove the strip in the opposition direction of the hair growth.
  • To wax your knees, bend your leg so you have a tight surface on to work on.
  • Don't forget the tops of the feet and toes.

Bikini

Ideally, you should leave this sensitive and hard to reach areas to a professional.

  • Recline with your legs slightly open, turned to the side and knee bend.
  • Use a mirror to check for the direction of hair growth.
  • The wax should be from leg crease outward.
  • Work in sections as necessary starting from the area farthest from the cease line. You may also need to remove hairs from inside the leg. Again, check the growth pattern as this area is quite inconsistent.
  • Apply an even coat wax in the direction of the hair growth.
  • Apply the removal strip. Press and rub with pressure several times.
  • Hold the skin taunt by pressing and pulling below the strip.
  • Quickly remove the strip in the opposition direction of the hair growth.
