What Is Body Waxing?

Body waxing is a hair removal service in which warm wax is spread over an area such as the legs, arms, underarms or back and removed quickly against the direction of growth, pulling hairs out from the root. Because the root is removed, results last longer than shaving, and regrowth often feels softer over time.

What to expect the first time: a quick sting with each strip, some redness afterwards, and smooth skin that lasts noticeably longer than a shave.

1. Body Waxing Prices by Area

The "+" means a starting price. Very dense or long hair, or a larger area, can take longer. Ask for the total first.

Common combinations:

• Full legs and underarms: $70 + $45 = $115+
• Full legs and bikini: $70 + $65 = $135+
• Full legs and Brazilian: $70 + $85 = $155+
• Half legs or full legs? The difference is $10+, so if you wear shorts or swimwear, full legs is usually worth it.

For intimate waxing in detail, see our Brazilian wax guide. For the face, see our facial waxing guide. Every area is listed in the waxing guide and on our pricing page.

2. How to Prepare for a Body Wax

1. Let hair grow. Stop shaving for a couple of weeks so hairs are long enough for wax to grip. Very long hair can be trimmed at the start of the appointment.
2. Exfoliate gently a day or two before, not on the day.
3. Skip lotion and oil on the day. Clean, dry skin helps wax grip the hair rather than the skin.
4. Avoid sunburn. Do not book a wax the day after a long pool session.
5. Wear loose clothing to your appointment for comfort afterwards.
6. Tell us about medications and skincare used on the area.

The American Academy of Dermatology's honest summary in its guide to removing unwanted hair: you can wax any area of the body, including large areas such as the legs, but "Removing the wax can be painful," newly waxed skin "can be red and irritated for a short while," and "If the wax is too hot, it can burn your skin."

Timing around trips and events. Wax a few days before a beach trip, wedding or photo shoot so any redness has settled. If you are also booking a pedicure, the AAD's manicure and pedicure safety tips advise shaving lower legs after a pedicure rather than before; waxing is best planned on a separate day or after the pedicure, so mention both when you book.

3. Who Should Not Wax

The AAD says waxing is not recommended if you are currently:

• Taking isotretinoin, or have taken it within the past six months
• Using an antibiotic
• Applying tretinoin (retinoic acid) to the skin

Also skip or postpone waxing on any area with:

• Sunburn, a rash, cuts, broken skin or active infection
• Varicose veins or raised moles in the area; tell us so they can be avoided
• A recent tan from a tanning bed

The AAD also warns that when wax is removed, skin could tear. That risk is higher on thin or sensitised skin, which is why we ask about medications before every wax.

4. Wax Hygiene in Nevada

The Nevada State Board of Cosmetology sets specific wax rules in NAC 644A.740:

• "Wax pots must be kept covered and the exterior cleaned daily."
• "Disposable spatulas and wooden sticks may be dipped into the wax only once and then must be discarded without using the other end."
• "Any surface touched by a used wax stick must be disinfected immediately after the service."
• If wax is contaminated by double-dipping, debris or skin contact, the pot must be emptied, the wax discarded and the pot disinfected.

Why this matters. The AAD explains that heated wax is not hot enough to kill bacteria and other germs, so double-dipping can carry germs from one person or one area to the next. On large body areas, where many sticks are used, it is worth watching for a fresh stick each time. Our clean salon checklist lists other signs to look for.

5. Aftercare and Avoiding Ingrown Hairs

For the rest of the day:

• No hot tubs, saunas or very hot showers
• No tanning beds or long sun exposure; freshly waxed skin is more sensitive to Las Vegas sun
• No tight clothing over the waxed area
• No heavy exercise if it means friction and sweat on the area
• Avoid scented lotions and deodorant on freshly waxed underarms for a few hours

From the next day:

• Moisturise daily with a fragrance-free product
• Exfoliate gently a few times a week once redness has gone, to help prevent ingrown hairs
• Do not pick at bumps or ingrown hairs

When to rebook. Regrowth timing varies by person and area. Our how long does waxing last guide explains typical intervals, and why regular appointments tend to make each wax quicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should hair be before waxing?

Long enough for the wax to grip, which usually means a couple of weeks without shaving. Very long hair can be trimmed at the start.

Does body waxing hurt?

There is a quick sting as each strip is removed. The American Academy of Dermatology notes wax removal can be painful and skin may be red briefly.

Can I wax if I use retinol on my body?

Tell us first. The AAD says waxing is not recommended for people applying tretinoin or taking isotretinoin now or within the past six months.

Should I wax before or after a pedicure?

Plan waxing on a separate day or after the pedicure. The AAD advises shaving lower legs after a pedicure rather than before, and freshly waxed skin should not go into a foot bath.

How do I prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?

Moisturise daily and exfoliate gently a few times a week once redness has settled. Avoid tight clothing on the area right after waxing.

Can I go in the sun after waxing?

Avoid long sun exposure and tanning for the rest of the day, and use sunscreen afterwards; freshly waxed skin is more sensitive.

Is half legs or full legs better value?

Full legs costs $10+ more than half legs. If you wear shorts or swimwear, most people find full legs worth it.
