Half leg waxing in Glendale
Lower legs, knees, feet and toes in thirty minutes. Legs are the slowest-regrowing area on the body, which makes them the most satisfying to wax: four to six weeks of smooth from one visit.

Lower leg or upper leg: choose your half
Our half leg runs from the top of the knee down to the toes, with the knee, ankles, feet and toes included. If thigh hair is what shows in shorts or skirts, book the upper half instead, from the top of the thigh to just above the knee, at the same range. Inner thigh and bikini are separate.
We use ITALWAX strip wax on the shin and calf for speed, spread thinly with the growth and removed against it in long, clean sections. Knees and ankles, where the skin is thin and bony, get film wax. The skin is held taut throughout, which is the difference between a comfortable leg wax and a bruise.
Compared with shaving, which lasts one to three days, waxing gives four to six weeks, no nicks, no razor burn, and a regrowth that feels finer every cycle. Keep up a light exfoliation routine and ingrowns become rare.

How to prepare
Tick these off in the days before. We save your progress on this device.
Please reschedule if
- You have sunburn, open cuts, a rash or broken skin on the area.
- You have taken isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last six months.
- You have used a prescription retinoid or strong acid on the area in the last week.
- You have had laser, a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or dermaplaning on the area within two weeks.
- You have bulging varicose veins in the area; we wax around them, not over them.
- You have an eczema or psoriasis flare on the legs, or take blood thinners or have diabetes without physician clearance.
Aftercare for the first 48 hours and beyond
For the first 24 to 48 hours, treat the skin like it has just been exfoliated, because it has. Skip hot showers and baths, saunas, pools and the ocean, heavy workouts, sun and tanning, and tight clothing against the area. A cool compress and an oil-free, fragrance-free moisturizer are all it needs. Mild pinkness and small bumps are normal and settle within hours.
From day three onward, exfoliate gently two to three times a week and moisturize daily. This is the single best way to prevent ingrown hairs, because dry, rough skin traps the fine new hair as it returns. If you are prone to ingrowns, an ingrown-hair serum with salicylic or glycolic acid used a few times a week makes a real difference.
Do not shave between appointments. Shaving resets the growth cycle and makes your next wax patchy. Rebook before you leave so the rhythm holds, and if redness lasts more than two days or you see swelling or discharge, see a healthcare provider.

Myths, retired
Half legs questions
Are knees included?
Yes, knees, ankles, feet and toes are all part of the lower half.
Why strip wax on legs instead of film wax?
Strip wax is faster on large, less sensitive areas. We reserve film wax for knees, ankles and anywhere delicate. Both are ITALWAX.
Can I shave between appointments?
Please do not. It resets the growth cycle and makes the next wax uneven.
Can waxing bruise?
Rarely, and usually only when skin is not held taut or on fragile skin or blood thinners. We hold the skin firmly for every lift.
When can I apply self-tanner?
Wait 24 to 48 hours after waxing. The skin will take tan more evenly than it ever did after shaving.
Can you wax over spider veins?
Small spider veins are usually fine. Bulging varicose veins are avoided.
