Half Leg Waxing
Half Leg Waxing begins at $45 at Beauty By Lala in Lodi, NJ, treating either the lower or the upper half of the legs instead of the whole leg.
Half leg waxing treats one half of the leg rather than the whole length: the lower leg from the knee down, or the upper thigh to the knee. Warm wax is laid in strips down the shin and around the knee, following the hair and then stripped back the other way. Lower-leg hair is the coarsest on the leg and comes back over about three to four weeks; the thigh usually goes a little longer. Hair removed from the follicle grows back with a fine, tapered tip, which is why waxed regrowth does not feel like stubble — shaved hair is cut flat, and the flat end is what feels sharp.
Benefits
Knee Down, or Knee Up
Either the lower leg or the upper thigh to the knee — whichever half you actually want dealt with.
Three to Four Weeks on the Shin
Lower-leg hair is the coarsest on the leg and comes back over about three to four weeks. The thigh usually goes a little longer.
Softer Regrowth
Hair removed at the follicle grows back with a fine, tapered tip. Shaved hair is cut flat, and that flat end is what makes stubble feel sharp.
Dead Skin Comes Off With It
The wax lifts the dry surface layer as it goes, which is why shins look less ashy afterwards as well as smoother.
What to Expect
- 01
Preparation
The leg is cleansed to take off lotion, oil and sunscreen — wax will not grip through any of them — and the hair is checked for length.
- 02
Wax Application and Removal
Warm wax is applied in strips with the growth and pulled back against it, in short sections down the shin and around the knee.
- 03
Finishing Touches
Stray hairs are tweezed and a calming lotion goes on. Ghazala will tell you to keep heat and scrubs off the leg for a day or two, and to exfoliate gently after that.
