Leg Waxing
Say goodbye to daily shaving and hello to irresistibly smooth skin with leg waxing at Essential Beauty.
Leg Waxing at Essential Beauty
Our professional waxing treatments leave your legs soft, hair-free, and perfectly smooth—no stubble, no stress. Enjoy longer-lasting results and the confidence of silky skin that stays that way for weeks.
For the best results, we recommend scheduling your waxing appointments every 3–6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and personal preference. Trust us—once you’ve experienced the smooth, long-lasting finish of waxing, you won’t want to go back!
And remember step away from the razor. Shaving between waxing appointments can disrupt your hair growth pattern and undo all the progress you’ve made. Consistency is key—by staying committed to waxing, you’ll enjoy finer, softer regrowth and longer-lasting smoothness over time.
Our Waxing Services Include
Essential Beauty's Specially Formulated Wax
At Essential Beauty, we use professional-grade Sensitive Hot Wax and Strip Wax—crafted for comfort, effectiveness, and silky-smooth results. It’s waxing, your way.
Our Sensitive Hot Wax (Hard Wax) is formulated for efficient hair removal on delicate areas such as the face, bikini, eyebrows and more. This wax applies in a thin film and is left to harden before being removed. Our Hot Wax grips to hairs, not skin; reducing redness and breakouts after waxing.
Our Sensitive Hot Wax is vegan and cruelty-free.
Strip wax is a fast and effective method of waxing, using disposable strips. Our strip wax contains minerals to help soothe the skin and is best for removing short, stubborn hairs.

Your Leg Waxing Journey
How to prepare for waxing
1-2 days before:
- Use Prep Exfoliating Body Scrub & Mask to lightly exfoliate the area 24-48 hours prior to your appointment to remove dead skin.
- Use Nourish Body Moisturiser with Hair Growth Minimiser to moisturise your skin on the days before, but do not apply moisturiser on the day of your waxing as it will interfere with your results.
On the day:
- Hairs should be about ½ a centimetre long (about the length of a grain of rice). Do not shave before your appointment. You may trim the area carefully, but not too short.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing after waxing to avoid irritation.
Waxing aftercare basics
Your skin will be slightly pink and spotty post waxing and may feel a little irritated. Don’t worry! This will go away overnight and the end results are worth it.
Immediately after:
- Use Soothe Cooling & Hydrating Serum to help soothe, relieve and replenish your skin.
- Avoid hot showers (cool to warm temperatures are ok!), baths, saunas, swimming, strenuous exercise or lying in the sun for at least 24 hours after your wax.
1-2 days after:
- Continue your regular moisturising routine with Nourish, but avoid any exfoliation.
- We recommend using IngroStopper after all waxing to soften the hair follicle and help prevent ingrown hairs.
1 week after:
With consistent waxing, you will remain hair free for up to two weeks. Hairs will return softer and lighter over time. We recommend sticking with a regular waxing schedule based on your hair growth and lifestyle.

Questions
Have questions? We have the answers on all things waxing, piercing, eyebrows & beauty!
Waxing is a safe and efficient way to remove all the hairs you can see, and the fine hairs you can’t see! Waxing is suitable for all hair colours, thicknesses and skin types, making it suitable for everyone. Our Beauty Therapists are highly trained and experienced and will always ensure your salon experience is an enjoyable and positive one. Waxing also offers smooth skin with long lasting results. Your hair will grow back finer, which means that there is no irritation, itchiness or prickliness like you experience after shaving.
Yes! At Essential Beauty, our piercing prices include high-polish implant grade surgical steel jewellery from our standard design range. Our surgical steel jewellery is hypoallergenic and great for initial piercings. Jewellery upgrades are available and include custom flat back labret designs, rings and more. Our jewellery upgrade options include titanium, nickel-free cobalt chrome, Bioplast, 18ct gold and 24ct gold PVD, rose gold PVD or black PVD
We strictly pierce with our autoclave sterilised jewellery.
Yes! Our trained Beauty Therapists specialise in waxing for both men and women. Male hair can be thicker and denser in some areas, making them more prone to ingrown hairs. We highly recommend the use of Ingrostopper after all male waxing, to soften the follicle and gently exfoliate, reducing the risk of ingrown hairs.

Face waxing leaves your skin silky and smooth for 2-3 weeks! By removing thick, stubborn growth and all the fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz), it makes the perfect blank canvas for makeup. Waxing also removes all hairs from the root, causing the hair follicles to weaken over time, which eventually leads to less growth! Facial waxing also assists in the absorption of skincare, as no product is left on the surface surrounding the hairs.
Some popular face waxing styles include the eyebrows, upper lip (moustache wax), chin, sideburns, forehead and more!
We strictly pierce with autoclave sterilised jewellery; this is why we cannot pierce you with jewellery you already own and bring in. It is also impossible for us to determine the quality of the materials used in the jewellery, and therefore, it may not be safe for us to use your own jewellery for initial piercings.
We have a great range of jewellery upgrade options; we are confident you will find the perfect piece of jewellery for you! Learn more about our upgrade options here.
