Leg Waxing in Ruaka

Half leg or full leg

• Half leg, knee to ankle. Thirty minutes. KES 1,000 soft wax, KES 1,500 hard wax.
• Full leg, thigh to ankle. Fifty minutes. KES 1,800 soft wax, KES 2,500 hard wax.

Soft wax is the usual choice for legs. It clears large areas quickly and legs are generally less sensitive than the bikini area. If your skin is reactive or you get bumps on your thighs, hard wax is worth the difference.

Adding a bikini or Brazilian at the same appointment is easy: tell us when you book so we allow the time.

Stopping ingrown hairs on your legs

Legs, especially the shins and the back of the thigh, are prone to ingrowns if you do nothing between appointments. The fix is simple and takes about thirty seconds in the shower.

• Start exfoliating three days after your wax, then two or three times a week.
• Use a mitt or a gentle scrub, not something harsh.
• Moisturise afterwards. Dry skin traps hair.
• Do not shave in between. It undoes the cycle you are building.

If you already have a crop of ingrowns, book a full body scrub a week before your wax and come in with clear skin.
