Body Waxing Near Me - Find a Waxing Salon & Book Online

Body waxing covers everything from a quick underarm clean-up to a full-body treatment from shoulders to toes. Here's what you'll find at top-rated body waxing salons on Booksy and how to choose the right service for your needs. What is body waxing? Body waxing is a hair removal method that applies warm wax to the skin and removes it along with the trapped hairs — either using a fabric strip (soft wax) or by allowing the wax to harden and removing it directly (hard wax). Both methods remove hair at the root, leaving the skin smooth for 3 to 6 weeks until new growth appears. Professional body waxing delivers a significantly longer-lasting and smoother result than shaving, with hair growing back finer and softer with repeated treatments. Waxing also lightly exfoliates the skin surface as the wax is removed, leaving the skin feeling softer and smoother immediately after the treatment. Full body waxing A full body wax covers the complete body — legs, arms, underarms, back, chest, stomach, and bikini or Brazilian area — in a single extended appointment. Full body waxing typically takes 2 to 3 hours and is most popular in the weeks before vacations, events, or summer. Many salons on Booksy offer full body waxing as a single bookable service at a combined rate significantly cheaper than booking each area individually. Always confirm exactly what areas are included in the full body service before booking. Leg waxing One of the most widely booked body waxing services — available as a half leg (knee to ankle) or full leg (hip to ankle). Leg waxing removes hair from the root for smooth results lasting 3 to 5 weeks. Many clients combine leg waxing with bikini or underarm waxing in a single appointment for a complete below-the-waist smooth finish before summer or a beach trip. Back and chest waxing (men's) Back and chest waxing are among the most popular men's body waxing services — removing unwanted hair from the back, shoulders, and chest for a clean, smooth result that lasts 4 to 6 weeks. Hard wax is most commonly used for these areas as it is more effective on coarse, dense hair and gentler on the skin when large areas need to be treated. Many barbershops and salons on Booksy now specifically offer men's body waxing alongside grooming services. Underarm waxing Underarm waxing removes hair from the root — delivering results that last 3 to 4 weeks versus 1 to 3 days with shaving. Regular underarm waxing also reduces the appearance of regrowth and stubble between sessions. A quick service — typically 10 to 15 minutes — and one of the most frequently booked waxing add-ons when combined with leg or bikini waxing. Arm waxing Arm waxing is available as a half arm (wrist to elbow) or full arm (wrist to shoulder) service. Popular for clients who prefer smooth arms in summer or who find natural arm hair uncomfortable. Full arm waxing takes 20 to 30 minutes and results last 3 to 5 weeks. Arm hair tends to be finer than leg hair, making arm waxing one of the less uncomfortable body waxing services. Hard wax vs soft wax Soft wax is applied in a thin layer and removed with a fabric strip — best for large areas like legs and arms. Hard wax is applied more thickly and removed without a strip as it hardens around the hair — gentler on sensitive skin and better for coarse or dense hair in smaller areas like bikini, underarms, and back. Many professional salons use hard wax for sensitive areas and soft wax for larger surfaces. Your esthetician will choose the appropriate wax for each area during your appointment.

Frequently asked questions about body waxing What is body waxing? Body waxing is a professional hair removal method that uses warm wax to remove unwanted hair at the root from any area of the body. Results last 3 to 6 weeks — significantly longer than shaving. With repeated waxing, hair grows back finer and sparser over time. Waxing also lightly exfoliates the skin surface, leaving it noticeably smoother immediately after treatment. How much does body waxing cost? Underarm waxing typically costs $15 to $30. Half leg is $30 to $55, full leg $50 to $90. Back or chest waxing runs $35 to $80. A full body wax costs $150 to $200 and takes 2 to 3 hours. Exact pricing is listed on every Booksy profile before you book. How long does body waxing last? Body waxing typically lasts 3 to 6 weeks depending on the area and your hair growth rate. Areas with coarser, faster-growing hair (like underarms and bikini) tend to regrow sooner than areas with finer hair (like arms). With consistent regular waxing, hair grows back finer and the regrowth period gradually extends over time. How long does hair need to be for body waxing? Hair should be at least 1/4 inch (about 6mm) long — roughly 2 to 4 weeks of growth after shaving — for the wax to grip effectively. Shorter hair may not be removed cleanly, leading to patchiness and the need to return sooner. Avoid shaving in the 2 to 3 weeks before a waxing appointment. If you're not sure whether your hair is long enough, your esthetician can assess it at the appointment. How do I prepare for body waxing? Stop shaving 2 to 3 weeks before your appointment and ensure hair is at least 1/4 inch long. Exfoliate the skin 24 to 48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Avoid applying moisturizer, lotion, or oils to the skin on the day of your appointment — these create a barrier that prevents the wax from adhering properly. Stay hydrated, wear loose, comfortable clothing, and avoid alcohol the day before your appointment. How do I reduce ingrown hairs after body waxing? Exfoliate the waxed areas 2 to 3 times a week starting 48 hours after your appointment — this keeps the skin surface clear and allows hair to grow through without curling back into the skin. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or an ingrown hair serum with salicylic acid. Wear loose, breathable clothing for 24 to 48 hours after waxing to avoid friction on freshly waxed skin. Avoid hot baths, saunas, and direct sun on waxed areas for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Is there a body waxing salon open now near me?
