A full-body wax usually includes:
- Legs (upper and lower)
- Arms
- Underarms
- Bikini area (basic or Brazilian, depending on your choice)

Confirm the exact areas with your studio beforehand to ensure clarity.
How to plan for a full-body wax
Timing
A full-body wax can take 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on hair density and areas covered. Schedule enough time and avoid rushing.
Comfort and breaks
Communicate with your therapist if you need breaks during the session. Staying hydrated and relaxed can help ease discomfort.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and ensure you’re clean before the session. Avoid lotions or oils on the skin.
