Forearm waxing removes unwanted hair from the lower arm (wrist to elbow) for a smooth, neat finish that lasts longer than shaving. It is a practical choice if you want your arms to feel softer, look more even, and stay low-maintenance between appointments.
More information
What’s included in a Forearm waxing appointment
Your appointment focuses on clean, even hair removal across the lower arm, with comfort and skin condition in mind.
- Quick check of your skin, hair growth, and any sensitivity or recent products used
- Skin cleanse and light prep to help the wax grip hair rather than skin
- Wax removal from wrist to elbow, working in sections for an even result
- Tidying around the wrist and elbow so the finish looks neat, not patchy
- Removal of any remaining stray hairs for a smoother feel
- Calming product applied to help reduce immediate redness
- Clear aftercare guidance to help prevent bumps and ingrowns
Forearm waxing is ideal when you want a clean lower-arm finish
- Hair that shows in short sleeves, gym wear, uniforms, or photos
- Faster regrowth after shaving, especially if stubble feels rough within a day or two
- A smoother feel for sport, massage, or applying self-tan more evenly
- A neater look around the wrist if you wear watches, bracelets, or jewellery
How the Forearm wax is carried out in around 30 minutes
The wax is applied and removed in small sections so the therapist can follow the direction of hair growth and reduce breakage. The area is then checked and any remaining hairs are removed. The service finishes with a soothing product and simple steps to keep the skin calm.
Aftercare that helps keep forearms smooth for longer
Avoid hot baths, saunas, heavy exercise, and fragranced products on the area for 24 hours. Keep the skin moisturised and start gentle exfoliation after a couple of days to help reduce ingrown hairs. If you have a holiday or event, waxing 24 to 48 hours beforehand helps any redness settle.
