1/2 Leg & Brazilian
A 1/2 Leg & Brazilian wax removes hair from the lower legs and intimate area in one appointment, leaving skin smooth and neat with longer-lasting results than shaving. It is a practical choice if you want tidy definition around the bikini line and a clean feel through regrowth.

Areas covered in the 1/2 Leg & Brazilian wax
This combined wax focuses on two high-maintenance areas for a smoother finish.
- Half leg waxing: hair removal from knee to ankle, covering shins and calves.
- Brazilian waxing: removal of hair from the bikini area and most of the intimate area, with a small strip or triangle left if you prefer.
- Comfort-focused technique: hair is removed in small sections to keep the service efficient and help minimise repeated passes.
- Detail work: any remaining fine hairs can be tidied with tweezers for a cleaner end result.
- Skin-soothing finish: the area is cleaned and calmed after waxing to reduce surface stickiness and immediate redness.
Who usually books a 1/2 Leg & Brazilian wax
- You want smooth lower legs without daily shaving and the prickly regrowth that can come with it.
- You prefer a defined Brazilian shape rather than full removal.
- You are heading into holidays, events, or sports, where low-maintenance hair removal is helpful.
- You find bikini-line shaving causes itching, stubble, or visible shadowing and want a cleaner look.
How the 45-minute 1/2 Leg & Brazilian appointment is typically carried out
The service normally starts with a quick check of the areas to be waxed and the finish you want for the Brazilian. Wax is then applied and removed in sections, with adjustments made for hair growth direction and sensitivity in the intimate area. The appointment ends with a tidy-up and a calming product to help settle the skin.
Getting your skin ready for half leg and Brazilian waxing
- Aim for around 5 to 10 mm of hair growth so the wax can grip effectively.
- Gently exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before (not on the day) to help reduce the chance of ingrowns.
- Avoid waxing over sunburn, broken skin, or active irritation.
- If you use retinoids or strong exfoliating acids, pause on the area beforehand as they can increase sensitivity.
Aftercare for smoother legs and a cleaner Brazilian finish
For the first 24 hours, avoid heat and friction such as hot baths, saunas, intense workouts, tight clothing, and heavy perfumed products on the waxed skin. After 48 hours, light exfoliation and regular moisturising can help keep regrowth softer and reduce ingrown hairs. Many people rebook every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth and the level of smoothness they like.
