What does full body wax include?
Quick Answer
A full body wax typically includes: full arms, full legs, underarms, chest, stomach/abdomen, full back, and shoulders. Intimate areas (bikini, Brazilian, or Hollywood) are usually optional add-ons. At Mesmerising Beauty, our comprehensive full body waxing service takes 90-120 minutes and provides smooth, hair-free skin across all major body areas for 4-6 weeks.
Comprehensive Answer

Upper Body Areas:
- Chest: Complete hair removal from the entire chest area, from collarbone to upper abdomen, including around the nipple area
- Stomach/Abdomen: Full stomach including any treasure trail or happy trail hair from chest to naval and below
- Full Back: Complete back coverage from neck to lower back, including shoulder blades

What to Expect During Full Body Waxing
Understanding the process helps you prepare mentally and physically for this comprehensive treatment:
Consultation (5-10 minutes): We begin with a thorough consultation reviewing your hair growth pattern, pain tolerance, any skin sensitivities, medications, or contraindications. We'll explain the order of treatment and answer any questions.
Preparation (5-10 minutes): You'll change into disposable undergarments (provided). We cleanse all areas to be waxed with pre-wax solution to remove oils, bacteria, and ensure optimal wax adhesion.
Waxing Process (75-100 minutes): We work systematically through each body area. Our typical approach:
- Start with Less Sensitive Areas (20-25 min): Back and shoulders first, allowing you to acclimate to the sensation
- Large Surface Areas (30-40 min): Full legs and full arms
- Moderate Sensitivity Areas (15-20 min): Chest and stomach
- Most Sensitive Areas Last (10-15 min): Underarms
This progression from least to most sensitive helps manage discomfort—by the time we reach sensitive areas, you're accustomed to the sensation.
Post-Wax Treatment (5-10 minutes): Application of soothing lotion, aloe gel, and post-wax products to calm skin and reduce redness. We review aftercare instructions and schedule your next appointment.
Benefits of Full Body Waxing vs. Individual Areas
Time Efficiency: While 90-120 minutes seems long, it's far more efficient than booking multiple separate appointments for different body areas. You could spend the same total time spread across 4-5 appointments, or complete everything in one comprehensive session.
Cost Savings: Our full body package (£65) represents significant savings compared to booking each area individually:
- Full Legs: £35
- Full Arms: £25
- Chest: £25
- Back: £30
- Underarms: £8
- Individual Total: £123
- Package Savings: £58 (47% discount)
Synchronized Hair Growth: When all areas are waxed simultaneously, hair regrowth becomes synchronized. After a few sessions, all areas will be ready for rewaxing at the same time, maintaining your schedule and maximizing the long-term follicle-weakening benefits.
Consistent Results: One technician performing all areas in one session ensures uniform technique, wax quality, and results across your entire body.
Comprehensive Smoothness: There's psychological value in total body smoothness—no need to worry about any body area when wearing swimwear, during intimate moments, or at the gym.
Who Benefits Most from Full Body Waxing
Competitive Athletes: Swimmers, bodybuilders, cyclists, and other athletes who want complete hair removal for performance or aesthetic reasons find full body waxing ideal.
Special Occasions: Clients preparing for beach vacations, honeymoons, destination weddings, or photoshoots appreciate comprehensive smoothness.
Regular Grooming Clients: Men and women who prefer a completely hair-free aesthetic for personal preference or hygiene find full body waxing the most efficient approach.
Seasonal Smoothness: Some clients do full body waxing during spring/summer months when more skin is exposed, switching to individual areas during fall/winter.
Preparing for Full Body Waxing
Hair Length: Ensure hair is 5-6mm long (about 3 weeks of growth after shaving). Hair that's too short won't be effectively removed; hair that's too long can be more painful.
Exfoliate: Gentle exfoliation 24-48 hours before your appointment removes dead skin cells and prevents ingrown hairs.
Avoid Sun: No tanning (sun or artificial) for 24-48 hours before waxing. Tanned or sunburned skin is more sensitive and prone to damage.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days before your appointment. Well-hydrated skin handles waxing better.
Avoid Caffeine/Alcohol: Both can increase skin sensitivity. Skip them the day of your appointment.
Timing: Schedule during the first half of your menstrual cycle when pain tolerance is highest (for women). Avoid booking during your period when sensitivity peaks.
Loose Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to avoid friction against freshly waxed skin afterward.
Aftercare for Full Body Waxing
With multiple areas waxed, comprehensive aftercare is essential:
First 24-48 Hours:
- Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms
- Skip gym, swimming, and intense exercise
- No deodorant for 12 hours (underarms)
- Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing
- Avoid sun exposure or apply SPF 30+ sunscreen
- No perfumed products on waxed areas
First Week:

- Begin gentle exfoliation after 48 hours (2-3 times weekly)
- Continue avoiding hot water and excessive sun
Ongoing Maintenance:
- Regular exfoliation (2-3 times weekly) to prevent ingrown hairs
- Daily moisturizing for healthy skin

Expert Insight from Yogita
Full body waxing is one of my favorite services because clients leave feeling completely transformed—smooth everywhere, confident, and ready for anything. What surprises many first-timers is how manageable the discomfort is. They expect 2 hours of continuous pain, but reality is much different. We take breaks, work from least to most sensitive areas, and by the time we reach the more sensitive zones like underarms, you're accustomed to the sensation. I've been doing full body waxing for over 25 years, and I always emphasize to clients: this is an investment in comprehensive, synchronized smoothness. Once you experience the convenience of all areas being smooth at once and staying smooth together, you'll never want to go back to piecemeal waxing. My long-term full body clients tell me it's become essential to their grooming routine—they schedule it monthly or every 5 weeks like clockwork, and it simplifies their entire body care regimen. Plus, the cost savings compared to individual areas make it incredibly economical for the value you receive.
Why this matters: Yogita's insight about the psychological transformation of comprehensive smoothness highlights benefits beyond just hair removal. Her reassurance about manageable discomfort and the strategic progression from least to most sensitive areas provides important context for nervous first-timers. The emphasis on long-term value and routine integration demonstrates how full body waxing becomes an efficient lifestyle choice rather than a one-time event.
