Standard Full Body Waxing Areas
When you book a full body waxing appointment at Mesmerising Beauty, here's exactly what's included in our comprehensive service:
Upper Body Areas:
- Chest: Complete hair removal from the entire chest area, from collarbone to upper abdomen
- Stomach/Abdomen: The full stomach area, including any hair running from chest to navel and below
- Full Back: Complete back coverage from neck to lower back, including shoulder blades
- Shoulders: Any hair across the shoulder area, blending smoothly with the upper back
- Underarms: Both underarms completely smooth
Lower Body Areas:
- Full Arms: From shoulder to wrist, including upper arms, elbows, and forearms (both arms)
- Full Legs: From upper thigh to ankles, including knees, both front and back of legs (both legs)
Not Typically Included (Available as Add-Ons):
- Face/facial hair (chin, upper lip, sideburns, forehead, cheeks)
- Intimate areas (bikini line, Brazilian, Hollywood)
- Hands and fingers
- Feet and toes
- Buttocks
The reasoning behind this structure is that full body waxing focuses on the major body areas where most hair growth occurs, providing comprehensive coverage while letting clients customise intimate and facial areas based on their own preferences and comfort levels. Intimate waxing is always carried out professionally, with disposable undergarments provided and proper draping throughout — your comfort and dignity come first.
Customisation Options
At Mesmerising Beauty, we understand that "full body" can mean different things to different clients. We offer several ways to shape the service around you (see the live price list for current prices on every option):

We can leave out areas where you have minimal hair growth or include additional areas based on your needs. During your consultation, we look at your hair distribution and recommend the most suitable combination.
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 covering your hair growth pattern, comfort preferences, any skin sensitivities or medications, and anything else we should know. We'll explain the order of treatment and answer any questions. If you have a skin condition or a medical question about whether waxing suits you, we'll always suggest checking with your pharmacist or GP first.
Preparation (5-10 minutes): You'll change into disposable undergarments (provided), and you're professionally draped throughout so only the area being worked on is uncovered. We cleanse all areas to be waxed with a pre-wax solution to remove oils and make sure the wax adheres properly.
Waxing Process (75-100 minutes): We work systematically through each body area. Our typical approach:
- Start with the Easier Areas (20-25 min): Back and shoulders first, letting you get used to the sensation
- Large Surface Areas (30-40 min): Full legs and full arms
- Moderate Areas (15-20 min): Chest and stomach
- The Areas Most Clients Find Most Sensitive, Last (10-15 min): Underarms
This progression means that by the time we reach the areas most people find trickier, you're already accustomed to the sensation — clients consistently tell us it makes the whole appointment easier.
Post-Wax Treatment (5-10 minutes): We apply a soothing post-wax lotion to calm the skin, run through your aftercare instructions, and can book your next appointment before you leave.
Benefits of Full Body Waxing vs. Individual Areas
Time Efficiency: While 90-120 minutes sounds 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 separate visits, or complete everything in one comprehensive session.
Simpler Booking and Budgeting: A single full body appointment means one booking, one visit, and one entry in your diary instead of juggling several. For how the full body service compares in price with booking areas individually, check the current price list — prices are always up to date there.
One Routine, One Schedule: When all areas are waxed on the same day, regrowth tends to appear on a broadly similar schedule, so everything is usually ready for rewaxing at the same time. That keeps your routine simple: one recurring appointment rather than a patchwork of different dates. (Exact timing always varies by person and by body area.)
Consistent Results: One therapist carrying out all areas in one session means uniform technique and wax quality across your whole body.
Comprehensive Smoothness: There's real value in head-to-toe smoothness — no need to think about any body area when wearing swimwear, at the gym, or on holiday.
Who Books Full Body Waxing
Athletes: Swimmers, bodybuilders, cyclists, and other athletes who prefer complete hair removal for their sport or its aesthetic often choose full body waxing.
Special Occasions: Clients preparing for beach holidays, honeymoons, destination weddings, or photoshoots appreciate comprehensive smoothness in a single appointment.
Regular Grooming Clients: Men and women who simply prefer a completely hair-free feel find full body waxing the most efficient approach.
Seasonal Smoothness: Some clients book full body waxing during the spring/summer months when more skin is on show, switching to individual areas through autumn and winter.
Preparing for Full Body Waxing
Hair Length: Make sure hair is around 5-6mm long (about 3 weeks of growth after shaving). Hair that's too short won't be gripped effectively by the wax; hair that's too long can feel more uncomfortable.
Exfoliate: Gentle exfoliation 24-48 hours before your appointment lifts away dead skin cells so the wax can adhere directly to the hair.
Avoid Sun: No tanning (sun or sunbeds) for 24-48 hours before waxing. We won't wax over sunburned skin, and freshly tanned skin tends to feel much more sensitive.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days before your appointment and keep skin moisturised — well-cared-for skin makes for an easier appointment.
Consider Skipping Caffeine and Alcohol: Many clients tell us they feel more comfortable when they've avoided both on the day of their appointment.
Pick Your Timing: You know your own body best — some clients prefer to book for a time of the month when they know they generally feel less sensitive.
Loose Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment so nothing rubs against freshly waxed skin on the way home.
Aftercare for Full Body Waxing
With multiple areas waxed in one visit, sensible aftercare makes all the difference:
First 24-48 Hours:
- Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, and steam rooms
- Skip the gym, swimming, and intense exercise
- No deodorant for 12 hours (underarms)
- Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing
- Avoid sun exposure on freshly waxed skin
- No perfumed products on waxed areas
First Week:
- Gentle cleansing with mild, fragrance-free products
- Daily moisturising with unscented lotion
- Resume gentle exfoliation after 48 hours (2-3 times weekly)
- Continue avoiding very hot water and strong sun
Ongoing Maintenance:
- Regular gentle exfoliation (2-3 times weekly) helps keep skin smooth between visits
- Daily moisturising keeps skin comfortable
- Book your next appointment for when regrowth typically shows for you — many clients settle into a 4-5 week rhythm, but your own timing may differ
- Avoid shaving between sessions, as it leaves hair too short for the wax to grip at your next visit
