Facial waxing (lip, chin, full face) and body waxing (arms, legs, back) are two different service categories that solve different needs — one is about clean, defined facial features, and the other is about broad hair removal on larger body areas. Here's a full breakdown of each, so you can figure out exactly what to book.
Facial Waxing Options
Upper Lip — one of the most commonly requested single-area waxes. Quick — usually under 5 minutes — and addresses fine or dark hair that's hard to manage with other methods.
Chin — targets stray or coarse hairs along the jawline and chin, often booked alongside upper lip waxing.
Full Face — covers the whole face, including cheeks, upper lip, and chin, for an overall smoother, more even skin texture. This is more involved and typically takes 15–20 minutes.
Note: for the eyebrow area specifically, threading is generally recommended over waxing for more precision — see our threading vs. waxing comparison guide.
Body Waxing Options
Arms — removes hair from the full arm or just forearms, depending on preference. A relatively quick, low-discomfort area; see our hand and arm waxing page for the full menu.
Legs — can be done as full leg or half leg (below the knee). One of the most requested body waxing services, especially seasonally — details on our leg waxing page.
Back — larger, harder-to-reach area — typically booked by men, though not exclusively. Takes longer due to surface area, generally 20–30 minutes. Booking several areas at once? Our full body waxing service bundles them into one appointment.
Underarms — a smaller but more sensitive area — see our underarm waxing service page for area-specific pricing and details.

How to Choose Which Areas to Start With
If you're new to waxing, start with a single, lower-commitment area — upper lip or half-leg are common first choices. This lets you gauge your comfort level and see how your skin reacts before committing to larger areas like full face or full body.
Aftercare for Facial vs. Body Skin
Facial skin is thinner and more reactive than body skin, so aftercare differs slightly.
Facial areas:
• Avoid makeup for at least 2–4 hours after waxing
• Skip retinol, exfoliating acids, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours
• Use a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer if skin feels tight
Body areas:
• Avoid tight clothing and hot showers for the first 24 hours
• Begin gentle exfoliation after 48 hours to help prevent ingrown hairs
• Moisturize regularly between appointments to keep skin smooth
