What not to do while waxing your legs?



  • Choose your product. There are waxes or sugar solutions available. 
  • Read instructions thoroughly... twice. 
  • If product needs to be heated, do so for suggested time. 
  • Test the temperature so that you don't burn yourself. 
  • Check legs to be sure that they are dry. This is very important. 
  • For first time waxers, apply a thin layer of wax/sugar solution in a small area of the leg following hair growth direction. 
  • Press muslin strip onto leg. 
  • At the bottom of the strip (closest to your foot), turn a small area back against the strip. It should be resting flat against the strip about to be removed. 
  • Lift the end as instructed and pull back toward you. Do not pull up. Pulling back is the correct procedure. 
  • Bite down on your lip GENTLY. The pain will ease up in a second or two. ;) 
  • Repeat procedure if you have missed a few hairs. 
  • Continue the leg until you are hair free!
