As a professional, learning how to wax legs can be very lucrative! Leg waxing is one of the most sought-after services since the legs have a large surface area and are very visible compared to other body parts.
Waxing legs also provides benefits like skin exfoliation and longer lasting results than shaving, two things that you should mention to clients to score repeat business!

Best Wax for Leg Waxing Services
Choosing a good wax is crucial when waxing legs! At Nova, we have three wax options that each have their benefits!
Our original formula is our hard wax, which can be used anywhere on the body. Our hard wax is great for legs because it’s super gentle on the skin and doesn’t require any strips!
Our soft wax is great for professionals who are used to the traditional soft waxing method but looking to elevate their services. It contains clean skin-soothing ingredients and is perfect for any part of the leg.
Lastly, our roll on wax is an amazing option for leg waxing because it’s specifically designed for large-area waxing. It’s simple to use, covers a large area in a small amount of time, and requires very minimal cleanup in between clients.
Best Wax Warmer for Leg Waxing Services
To make the most out of a high-quality wax, it’s recommended to get a wax warmer that complements it.
When waxing big areas like legs, which require a lot of time, a good wax warmer is important because it needs to keep the wax at an optimal temperature.
Another thing to consider when waxing legs is how much wax you use during a service. Since you use more wax in leg waxes than in services like eyebrow waxes or lip waxes, the wax warmer capacity is also important.
Our standard wax warmer is ideal for legs because it has a 1 lb. capacity. It also features an adjustable temperature dial, a removable tin, an easy-to-use on-off switch, and fun stickers to customize your studio space.
If you’re interested in getting into speed waxing or want to wax legs super fast and efficiently to fit more services into your day, our professional large hard wax warmer might be the better option.
Best Supplies for Leg Waxing Services
As expected and as you probably know as a professional, the larger a service area the more supplies you use!
The legs are no exception to this but luckily at Nova Pro, we make more cost less with our wholesale supplies.
With leg waxing, it’s recommended that you buy the largest spatulas to cover more of the leg more easily when applying. Our 6" wooden spatulas come in a pack of 50 or 100, so you’ll never run out mid-wax!
Another thing that will make your life easier when doing leg waxing is our silicone insert, designed for our 5.5 lb. wax warmer. Our food-grade silicone insert makes cleaning up after services so much easier and hygienic.
The time you’d normally spend cleaning your wax warmer could instead be spent on additional clients!
Professional Leg Waxing Tips
Prioritizing client comfort is important during leg waxing and learning how to properly situate your client is key! Always remember that everyone has a different level of flexibility and leg waxing requires some bending.
Talking with your clients throughout the leg waxing service to make sure they’re comfortable is a great way to establish a good relationship and secure repeat business.
Another opportunity to secure business is through upselling by offering things like take-home products. Our post wax bundle helps clients lock in their results and keep their legs shining and supple.
It’s easy to sell to clients after services like leg waxes since the legs are such a large part of the body. Remind them of the benefits, like added moisture and exfoliation, and show them you’re invested in their results.
Final Thoughts
Leg waxing services provide a great opportunity to increase business. Choosing the right wax, wax warmer, and supplies will help you get through services quickly and efficiently!
The right wax will make the waxing process more comfortable. Remember that the legs are a huge body area that requires a lot of wax! If you choose hard or soft wax, a larger capacity tin can make a tedious service go by much quicker for both you and your client.
