Hollywood waxing in Leyton
A Hollywood wax removes all of the hair from the bikini area, front to back. With us it’s a 15-minute appointment in hot wax, in a private treatment room at our spa on High Road Leyton, East London. Intimate waxing is handled discreetly and without judgement, whoever you are.
What a Hollywood includes
- All of the hair from the bikini area, front to back.
- Hot wax, which we use for all intimate waxing.
- 15 minutes, £39. Your first appointment may take a little longer while your therapist gets to know your skin and hair growth.
Hollywood Wax is on our ladies’ waxing menu: choose Waxing (Ladies) when you book, or Waxing Packages if you’d like other areas done in the same visit.
Hollywood, Brazilian or bikini?
The closest alternative is a Brazilian: the same time, price and hot wax, but your therapist leaves a neat strip or small shape at the front, in the shape you ask for. You can change your mind from one visit to the next, and a waxing course lets you choose either at each visit. For a fuller comparison, read our Hollywood vs Brazilian guide. If you’d prefer to keep more coverage, see bikini waxing.
Three ways to book
On its own
Hollywood Wax, 15 minutes, £39, under Waxing (Ladies).
With legs or underarms, in one appointment
Our waxing packages combine a Brazilian or Hollywood (your choice, same price) with other areas at a package price, with the saving already included. The intimate area and both underarms are done in hot wax, legs in strip wax.
Upper half leg means thigh to knee, lower half leg knee to ankle, and full leg thigh to ankle. Because the saving is built in, no other offer or reward applies to a package. Having most of your body waxed? The bikini area in our Full Body Wax can be a Hollywood too.
As a course
If you wax regularly, a prepaid course brings the price down, and you choose Brazilian or Hollywood at each visit.
| Sessions | Price | Per visit | Use within |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | £108 | £36 | 4 months |
| 5 | £170 | £34 | 7 months |
| 10 | £320 | £32 | 15 months |
The time to use your course runs from the date you buy it, or from a start date you choose up to 30 days later. Waxing courses are personal: they can’t be shared or transferred. Compare all courses
Before your appointment
- Let the hair grow to about 5mm, roughly the length of a grain of rice. If it’s longer, your therapist can trim it first.
- Skip sun and fresh tan on the area. As general guidance, avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and fresh fake tan for 24–48 hours beforehand, and pause retinol or strong exfoliating products near the area for a few days.
- Tell us when you book about any prescription skincare, skin condition or medication that affects your skin.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing for the journey home.
Our waxing prep and aftercare guide covers the days before and after in more detail.
In the treatment room
- You’ll have a private treatment room and a moment to get comfortable, with a fresh covering provided.
- Your therapist confirms that you’d like a Hollywood and asks about your skin and any sensitivities.
- They work in small sections at a steady pace and check in with you throughout. If it’s your first time, just say so, and they’ll explain each step as they go.
Afterwards
For the first day, avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise, and wear loose, breathable clothing; cotton underwear is kindest. Keep perfumed products and strong actives off the area for 48 hours. If redness or irritation doesn’t settle, contact us, or speak to a pharmacist or your GP.
Our guidance is to leave about four to six weeks between intimate waxes, so the hair has grown back enough to wax well.

Hollywood waxing FAQs
What’s included in a Hollywood wax?
All of the hair from the bikini area is removed, front to back, in hot wax. It’s booked as 15 minutes and costs £39.
How is it different from a Brazilian?
A Brazilian leaves a neat strip or small shape at the front; a Hollywood removes everything. Both are hot wax, 15 minutes and £39, and you can switch between them from one visit to the next.
How long should my hair be?
About 5mm, roughly the length of a grain of rice. If it’s longer, your therapist can trim it first.
How often should I book?
About every four to six weeks.
Can I have a Hollywood wax on my period?
Yes. Some people find their skin more sensitive at that time; if you’d rather avoid it, book for the week after. For intimate waxing, a tampon or menstrual cup is recommended.
Does it hurt?
There’s a brief pinching sensation, especially on your first visit. Most people find it more manageable than they expected, and many find it gets easier with regular waxing.
