Men’s waxing in Leyton
Back, chest, arms, legs and face waxing for men, with the same care and discretion as every appointment at our spa on High Road Leyton, East London. Each area on our gentlemen’s menu is booked on its own, or you can have most of your upper body done in one appointment with the Men’s Upper Body Wax.
Back and shoulders
Back Wax (Only) is the back without the shoulders. To include your shoulders, book Back & Shoulders Wax; Shoulder Wax is there if you only want the shoulders.
Chest and abdomen
Chest and abdomen are separate bookings, each in strip or hot wax. Strip is the quicker option. If your skin is sensitive or you’re new to waxing, tell your therapist, who will look at your skin and hair and adapt their approach. Want both? Book the two areas together, or see the Men’s Upper Body Wax below.
Arms and underarms
Hands are part of the full arm and lower half arm bookings, as their names say. Full Arm, Hand & Shoulder Wax adds the shoulders.
Legs
Men’s Upper Body Wax
Shoulders, back, chest, abdomen, full arms, hands and underarms, in hot and strip wax, in one appointment. It’s one of our waxing packages, so the saving is already in the price and no other offer or reward applies. Choose it under Waxing Packages when you book.
Which should I book?
- Back only: Back Wax (Only). Back and shoulders: Back & Shoulders Wax.
- Chest or abdomen: the strip or hot version of each; book both if you’d like the whole front.
- Arms: Full Arm & Hand Wax, or Full Arm, Hand & Shoulder Wax to include the shoulders.
- Most of the upper body (shoulders, back, chest, abdomen, arms, hands and underarms): Men’s Upper Body Wax.
- Several single areas: book them together. Three or more waxing areas get 5% off, five or more 10%. Only one offer applies to a booking, and we apply the one that saves you most. Offers

Before and after
- 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.
- Tell us when you book about any skin condition, medication or allergy that could affect waxing.
- For 24 hours afterwards, skip very hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise, and wear loose, breathable clothing.
Our waxing prep and aftercare guide covers the days before and after in more detail. Our guidance is about four to six weeks between waxes.
Good to know
- Every booking is paid in full when you book, and can be cancelled or moved free of charge with at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellation policy
- Please arrive 10 minutes early so your consultation doesn’t come out of your appointment time.

Visiting us
Artisa Spa is at 359 High Road Leyton, London E10 5NA, a short walk from Leyton Underground station on the Central line, with buses stopping close by. We’re open Monday to Saturday 10:00–22:00 and Sunday 10:00–20:00. When you book online you can ask us to sort out your parking: we arrange a visitor permit for your car for your appointment and email you where to park. Your permit starts at your appointment time, or earlier if you choose, and the council allows 10 minutes after it ends; the permit streets we send you to are about 3 minutes’ walk away. On match days at Brisbane Road, the stadium right behind the spa, parking is very hard anywhere in Leyton: allow at least 20 minutes to find a space.
