Bikini waxing in Leyton
A bikini wax tidies the hair around your bikini line and keeps the rest of your coverage. We offer two: a bikini line and an extended bikini line, both in hot wax, in a private treatment room at our spa on High Road Leyton, East London.
Bikini line or extended?
Bikini Line Wax tidies the hair that would show outside a typical bikini or underwear line.
Extended Bikini Line Wax goes slightly further in than a standard bikini line, for a cleaner, wider line, while keeping more coverage than a Brazilian or Hollywood.
Not sure which to choose? Tell your therapist what you’d like at the start of your appointment and they’ll suggest the right option. You can change your mind from one visit to the next. Both are on our ladies’ waxing menu: choose Waxing (Ladies) when you book.
When to choose a Brazilian or Hollywood instead
If you’d like most or all of the hair removed rather than a tidier line, a bikini wax isn’t the right booking:
- Brazilian Wax (15 minutes, £39) removes most of the hair, usually leaving a neat strip or small shape at the front.
- Hollywood Wax (15 minutes, £39) removes all of the hair from the bikini area, front to back.
See Hollywood waxing or our Hollywood vs Brazilian guide.
Bikini with legs or underarms
Our waxing packages combine your bikini wax with other areas in one appointment at a package price, with the saving already included. The bikini 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. Choose them under Waxing Packages when you book.
Bikini line
Extended bikini
Because the saving is built in, no other offer or reward applies to a package. Our Full Body Wax also includes the bikini area, with bikini line or extended as options.
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.
- As general guidance, avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and fresh fake tan on the area for 24–48 hours beforehand, and tell us when you book about any skin condition or medication that affects your skin.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Afterwards, skip hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise for 24 hours, and keep perfumed products off the area for 48 hours.
Our waxing prep and aftercare guide has the full detail. We recommend 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
- Booking your bikini wax with other single areas instead of a package? 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
Bikini Line Wax is offered by Alexia and Shani, among others in our team.

Bikini waxing FAQs
What’s the difference between a bikini line and an extended bikini?
A bikini line tidies the hair that would show outside a typical bikini or underwear line. An extended bikini goes slightly further in, for a cleaner, wider line, while keeping more coverage than a Brazilian or Hollywood.
Which option should I select when booking?
For a bikini wax on its own, choose Bikini Line Wax or Extended Bikini Line Wax under Waxing (Ladies). To add legs or underarms in the same appointment, choose the matching package under Waxing Packages.
Is it hot wax or strip wax?
Hot wax, as for all our intimate waxing. In the packages, legs are done in strip wax and underarms in hot wax.
Which buses stop near Artisa Spa?
The 58, 69, 97 and 158 stop at Buckingham Road on High Road Leyton, about a minute’s walk from the spa. The 69 and 97 come from Walthamstow, and the 69, 97 and 158 from Stratford.
Do I need to book a bikini wax, or can I walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome, but a therapist who provides waxing may not be free. Booking online is the surest way to get the time you want.

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. Questions? Call 020 8558 8268.
