At Magical Waxing®, we understand that our Atlanta clients lead busy lives. Whether you are visiting our Tucker flagship or our locations in Snellville, Norcross, Dunwoody, Hugh Howell, or Marietta, you need to know exactly how much time to block out in your calendar. According to our licensed master estheticians at Magical Waxing, most individual services take less than 30 minutes, while comprehensive full-body packages are designed for efficiency without sacrificing comfort.
How Long Does a Brazilian Wax Take?
A Brazilian wax typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. First-time clients should expect the full 30-minute window, while regular maintenance appointments usually take closer to 15 or 20 minutes as the hair becomes finer and easier to remove.
During your $45 Brazilian wax at Magical Waxing®, our specialists use one of our 12 varieties of premium Italian hard wax. Hard wax is essential for timing because it adheres only to the hair, not the skin, allowing our estheticians to work quickly while minimizing discomfort. For those opting for a Bikini Wax ($35) or an Extended Bikini ($40), the timeframe is even shorter, usually wrapping up in 10 to 15 minutes.
Full Body Wax Duration
A full body wax generally takes between 2 to 3 hours total. This duration varies based on the specific areas included, such as the legs, arms, underarms, and Brazilian area, as well as the client's hair density.
We recommend allotting 120 to 180 minutes for a comprehensive session. Our Men's Full Body service starts at $150 and may lean toward the three-hour mark depending on hair thickness. By booking multiple services together, our team can streamline the process, often working on one area while wax sets on another to ensure you are in and out of our Atlanta studios as quickly as possible.
How Long Does a Back Wax Take?
A full back wax takes approximately 15 to 25 minutes to perform. This service covers the area from the tops of the shoulders down to the waistline.
For men seeking a Back Wax ($55), the timeframe depends on whether it is a maintenance appointment or the first visit of the season. How long does lower back wax take in minutes? Specifically, a lower back wax takes only 10 to 15 minutes. Our estheticians use large-area application techniques with high-quality Italian wax to ensure the surface is cleared efficiently. If you are adding a Chest Wax ($50), expect another 15 to 20 minutes added to your session.
Half Leg Wax Time
A half leg wax takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes when using soft wax. This treatment typically covers from the ankle to just above the knee or from the knee to the upper thigh.
Approximately how long will a half leg treatment take with soft wax? According to our licensed master estheticians at Magical Waxing, 25 minutes is the average duration for a $45 half-leg service. Soft wax is the preferred method for large areas like legs because it can be applied in thin layers and removed quickly with strips. If you opt for a Full Leg Wax ($75), the service time increases to roughly 45 to 60 minutes.
Eyebrow Waxing & Threading Time
Eyebrow threading takes 5 to 10 minutes, while eyebrow waxing takes 10 to 15 minutes. Threading is often faster for those with simple maintenance needs, whereas waxing includes skin preparation and post-wax soothing.
Our Eyebrow Threading ($15) is one of our most popular quick-service options across all 8 Atlanta locations. If you are also interested in Full Face Threading ($45), the entire process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. "Precision is key, but so is efficiency," says Sarah Chen, Lead Esthetician at Magical Waxing. "We find that most of our regular clients can get their brows threaded and be back in their cars in under 15 minutes, including the check-out process."
Underarm Waxing Duration
An underarm wax takes only 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish. This is one of the quickest services we offer, making it a perfect "lunch break" treatment.
At a price point of $20, the underarm wax is highly efficient. Because the hair in this area grows in multiple directions, our estheticians use specialized hard wax to grip every follicle in just two or three applications. This ensures a smooth result without the need for repetitive passes that could irritate the skin.
Male Brazilian (Manzilian) Time
A male Brazilian wax, or Manzilian, typically takes 20 to 35 minutes to complete. The hair in this area is generally coarser than female hair, requiring a slightly longer application time for the wax to set properly.
Our Manzilian ($65) service is handled by experienced professionals who specialize in men's hair removal. For first-time clients, we suggest planning for 35 minutes to allow for a thorough consultation and a slightly slower pace to ensure comfort. Regular clients who return every 4 to 5 weeks can expect to be finished in approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

What Affects How Long Waxing Takes?
While we strive for consistency, several factors can influence exactly how long it takes for a Brazilian wax or a full-leg treatment. According to our licensed master estheticians at Magical Waxing, these are the primary variables:
- Hair Density and Thickness: Coarser hair or higher follicle density requires more careful wax application and potentially more strips to ensure a clean finish.
- Time Since Last Wax: If it has been more than 6 weeks since your last appointment, the hair will likely be longer and more rooted, increasing service time.
- Skin Sensitivity: For clients with highly sensitive skin, our estheticians may work in smaller sections to minimize discomfort, which adds a few minutes to the session.
- Treatment Area Size: While a standard leg wax takes 30 minutes, someone with significantly more surface area may require 40 minutes.
- First-Time vs. Regular: First-timers usually involve a longer consultation process and a more cautious application pace as the esthetician learns the client's skin reactions.
Specialty Services: Henna, Lash and Brow Treatments
Beyond waxing, Magical Waxing® offers high-end beauty enhancements that have specific time requirements:
- Henna Tattoos: How long does it take to get a henna tattoo? A small design ($15) takes 15 minutes, while medium ($25) and large ($40) designs can take 30 to 60 minutes depending on complexity.
- Lash Extensions: A full set starts at $150 and takes 90 to 120 minutes.
- Lash Lift ($65): Plan for 45 to 60 minutes.
- Brow Lamination ($60) & Tint ($25): These together take about 45 minutes to complete.
