Leg waxing...

I'm getting my eyebrows and bikini line done soon, and since it's 3 for 2 at the salon, might as well get my legs done at the same time.

Anyway... what is the optimum length of leg hair for waxing? I've not shaved them for ages so I'd say they're 0.5-1 cm long now. I will probably get them done in a fortnight or so (DH coming home ), so should I shave them now so they're a bit shorter in a fortnight?

Howe long will they have grown 2 weeks after shaving? I think 0.5 cm should be enough.

Probably not quite that long. They don't grow very quickly luckily. Would that be OK?

I think 2 weeks of growth should be ok. It will miss hairs that haven't quite 'poked through' yet and they will appear a week or 2 later.

But waxing is never perfect except for the first few days.
