I've waxed the missus' legs. Turned out very well. Although I'd recommend highly that anyone considering a first time pay the bucks for a salon and have a pro do it right. As with having a hooker pop your kid's cherry, learning how it's supposed to be done correctly from the very start can head off years of doing it wrong (and not knowing it) and suffering. But in all cases, having someone else pull it off (surprise) makes a world of difference compared to knowing it's coming and anticipating it.
