Put gobs of soothing callamine lotion and wash your legs. Also if this is your first wax it is usually more prone to redness.
Sunburn could cause irritation with waxing. Please inform your technician and service provider if you are using any skin thinning products (i.e. Retin-A, Accutane, etc.).
You may experience skin irritation for 2 to 3 days, if your skin is prone to irritation or if it is your first wax. You can speed the process along by exfoliating the areas waxed. The hair growth must be ¼" to ½" long (usually 3-4 weeks of growth). The first wax is liable to not be as smooth as you desire because hair grows at different stages. Only after waxing twice, will the hair begin to come out all together.

Don't worry, it will take about a day or two. Do not put ice pack or anything. Just wear long pants for a day or two.
If it is your first time, worst case scanario is one week.
I know because I have my legs wax once every 6 to 8 weeks for the past 10 years.

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful. Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

it should take about a day remember to not take hot baths and use fragranced creams - this will agrivate it, try get a camomile lotion in the worst case it can last upto a week, not because they did something wrong but because everyones sikins are diff - gud luck
