Male Waxing

Waxing for men is now an extremely popular service as more and more discover the enjoyment of being smooth and hair-free.

Waxing versus shaving

Waxing provides a smooth finish with slow, softer regrowth. Shaving can cause itching and stubble. Other reasons depend on the individual, but can include, for example:

For sports reasons, eg swimmers and cyclists

More hygienic, cleaner and reducing body odour

Because you like it

Because your partner likes it

It depends on the individual, but treatments are usually every 4 – 6 weeks.

What does waxing involve?

We use a combination of different types of wax. Warm, strip wax is applied with a roller to larger areas. We use peelable wax for intimate areas as it shrink wraps the hairs. This means it gives a really effective finish that is more comfortable for the skin  thoroughly removing even quite short hairs.

Comfortable waxing

It’s a good question as there is an ugly rumour going around that it does! We can’t promise that you won’t feel anything, but the sensation is very quick and is tolerated by most men well. Sarah and Rita have both been waxing for over 20 years, so you are in safe hands. They specialise in waxing men’s intimate parts, though all our therapists are trained to wax other areas of the male body.  Some redness and sensitivity can occur following your treatment, however, if you follow our aftercare advice, then these usually subside very quickly.

Before your waxing

Showering before your appointment is preferable. The area can also be exfoliated between treatments to help remove dead skin and prevent ingrowing hairs. The hairs need to be at least 5mm long, so please don’t shave or use depilatory creams for 3 weeks before waxing. We can trim the hairs if necessary. Loose fitting clothing and clean cotton underwear is recommended if you are having intimate waxing.  This is preferable as it allows the skin to breath and it prevents chafing.

Treatment times vary depending on the amount of hair and the area being treated. Shortest times being 15 minutes for eyebrows or nose, and up to an hour for a full Brazilian. In fact, it does get quicker and easier the more treatments that you have.

Please follow our aftercare advice

Avoid all heat for 24-48 hours following treatment – i.e. no hot baths/showers, avoid sunbathing/sunbeds, no saunas/steam rooms, no exercise

Avoid swimming for 24-48 hours as the chlorine can aggravate your skin

Do not use fragranced body creams or similar products because they may sting

We recommend an antiseptic cream (available in the clinic) post treatment for a few days because it helps soothe and heal the skin.

Ingrowing hairs are helped by the use of exfoliators and creams (can be purchased from the clinic)

Brazilian waxing explained

Brazilian waxing for men removes hair from the intimate areas. Hair is removed from the groin, penis, scrotum, buttocks and anal area (also known as a back, sack and crack). You can have as much or as little removed depending on your personal preference.  As a result, the prices listed are variable.

We want to ensure that we alleviate any anxiety you have and put you at your ease. Temporary arousal can happen with the manipulation of the genitals, although this tends to disappear rapidly. However, any inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated and only serious enquiries for these treatment are welcome.
