Does waxing hurt?
For first timers it can be painful but we minimise the pain by using a special soft wax that does not adhere to the skin. Many clients say that it is not as bad as they imagined it would be ... and far less painful than normal strip wax.
Should I shave down the hair?
Your waxing may be more comfortable if the hair is shaved down but remember there MUST be at least half an inch of hair for the waxing to be effective. To guarantee this no shaving must be done within 3 weeks of your treatment. Check with us before shaving.
What do I choose? Male Brazilian or Male Hollywood?
This is completely your choice! Most clients want the traditional Hollywood leaving no pubic hair at all. The Brazilian leaves some hair above the penis area, it’s all down to what you want.
What's a BSC?
BSC stands for Back, sac and crack. This waxing treatment removes the hair from these areas, and is the most popular male waxes we offer.
How can I avoid in-growing hairs?
Exfoliate the skin thoroughly to remove dead skin cells. Moisturise the skin every day. If the skin is supple new growth can break through more easily reducing the risk of in-growing hairs and infection.
How long will the results last?
This is a tricky one to answer because everyone’s hair growth is different. In most cases, you will see minimal re-growth during the first 3 weeks, with a noticeable increase after that. Continued waxing encourages slower, sparser re-growth.
How often should I get waxed?
If you're serious about maintaining that clean and sexy feeling, I recommend that you come in every 4 weeks for the first 4 appointments. You'll then find that the you'll be able to leave longer gaps between your appointments. The choice is yours and we're certainly not going to lecture you.
Why get waxed?
Men and women from all professions and of all ages get waxed. More than you would ever dream of. The reasons range from it being cleaner, to it improving their love life as it heightens sensitivity.
Waxing Aftercare
Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours, also try to avoid deodorant, hot showers, chlorinated pools, solariums, spas and saunas for 48 hours as these will iritate the skin. Use a loofah after two days, two or three times a week to minimise ingrown hairs. Moisturise daily and don't shave or tweeze in between appointments and you'll get great results.
YOU MUST TELL ME
If you've been taking any medication or using any glycolic peels or acne creams as these thin the skin and can cause the skin to tear. You must also tell me if you're not in good health or you have any skin complaints or condition.
