Male Waxing

It is important for you to remember to take extra care of the waxed areas, especially within the first 24 hours. Therefore: - • Do not expose the skin to sunlight or sun beds for 48 hours. • Do not use a steam room or sauna or any heat treatment for 24 hours. • Do not swim in chlorinated water for 24 hours. • Do not have very hot baths or showers for 24 hours. • Avoid friction from very tight clothing or nylon material. • Avoid using perfumed body lotions, creams, body sprays, deodorants or perfumes for 24 hours. • Do not apply talc, make up or false tan for 24 hours. • Do apply an antiseptic cream as recommended by us for 48 hours following treatment. Always wash your hands before applying the cream. • Do stay cool and avoid aerobics or exercise for 24 hours. Most people find the hair will start to re-grow within 7 – 10 days following treatment. The hair needs to be a certain length in order to successfully remove it by waxing. Allow 4 weeks before your next treatment. In-growing hairs may occur. Regular exfoliation and moisturising of the skin will help to prevent this.

We recommend you avoid all heat and heat treatments such as: Hot baths and showers, sun beds, steam rooms and saunas for 24 hours after treatment.

No, it will remove all hair and will not stimulate hair growth.

Ingrowing hairs are a results for the hair thinning and not being able to push through the skin.

We recommend hot wax for sensitive skin.

Wax is applied and removed with a cotton strip. Hot wax is applied and left to set then removed without a strip.

If you are using salicylic acid, glycolic acid or alpha hydroxyl acids these will cause the skin to lift.

There are many reason why waxing is great. -Being hair free feels cleaner. -Reduce body odour. -A nice smooth finish -Increased Confidence

Certain medications and procedures thin out the skin making it likely for you to peel or burn during a wax session. Always tell your technician any medication you are on.

We say 3 weeks growth, 1/2cm long.

No, The more sessions you have the thinner and finer the hair will become.

This varies client to client. After the first couple of waxes its every 4 weeks but some may find they can go 6-8 weeks between waxes.

Unfortunately waxing can be painful. If you have previously shaved or used hair removal cream then your hair will be extremely thick for your first wax, which will cause pain due to the hair being pulled from its follicle.

It all depends what area you are having waxed, Appointments times vary from 30-60 minutes.
