Back and butt waxing treatments...

One of our more popular male intimate  waxing treatments is 'Essex Road' wax which includes a full back  and shoulder wax and a full butt wax including the butt cheeks and butt crack.  We use Perron Rigot waxes for all our waxing and this treatment uses a strip wax method for the back and shoulders and non strip wax for the intimate areas.

Male Face Waxing - from bushy brows to hairy ear lobes!

Male face waxing package....

Bushy brows , hair sprouting out of your nostrils and hairy ear lobes is not a good look for the summer and can add years to most men..! 

As part of our male grooming service we offer lots of men's waxing treatment and within this we also have a face waxing package which will give you a groomed and tidy look whilst making you look more youthful and refreshed! 

We only use Perron Rigot waxes and for all our facial waxing treatments we use a fairly new wax called Visage which is a wax designed for use in this area it is much more gentle on the skin but still  removes all the hairs.

If you have never had your nostrils waxes before you are probably thinking it will hurt like hell... You will be really surprised as it doesn't when it's waxed with a good quality non strip wax; a little blob of wax is scraped across the nostril (we never put wax up into the nostril) and as it sets it shrink wraps all the hairs that are at the base of the nostril and leaves you looking clean and tidy. If you ever tried to pluck individual nostril hairs it does hurt a lot  but waxing them like this doesn't! Most clients are really surprised... 

Male brow waxing is becoming more popular but as part of the treatment we discuss your requirements before we start as most men prefer a more natural masculine style, buts it's your brows and your choice! ... 

If you are not ready to try the whole face waxing package we do offer the choice of a free nostril or ear waxing treatment to all our new clients with your first waxing appointment. 

Our face waxing makeover includes; brows, nostrils and ears and costs £ 25.00

The back sack and crack wax explained for a wax virgin!

The Back, Sack and Crack Explained For a Wax Virgin! 

A lot of the time we get calls from people who have never waxed before and they would like to book in for a male intimate waxing treatment; male Brazilian wax, Hollywood wax or the classic back sack and crack and often have lots of questions to ask about treatment procedure , what they should do before the appointment and how to maintain the area afterwards. 

Okay so if you are particularly hairy in and around the pubic area it would be much better if you trim before your appointment.  If you have trimmers then it's often easier to do this at home just trim the hair back no shorter than number four, this way you leave the hair long enough but you have to remove the excess. If you don't have trimmers or you prefer not to do this at home don't worry we can do this for you at the beginning of the treatment. 

On arrival all new clients will be given a consultation form to complete. Please note this information is confidential and is required as part of our insurance. This information enables us to ensure that we are able to proceed as planned with your treatment and may identify any reason for us to perhaps adapt or adjust the way we carry out the treatment. 

For the actual waxing treatment we will discuss with you before we begin exactly what you require. Often many clients get confused and think they want certain treatments and when we discuss with them what this involves it's often something else that they require so to avoid this confusion we have given all of our treatments their own individual names and each one of these has a clear description of what is included within each of these treatments on our website and we also confirm that this is what you require before we start to remove hair!

Arriving clean and fresh gets you off to a good start!... We do appreciate that people have to travel some distance often to get to us or that you may be coming straight from work so we will leave you alone in the room for a few moments with some wipes so that you can freshen up in preparation for your waxing treatment. 

 Before we start the waxing process we have to prepare your skin so as explained earlier long hair will be trimmed back. We use Perron Rigot wax and products for all our treatments and we follow the Perron Rigot method for all our treatments, so to start with we will use our cleansing lotion to clean your skin first and then after we have done this we will apply a little bit of jasmine oil. The oil creates a lipid barrier which will make your waxing treatments much more comfortable as the wax with not tug or pull on the skin when it's being removed. 

Then on to the waxing... 

With all our male intimate waxing treatments we use non strip waxes, often known as 'hot wax' this is a wax which is the consistency of  thick honey and is applied directly to the hair in the direction of growth and as it sets it shrink wraps the hair and is removed without the use of any paper strips so it's a quick and comfortable removal. The actual wax we use is called Homme which is a men's wax from Perron Rigot and this wax is used at a much lower temperature than some other wax brands so it's much more comfortable for these sensitive areas. 

After we have remove all the wax from the areas we then apply a little  more jasmine oil which will remove any little bits of residual wax that may be left on the skin. We will use some cleansing lotion to remove all the excess oils you are not left with any oil on your skin which may go on to your clothing and then we can use either a refreshing gel or a moisturising milk to soothe the skin at the end of the treatment. 

For most of our male intimate waxing treatments these take no longer than 30 minutes and for those clients to do regular waxing it's often much shorter. For new clients we factor in extra time is that've can complete the forms, discuss your treatment and agree your aftercare so just arrive at the agreed appointment time. 

At the end of all our treatments we will discuss with you after care and this will include all the ways that you can maintain your skin to help to avoid any spots or ingrown hairs. We retail a range of suitable aftercare products from Perron Rigot and these include the hair minimising range which some clients find beneficial to reduce their hair regrowth in the pubic area and we also retail packs which are designed for those clients who do suffer from an ingrown hairs with products designed to target these. 

For all our new clients we do give written after care guidelines which will reinforce what we have told you during your treatment and we also give all of our clients are free exfoliate wash cloth; www,abitifrough.com , these normally retail at £8 , but all our new clients as part of their welcome pack will receive one for free with all their body waxing treatments. 

So there you go ... That's our back sack and crack treatment explained. 



How much does a back sack and crack wax cost?

How much is a back sack and  crack wax? 

It is quite interesting how different therapist/salons market and offer male intimate waxing treatments and most clients have their own impression of what is included within aback sack and crack wax....

As the client you need to research and check exactly what is included as often there may be a huge price difference from one salon to another and generally this may be because of what actually include it or not included within the treatment.

Traditionally a back sack and crack (BSC wax) only included the butt (inside and out) the penis and scrotum with as much or as little of the pubic hair removed. The 'back'part of the treatments generally referred to the small of the back not a full back and shoulder wax....

But more and more therapists offer their own treatments which include variations of the classic wax; some include a full back neck and shoulders and some include a basic back wax so for this reason it is always best to check with the therapist what is included so that you can compare like for like on price options. 

We offer various selections of male intimate waxing treatment and these are designed for clients who generally like the combination of a male intimate wax with other body areas such as the chest and abs or the back and shoulders so our pricing structure and our menu of treatments include classic waxes such as a male Brazilian wax or male Hollywood and then packages such as the 'upper street'  or 'cross street'  which includes either a full back and shoulder  wax or a full chest and abs wax.

Advice with first time back / neck hair waxing for male clients

Whilst there are some areas that people can wax easily at home (for those guys that prefer to do their own waxing) with the help of a friend and some shop bought home waxing strips However the hair on the neck leading up into the hair line is often much stronger and coarser than the hair on the back or chest so this can be a very painful area to wax if it's not carried out by a professional! 
 
With general body waxing most of us waxing therapists tend to use a good quality strip wax for larger areas like the back, chest and legs etc and then use non strip waxes for the areas that are a bit more sensitive like facial waxing ( brows, ear lobes and the nostrils) underarms and of course for all the  male intimate waxing treatments. Non strip wax , or 'hot wax' as it's more commonly known is applied directly to the skin and as it sets it shrink wraps the hair so there is no need for any paper strips and when it's set it easy and quick to remove thus making it a better option for these areas. 

We offer a range of full  back waxes with the option of having your neck hair removed and we find that most clients prefer this and it's a better option with having it waxed at the same time rather than your barber or hairdresser clipping the hair on the back of the neck which will result in hair that's much coarser and stronger. Also it looks do much better to have both areas waxed at the same time. 

With regards to your waxing aftercare treat the neck / hairline a little more carefully and ensure that you follow your aftercare and continue to apply your post waxing products as recommended and if it's being waxed during the summer ensure that you protect the area with a suitable SPF as the neck can often be exposed. 

We always provide relevant aftercare advice for all clients that's relevant to the areas they wax and we retail a range of suitable post waxing products as well as recommending suitable high street alternatives.
