Homme our new non strip wax by Perron Rigot for all male brazilian waxing

With summer on the horizon and warmer climates creeping up on us at the Male grooming studio and we have finally changed the wax that we use... Not the brand of course just the colour!! We only use Peron Rigot waxes and this also includes the range of pre-and post waxing products that we use for all of our male waxing treatments. Our new non strip wax is called Homme. It's a very nice green metallic coloured wax with a beautiful fresh Marine fragrance....

Although this wax was designed as a man's wax, it is used as a general Wax by many spas and salons. At the male Brazilian waxing studio we offer a range of male waxing and male grooming treatments and only use Cierpil by Perron Rigot. It is simply the best wax on the market.

So  we have gone green… Only in colour!. The new green non strip wax matches are green tea strip wax. We use non strip wax  for all meal intimate waxing treatments . These treatments include male Brazilian wax, male Hollywood wax, and the classic back sack and crack wax.

Male Intimate Waxing - The Back , sack and crack wax (bsc wax) explained

Okay so you have decided to have your first male intimate waxing treatment. For a lot of guys that have been shaving or using hair removal creams to remove the hair in the nether regions then the thing to bear in mind is that male intimate waxing is nothing like these methods and once you have tried waxing you will never go back to these other methods.

To begin with you need to think about which areas that you want to wax and then choose the appropriate male intimate waxing treatment that covers this area. So if it’s your butt, scrotum, penis, butt cheeks or pubic hair or all of these areas then there is a treatment that covers it!

So if you have been removing the hair in these areas with alternative hair removal methods then we recommend that you have at least a 4 week gap between this and your first waxing treatment; it will be much easier for the therapist to remove all the hair, much more comfortable for you and a better chance to remove all the hairs to achieve a good result for your first appointment. The other side of the coin is the hairy monster where no hair has ever been removed and the intimate areas are covered in a mass of long thick hair. Then trimming the hair prior to the appointment will be much easier for your comfort. For an efficient wax ideally hair should be 5/6 mm in length so leave hair slightly longer so the therapist has enough hair growth to work with.

Arrive clean and freshly showered prior to your appointment. Intimate wipes will be provided to offer you the chance to freshen up before the waxing treatment.

Following consultation and having your treatment process explained the waxing will commence!

So depending on which treatment you decide upon you will be asked to get into position. If the male intimate waxing treatment includes the butt cheeks or butt crack then we start on the back so you will be required to get up on your knees so the butt area can be waxed. This is the best way to remove all the hair in this area and to get best access to get the job done correctly and leave you hair free.

For the front areas the techniques used for all the male intimate waxing treatments do not require the client to stretch the skin or to participate in any way with the treatment; just relax and leave the waxing to your expert!

We only use the best quality wax; Perron Rigot for all our treatments. For the intimate waxing treatments we only apply a non strip wax which offers better precision, more client comfort and great results with minimal discomfort.

After the waxing we immediately apply soothing jasmine oil which will remove any bits of residual wax, before applying a cool blue lotion to remove the oils and finally we will apply a post waxing product, depending on the skin type we will either use a refreshing gel or moisturising milk.

Aftercare is so important and we offer extensive aftercare advice for all clients and on our blog we have lots of useful male waxing aftercare advice for our clients and we will provide a free aftercare pack for all our clients as well as the opportunity to retail our range of post waxing skincare as well as our own exfoliating wash cloth A Bit of Rough.

To make booking easy we have applied discrete names of local areas around our neighbourhood for all our male intimate waxing treatments so that you can book from the comfort of your shared office or whilst walking up the high street!

So for clarification here are the names and their more commonly known translation:

·         The Islington – a male Brazilian wax

·         The Angel – a male Hollywood wax

·         The Green- sack and crack wax

·         Essex Road – a male back and butt wax

·         Cross Street – a male chest, sack and crack wax

·         Upper Street – a back sack and wax (bsc wax)

·         Arsenal – a male butt wax

·         Holloway Road – male crack wax

The Truth about Male Intimate Waxing

The Truth about Male Intimate Waxing

Women used to be the primary market for waxing. However, recently more and more men are interested in getting male waxing treatments. Waxing for men is getting prominence because wax is more suitable for hard to remove male hairs. The beard is one facial hair that requires waxing. When a man waxes the beard, there is no unsightly stubble left behind. Typically there are two types of waxing that men avail of: general body waxing and male intimate waxing.

A general body wax treatment is when the person has the hair in the back, face and chest removed by the therapist. Intimate waxing is when hair removal is done on the genitals area particularly the pubic hair. When it comes to a male intimate wax treatment, there are certain issues associated with the procedure.

The new techniques and new generation non-strip waxes used for the treatment can help make the client feel comfortable and relaxed. It is not as painful as it used to be. And the results are quick. After it is done, hairs are effectively removed. It is easy to see the difference before and after the procedure.

 Male intimate waxing involves removing hair in the genitals and private areas. This may include the butt, pubic area, shaft, scrotum, crack and perineum. To get the best results, it is important to wax when the hair has grown at least 0.25 inches long. The treatment removes the hair from the roots not just on the surface. This is why it takes longer for the hair to grow back compared to ordinary shaving. It usually takes up to 8 weeks for the hair to grow again.

During the eight weeks, the client does not need to do shaving or trimming at all. Also, once the hairs grow back, the texture is usually much finer than before. The skin where the hair is removed also appears smoother. The reason for this is that the wax removes not just the hair roots but the dead skin cells as well. And since the client is not using a razor blade to remove the hair, the chances of getting cuts or skin irritation are reduced considerably. This is why a lot of men prefer to get male waxing treatments nowadays.

As with all intimate wax treatments, it is important to remove all clothes so the therapist can reach the private parts easily. There are different male intimate wax styles that the client can choose from such as Hollywood style, Brazilian style and back-sac-crack (BSC) style. The most common treatment is the Brazilian style. This style requires removal of hair in the middle and butt but retain some on the pubic mound.

The male Hollywood waxing treatment is when the therapist removes all hair in the private parts including pubic triangle and the crease of leg. The back-sac-crack style, as the name implies, removes hair starting from the back, then the shaft, crack and butt. The choice of style depends on what the client prefers. Also many therapists have different names for the male intimate waxing treatments so it’s often best to check which treatment you require and confirm it’s the correct choice.

One particular issue involved with intimate male waxing procedure is when a client gets an erection in the middle of the treatment. This is a potentially embarrassing situation both for the client and the therapist. But seasoned therapists know for a fact that erection could likely occur during these intimate procedures. The reason for this is that erection is an adrenal response to physical touch. It is not exactly a sexual reaction but more of hyperactive adrenaline.

An experienced therapist recognizes that this is a possibility that could occur among male clients. Usually, the therapist would ignore the incident and continue with the treatment as if nothing is going on. The erection will go away in due time. The therapist does not get offended because they know that it is a normal male reaction. Also, it could be the excitement brought about by the experience which brought the reaction. The therapist training and confidence in handling such potentially embarrassing situation is the key to defuse the situation. The therapist should be professional enough to be able to work through the issue.

After the male waxing treatment, it is important for the client to wear clean loose clothing to prevent irritation. The skin is a little more sensitive after the procedure. The aftercare when the treatment is over require that the client refrain from taking hot baths or going into saunas and steam baths. Gently exfoliation of the skin with an exfoliating product three times a week during shower can also help prevent ingrown hairs. Using a skin moisturizer in the area can also keep the skin supple and the new hairs to grow normally.

Waxing Versus Sugaring For Male Grooming Treatments

Male hair removal methods have certainly evolved through the years. Gone are the days when men used a shaving blade to remove hair in different parts of their body. The advances in technology help male grooming become safer, healthier, faster and more convenient to do.

Men remove body hair for a variety of reasons. One is to improve their appearance. Women often do not like hairy men especially if a thick mane grows out of the chest or the back. Hairs coming out of the nostrils or a bushy monobrow are also very unattractive to look at. For men who are into sports such as swimming, getting pubic hair removed is almost a must since they look unsightly with Speedos and swimming trunks. Some men remove underarm hair for better grooming and to prevent body odour.

 Male waxing and sugaring are two great examples of current male grooming techniques. These two hair removal methods have a number of similarities as well as differences when it comes to application. But they do serve the same purpose which is to get rid of unwanted man hair. An estimated third of the male population regularly do hair removal procedures in the back, chest, intimate areas, legs and other areas.

Waxing

Waxing for men, also called manscaping or more recently maxing, is a popular choice in salons or male grooming studios. Most men prefer to have a waxing treatment as opposed to some of the other temporary hair removal methods available because of the numerous advantages that waxing provides including:

 Areas that have been waxed often remain hairless for at most eight weeks. The reason for this is because waxing removes hairs from the roots not just on the surface and for those clients who carry out regular body waxing benefit from a slower regrowth.

Smoother skin. Areas that are subjected to waxing often have smoother skin. The wax serves as natural exfoliant since it removes dead skin cells once the wax is removed. It not just uproots the hair but the dead cells on the skin too.

Softer hair. The hair that grows after waxing is usually much softer. Also, there are no signs of stubble after waxing unlike shaving.

Reduce skin irritation. Shaving may cause irritation to the skin especially if the blade touches sensitive parts. The person may have cuts and razor bumps from shaving. Not so with waxing.

Sugaring

Sugaring is another popular hair removal option. The sugaring mixture is made up of sugar, water and lemon juice. These ingredients are combined in a lukewarm temperature. They are then applied to the skin where unwanted hair grows. The technique originated in Egypt.

Sugaring for some male grooming clients offers the same benefits as listed above in terms of the appearance of the skin, the regrowth period and smoothness of the skin.

Some male clients are drawn towards sugaring as a suitable hair removal method if they have heat sensitive skin or react to the rosins found in a lot of waxes. However it is worth remembering that a lot of the good wax companies often offer a range of products that are rosin free to offer these clients a more comfortable waxing treatment with less trauma and better results on the skin.

,Waxing and sugaring are similar processes but they do have differences in the application and results and clients should research the best options for themselves.

Both methods of hair removal use a similar process  ; strip waxing and strip sugaring – applying the product directly to the skin and then removing with a paper strip or a piece of fabric.  Non -strip waxing and hand sugaring – applying hot wax or sugar paste directly to the hair and removing without the need for any paper or fabric.

More often male clients can have strong coarse body hair and with the waxing method it can offer a better hair removal technique for various reasons; the  “ shrink wrapping “  effect of hot wax can encapsulate even the smallest of hairs to ensure a smooth hair free result,  something that hand sugaring often cannot achieve.  New generation non-strip / hot waxes can also be applied successfully to areas where hair grows in various directions, sugaring often does not achieve best results in these areas.

Degree of discomfort. Both procedures require hair removal from the roots. This means a certain degree of pain or discomfort in both methods, but it is worth stating that for most clients this discomfort is minimal and if these treatments are carried out by a professional trained male grooming therapist as opposed to friends or partners then the difference is remarkable!! You only need to look on YouTube to see those terrible home waxing videos...

Waxing and sugaring may not be a permanent solution to male hair removal but they do provide a viable option for male grooming. The long duration before hair grows back makes them a popular choice among male clients. Both procedures are effective hair removal solutions.

When the Classic BSC wax becomes the new CSC wax..

As part of our male waxing service we offer an extensive range of male intimate waxing treatment and these include the popular male Brazilian wax , male Hollywood wax and of course the classic BSC wax ( back sack and crack wax).


Traditionally the BSC wax only includes the lower back area as well as the intimate areas however at London Male Waxing we include a full back wax and the choice of a male Brazilian or Hollywood wax and find this combines two popular waxing treatments with a flexible pricing tariff so offers better value for money.

More recently there has been an increase in the number of clients having male intimate waxing treatments and a chest wax at the same time so we decided that we would offer this combination as part of our male intimate waxing treatment list.

So the new CSC wax is now available and it includes a full chest wax and the choice of a male Brazilian or male Hollywood waxing treatment.

With our flexible pricing tariff it means our clients decide how much or how little they wish to include, some clients prefer all the hair removed some don’t.. The choice is yours and at your pre wax consultation you have the opportunity to clarify exactly what you do want.

So to keep things simple we charge the same price so if its a BSC or a CSC they are both priced at £65.00 - £75.00.

Male Brazilian Waxing Variations

Male Brazilian Waxing and the  Treatment Variations Available

As male Brazilian waxing is becoming more and more popular there are so many variations of these treatments that often clients don’t know what they are booking!! Names vary so much from therapist to therapist but most salons/therapists offer clear definitions on their websites as to what is included within each one. If in doubt just tell me exactly which areas are to be included and I can tell you which treatment you require. I confirm all my bookings by text and include the cost as to avoid any confusion and all my treatments are timed so it also ensures I set enough time aside for your individual treatment.

With all my popular waxing treatments I have a flexible pricing tariff and this offers clients a fairer pricing structure. All clients vary in the amount of hair removal and for my clients that carry our regular waxing (every 4-6 weeks) then I always charge the lower price for the waxing treatment the lower price also applies to clients with partial hair growth or clients who have maintained their male waxing treatment.

For male intimate waxing treatments I offer a range of treatments which seems to cater for most of my clients requirements. The more popular treatment is the male Brazilian wax or the BSC wax. The BSC (back sack and crack wax) is a classic waxing treatment and various salons/therapists offer this. More often the BSC wax only includes the lower back area, crack, butt and the penis and scrotum area – but the BSC wax I have on my list actually includes a full back and shoulder wax and not just the lower back and is priced to include this.

My website has codes for all my intimate waxing treatments so if you are calling from your office and want to be a little discrete you can book your treatment without your friends or colleagues knowing all your business!!

Often the more hirsute men prefer their intimate waxing treatments to look a little less obvious and often don’t want to remove hair on the butt cheeks or the pubic mound and often prefer a sack and crack wax, this removes only the hair in the inside of the butt the scrotum and the penis. Whereas men with less body hair tend to go with the a male Brazilian or a male Hollywood waxing, which can remove the hair on the butt cheeks as well as the pubic hair being removed or waxed into a landing strip on the front.

My prices for my male intimate waxing treatments are all listed on the website and as the standard Sac and Crack wax is very popular I shall be adding this to my treatment list in the next few weeks:

Male Sac and Crack wax (butt crack, scrotum and penis) £40.00 - £45.00

The Difference Between Strip Waxing and Non Strip Waxing Methods

I often get calls from new clients asking the difference between strip and non strip waxing methods and which method of waxing is best suited to the male intimate waxing treatments such as the male Brazilian wax or the classic BSC wax (back sack and crack wax).


Strip waxing methods are great for general male body waxing – back, legs arms and the chest etc and the method involves the application of a warm wax using a spatula and then some strips of paper or fabric are applied to the area and rubbed firmly so that the wax will adhere to the strip and once removed the hair will be removed with the strip.

Non strip waxing methods are great for the intimate waxing treatments and the more sensitive areas like underarms, some parts of the chest, the neck and throat and all the face waxing (brows, ears and nostril waxing).Wax the texture of honey is applied directly to the hair and as it sets it will shrink wrap the hair and will be much easier to remove in the more sensitive areas. No strips are used with this wax hence the term non strip waxing, although across the industry this method can also be known as “hot wax” or “Brazilian wax”.

There are therapists who prefer to work with their own methods of waxing and will achieve the end result. For me I much prefer to use non strip waxing methods for male intimate waxing treatments as I find this the most comfortable and the most painless method of waxing.

As a customer I have experienced both methods and since having it carried out with non strip waxing methods I would never have it done any other way. The skin is sensitive in these areas and I find male intimate waxing with strip wax very very unpleasant... one word sums it up... ouch!!... This is my opinion and one shared by a lot of my customers who have also experienced both methods.

I only use Perron Rigot waxes and they are one of the best waxes on the market and I also use their hypoallergenic range to offer the best quality waxing with minimum reaction on the skin.

So guys in answer to all those queries I only use non strip waxing methods for my male Brazilians, Hollywood’s and back sack and crack waxes.. I hope this clarifies the difference in the methods

Male Waxing Summer Appointments

Hopefully a long hot summer is just around the corner and after that bleak winter it’s really great to see blue skies and feel the sun on your face again...

So guys it’s now time to start your male waxing maintenance programme so you are ready for those beach holidays and sunbathing sessions....

Regular waxing helps to keep the area hair free for longer, clean and smooth the best way to show off all your hard work at the gym - combined with your regime of exfoliation and moisturising you can have the perfect male torso for your holiday – smooth soft and hair free!

The most popular waxing treatment is always the male back wax with various options within that. However at this time of year I always see an increase in the number of chest waxing treatments, full body waxing treatments and men’s leg waxing treatments as we prepare to shed the winter wardrobe and get the shorts, t shirts and flip flops all dusted down!!

During the summer months it is much busier for waxing so I strongly recommend booking your appointment in advance to guarantee that you get an appointment time that suits you best. Often on a daily basis there are no available appointments and certainly all the peak appointment slots are generally all pre-booked (5.00pm-8.00pm) so call or email me to arrange your waxing appointment in preparation for your holiday. I do offer earlier appointments and I also have several late nights so that I can offer greater flexibility for my clients with appointment options.

For all my clients I have a range of really great waxing aftercare products to help maintain your freshly waxed skin and to keep the area smooth clean and looking great, these products include an excellent tea tree based skin wash, a tea tree body lotion and the Japanese style wash cloth – three essentials to offer you the best in male waxing aftercare.

Why I Use Perron Rigot Waxes For All My Male Waxing Treatments

When I was looking at developing my male grooming business after my return to London having lived in Crete for several years, I wanted to provide a male grooming service that offered a range of treatments and wanted to use quality products for all these treatments.

For my male waxing treatments I was introduced to Perron Rigot and started to use the product range. I looked at the various options of waxes provided and I tried several different ones to see which worked best for me and for the needs of my clients. Perron Rigot is one of the more expensive products but I do believe you get what you pay for in terms of quality. I had tested some waxes from other suppliers and whilst these were often okay, I found that Perron Rigot was so much easier to work with and the results were much better. I can speed wax with these waxes and apply a lot of wax to areas in one hit and then remove using strips, I often found in my trials that some other waxes set too quickly so I could not work the same way.

I use the Cristal Ocean wax as my strip wax, it’s a great wax, it is hypoallergenic it works really well for clients with sensitive skin and its rosin free, fragrance free, goes on really thinly and it removes the hair with less trauma. My clients often comment on how more quickly their skin settles after the waxing treatments. Cristal Ocean also comes in a roller cartridge wax in the hypoallergenic range called Cristal Ice. I often prefer to use rollers for male leg waxing treatments. I have tried other strip waxes from Perron Rigot and whilst they were good waxes, Cristal Ocean is the one I prefer and I have decided to use this for all my strip waxing treatments.

Euroblonde, the name speaks for itself it’s a well known and respected non strip wax. Many salons and therapists use this and on the forums used by therapists it’s often highly recommended. I use Euroblonde for my entire non strip waxing treatments including male intimate waxing treatments, face waxing and the delicate areas like underarms. I will use this when I wax parts of the male chest. It goes on well, sets quickly, grips the hair and leaves a smooth finish, exactly what we want. I also use another non strip wax and often this will be Pure, which is their new hypoallergenic wax and like Cristal Ocean, it is really good for those clients with very sensitive skin types.

Their pre and post waxing product ranges are also superior and I use these in all my male waxing treatments. The jasmine oil is a light mineral oil when used before the waxing it provides a more comfortable waxing experience and then applied at the end of the waxing it removes any residual wax whilst moisturising the skin. When applied with basic massage, it makes the difference between just a waxing and a waxing treatment. I also use the Perron Rigot refreshing gel after the male waxing treatments, it contains mimosa leaf and honey so it soothes and cools the skin after the treatments.

When I was in Crete I worked at a luxury spa which had the highest standards for the treatments we provided and I wanted to set up my business using quality products with a high level of customer service. I set up a really nice treatment room from my home, its spacious, clean and bright and laid out professionally with standards that equal any spa or salon.

By using Perron Rigot waxes gives clients an assurance of a quality waxing treatment. My waxing treatment list provides a range of male body waxing treatments, with a flexible tariff so I can ensure value for money treatment - those clients who have regular waxing and clients with partial hair growth often pay the lower pricing tariff.

There are so many male waxing therapists and salons that offer these treatments and as a consumer it is worth looking at the product range they use, the methods they apply and if these methods will offer the customer the best possible waxing experience.... It might be better to pay a little bit more to get the best service. After all often when we shop we apply the same rules - It’s the difference between the budget meat pie and the luxury steak pie!!

The Benefits Of Tea Tree for Male Waxing Aftercare

The Benefits of Tea Tree for Male Waxing Aftercare


Tea Tree oil is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia , which is native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia.

Apparently it was first named Tea Tree by the expedition of Captain Cook, Banks and the Botanist Dr Solanger , who identified the Tea Tree plant and went on to name it when moored in Mercury Bay in 1769.

The oil has so many medical benefits when applied to the skin (topically), including antiseptic, antibacterial and antiviral actions. It is more commonly found as an essential oil, but we can also find creams, lotions, shampoo, and soaps that all contain Tea Tree.

As with most essential oils, Tea Tree oil should never be used directly on the skin, and needs to be diluted, and usually in fairly small percentages, when you purchase waxing aftercare products most will specify the percentage of tea tree included, and the range seems to be within 1-5% on average. If you do intend to make up your own blend to use at home be careful that you do not exceed these amounts, and as always test patch on a small area first...

With lots of the leading wax manufacturers now increasing their range of male waxing aftercare products more of them are producing products that include tea tree oils, and soothing gels like Aloe Vera with packaging and design aimed at the male consumer.

After waxing the skin has been exposed to heat, with the application of the warm wax, the hair follicles have been removed so the importance of an excellent hygienic and soothing aftercare system is very important, to keep skin clean, to soothe , settle, and to avoid breakouts and possible ingrown hairs.

For first time male waxing clients, who often have no knowledge of aftercare or which products will work better for them, then the therapists really need to explain the best products to achieve a good problem free aftercare regime, having some samples available is a great way to get your clients used to the product and to see the benefits for themselves, and include a sample in their aftercare pack.

Most male waxing clients prefer an aftercare range that does not include perfumes and floral notes so for that reason the tea tree product range is great, and offering maximum protection in those first few weeks while the skin settles and the new hair growth starts.

As well as the waxing aftercare, Tea Tree products used during the waxing treatment is also very common, skin cleansers and sanitisers containing Tea Tree are used a lot, and often at the end of the waxing the therapist will apply some soothing lotion to the skin, and these often also contain cooling gels and Tea Tree oil.

If you are a regular waxing client or if it’s your first time to have a waxing treatment your aftercare regime is always important (exfoliation and moisturising) so get some Tea Tree based products and use these as part of your pack and you will achieve great results - Smooth problem free skin....

The ideal male waxing aftercare product range should include ; Tea Tree skin wash/ shower gel, and a body lotion with Tea Tree, and a Japanese wash cloth, and your regime should give you great results, each and every time....

Male Brazilian Waxing- What's Included in Your Treatment

If it’s your first time to book a male intimate waxing treatment you probably will not know what to expect and exactly how the treatment will be carried out... So hopefully this will clarify the procedure for your first male Brazilian waxing treatment.


Consultation-

All new clients need to complete a client consultation form; this is a simple tick list, with a list of conditions that your therapist needs to know so that they discuss any issues that could affect your treatment or if there are conditions that are contraindicated.

Insurance companies require all therapists to complete these forms and to maintain their client records. This information is confidential.

At this stage the treatment protocol should be explained including what is required from the client in terms of which items of clothing to remove, how long the treatment will take and the types of waxes and method of waxing that will be used during the treatment.

The client should be left in the treatment room, for a few minutes alone to undress, and ideally will be given some intimate wipes, so that they can freshen up and feel more comfortable for the treatment.

The Treatment

To begin with, the therapist needs to ascertain exactly what the client does require in terms of the amount of hair removal.

Often clients book a back sack and crack wax, or a male Hollywood waxing... and it’s probably only a male Brazilian waxing they actually want, but with so many terms and names out there we often get confused with the waxing terms, and also different therapists use a variety of names for their treatments, so clarify before you begin.

A full male Brazilian wax treatment generally takes 30-40 minutes to complete.

Each therapist has their own style and techniques that they use for their male intimate waxing procedures. I was trained in the UK by the best trainers in the industry and developed my procedures to offer an excellent Brazilian waxing service.

The best waxing method for male intimate waxing treatments is non strip waxes, this is when a thick honey like wax is applied directly to the area with a disposable spatula, the wax sets firmly, and it is removed quickly and swiftly by lifting the end and pulling of the hardened strip of wax.

No paper strips are used in this method.

The benefit of using this wax method is that there is no pressure applied directly to the area with paper strips, the wax sets and as it sets it shrink wraps the hair follicle so once removed the hair is embedded in the wax strip.

For intimate and for sensitive areas this method of waxing is much better.

The steps for the male Brazilian waxing treatment are as follows:

1. Cleanse the area using a skin sanitiser

2. Apply a light depilatory oil to the area

3. Blot with a tissue to remove excess oil

4. Apply the non strip wax- allow to set

5. Remove wax- apply pressure

6. Check all hair is removed

7. Blending of hair in surrounding areas

8. Apply after waxing products

A full male Brazilian wax should be completed in 30-40 minutes.



Male Waxing Aftercare Guidelines

Most new clients know very little about maintenance and the best way that they can maintain their freshly waxed skin. The best time to discuss aftercare is during the treatment, as you have their full attention and they can clarify any issues they don’t understand.



At the end of the treatment you need to follow up the aftercare with written notes, which should outline the best practice guidelines so they are very clear.

An aftercare pack often helps your client to get started on their regime, and it helps them understand the process. Include some suitable aftercare cream/ gels that will help to soothe the skin for their first day or so, and a disposable exfoliating mitt helps get their exfoliation of to a great start, and also include your contact details if they need to contact you to discuss anything or to clarify the aftercare process.

If there are retail products that you can either recommend to your clients, or products they can directly purchase from you then offer these at the end of the treatment.
