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

About Jack Dunn Male Grooming

Jack Dunn – Male Brazilian Waxing Expert - Islington London N1

 

A background in the luxury spa industry and a passion for innovation and discovery are the main factors which brought me to where I am today. With a thriving studio for men and a growing list of products and therapies, I have an overwhelming desire to provide for the needs of men in a world which was previously that of women only.

The fact is that men deserve to pamper themselves, look their best and feel the energy, creativity and confidence which comes from being well groomed. From my early days as a massage therapist and during my four years working in Crete at one of the top luxury spa's in the world, I knew that providing a similar experience for men only was where my true passions were. I decided that focusing primarily on male waxing was going to be my niche.

Building on my training with the ubiquitous Kim Lawless, I was able to use her unique male intimate waxing technique which works specifically for men and their needs. My expertise in male Brazilian waxing and  intimate waxing for men has set me apart from my peers. More specifically, I am an ambassador for Perron Rigot and I only use non-strip waxing methods with Perron Rigot, the best waxes on offer – this means less pain and a better outcome.  The other male grooming therapies I have on offer along with my colleagues at my Islington studio include massage, body scrubs and Manscaping (body hair trimming).

As someone with a true passion for my craft, I have also developed a range of wash cloths designed to exfoliate the body following wax treatments. These cloths can be found at www.abitofrough.com. This product compliments my main business and is hopefully just the start of the products I will have on offer in time.

I believe that men deserve the same access to spa treatments that women have been enjoying for many years. I provide the same luxury feel with attention to detail and an environment where men feel comfortable regardless of the treatment they are receiving. It is my mission to encourage today's men to look after their looks with a range of male grooming treatments and for this to become as much a part of their body routine as going to the gym.

Interesting Facts about Dead Sea Salt

Interesting Facts about Dead Sea Salt

The Dead Sea has a long and amazing history. In fact, this body of water has been around for about three million years. That is a long time for many minerals and other potent, health inducing ingredients to become a part of this water. Learning more about the benefits of Dead Sea salt is important and allows you greater chances of being healthier and younger looking.

Salts for bathing are sold all around the world. Making the right choices for a brand is essential to you getting the real benefits of this famous sea. Many brands are no more than table salt and produce no benefits. Learning more about the source of your salts is necessary for gaining its benefits. Bear in mind that Dead Sea salt is bitterer than regular table salt.

The mineral content in real sea salts provides many benefits, especially when it comes to looking younger. In fact, in ancient times, Cleopatra took special interest in the area surrounding this body of water. She had cosmetic factories built along the shores to make sure the ingredients being used were from the real water. Millions of people have visited this water for soaking and retaining the minerals through the pores of the skin.

One mineral that helps improve the skin you will find in this famous body of water is magnesium. Magnesium increases the time it takes for skin tissue to heal. The surface of the skin is provided with anti allergic elements as well from magnesium. The process of cell metabolism is also related to magnesium. The younger healthy skin you want is easier to have when you provide the right ingredients for it to function properly.

Potassium and bromide are two more minerals your skin requires to be its best. Bromide works to relax muscular tissue and calms down nerves while potassium is responsible for the fine balance of moisture being maintained in the skin cell structure. Potassium is the reason too much water is not retained in the cells as well. The nutrients the cells in your body require are essential and cells must have a constant level of moisture to maintain healthy functioning, allowing nutrient absorption to be the greatest.

You have most likely heard about the benefits of calcium. You should know that calcium is also required for cell membranes to have strength and durability. The cells in your body must have protective shells to resist disease and other issues that could affect them. Taking care of your skin with salts will promote the absorption of calcium. Your teeth and bones will also benefit greatly from this type of calcium absorption as well.

Several body functions depend on a healthy functioning thyroid gland. Your thyroid gland needs iodine in order to function in the healthiest manner. Choosing the right salts means you getting enough iodine for proper functioning to take place. You can also add iodine to your diet for increased benefits. The amount of sodium you need is necessary for nutrient retention in the cells.

Zinc and sulphur are more minerals that offer great benefits for your body. These minerals are also found in high content in the Dead Sea. Zinc protects the skin and provides an incredible boost for the immune system as well. Cell proliferation occurs properly when your body has the right levels of zinc. Sulphur helps your liver function properly in dispelling toxins from your system.

Relief for some conditions has been found by soaking in this body of water. Sufferers of arthritis should certainly consider the benefits of hot salts baths for pain relief. The treatment of several bone and muscle issues include hot bath with mineral salts added to the water for good reasons. The absorption of vital minerals is necessary for the ultimate and complete healing of damaged muscle tissue.

If your bones are not strong throughout young adulthood and into your forties, you could be looking at several breaks and fractions after you get into your late fifties. Taking care to provide the right amounts of calcium is essential to you maintaining strong bones. Soaking hot salts can allow you greater calcium absorption for stronger bones. This is the greatest reason you should make sure your brand of salts in genuine and that the ingredients do come from the actual Dead Sea.

Taking advantage of Dead Sea salts benefits is a good way to better health fast. Taking time to learn more about the minerals your body needs is also an important consideration. Research the way these salts can benefit your health.

 

Tips For Healthy Male Grooming- Moving Away From the Dark Ages

Tips For Healthy Male Grooming-moving Away From the Dark Ages

Your health plays a huge role in how good you look and well you feel. If you are generally unhealthy, your outer appearance generally shows it. Learning how to remain as healthy as possible is best to look and feel great from the inside out. Taking the time to learn about the simple things that you can do every day will enhance your efforts for male grooming.

The foods you eat are very important, especially to your skin. You may be surprised to know how much action is going on in your skin cell structure every minute of the day. Making sure you eat foods that are high in antioxidants can allow you a slower rate of aging and clearer, younger looking skin. The way you eat has a lot to do with the normal functioning of skin cells. So for this reason more and more people are turning to much healthier diets and researching to find the best of the “power” foods to ensure they look and feel great.

Drinking plenty of water is another important aspect of your appearance. Maintaining healthy levels of cell hydration is necessary for you to not only look good, but to also feel energized and happy. If the cells in your body are struggling because of dehydration then it’s clear that they are not going to be able to produce enough energy for your body to function normally. Take care to drink water every day for ensuring complete cell hydration.

Rest is another essential requirement for you to both look and feel good. Getting enough sleep in today’s society can be a challenging aspect of male grooming. Making certain you get into bed every evening around the same time can do wonders for your health. Your body will use the down time to make repairs and get ready for the next day. Without enough sleep, your system spends the time during the day grinding to a halt due to simply being over worked and tired. Avoiding fatigue should start with a good night’s sleep every night.

Exercising regularly is another way you can promote good health. Keeping tone and fit can also allow you to look like you want as well. Working out on a regular schedule has many benefits related to how you look and feel. Consider the importance of being mentally healthy. By exercising every day, you can have a clearer mind and be able to focus on those things you find most important.

Taking care of personal hygiene is necessary to look good and to feel good about you. If you wake up each day without washing your face or brushing your teeth, think about how you feel by the middle of the day. Taking the time to learn about your skin type and how best to care for it is important. Choose products that do not contain a lot of unnecessary chemicals and learn more about how to use them on a  daily basis. Bear in mind that moisturizing your skin is most important to how young you look. Several brands of moisturizer are available for men that smell good and are not feminine in any way and most brands offer a line that is geared to the male grooming market.

Your hands are part of the external you. Taking the time to make sure your nails look neat and clean is necessary to promote a good look. Clean cut and shaven go a long way when your nails are neat as well. Keep your nails trimmed and filed to prevent less dirt from getting underneath them. Always take the time to moisturize your hands also. The same is also true for your toenails and feet especially in the summer when you are often wearing open footwear.

Your teeth make a huge difference in how you look. You should know also that healthy teeth promote your total well being as well. If you do not brush your teeth regularly and you have issues with cavities or gum disease, your heart and kidneys could be affected by it. Keep up with regularly scheduled dentist appointments and make sure you take care of your oral health every day.

Monitoring the amount of stress in your life is the key to your good health and to the success you experience in your endeavours. The time you take for you is vital for alleviating too much stress. Making a conscious choice to avoid stress is necessary for truly avoiding the side effects caused by it. Learn more about massage therapy or spa treatments for losing too much stress as well. Keep in mind the effects your regular exercise program has for getting rid of stress also.

The way you take care of your body determines many parts of your life. Making the most of life means you feeling healthy enough to do so. Looking good is important as well to maintain high self esteem. The happiest and most well balanced men are the ones that take male grooming seriously. Learning more about caring for your health is important.

Easy Nostril Waxing As Part of Your Male Grooming - Free for all new clients!

Nostril waxing for men is a very popular male grooming treatment and you will be surprised just how much hair that a little blob of wax can remove...

Often new clients think that it’s going to be a very painful procedure but it’s so much more comfortable than plucking a few nasal hairs with a pair of tweezers. If you tweeze one hair it’s really quite uncomfortable but when you wax and remove all these hairs in one go its fairly painless.

We apply a little drop of jasmine oil to the nostril this creates a lipid barrier to ensure the process is more comfortable then a small amount of non strip/ hot wax is applied to the base of the nostril and scraped across to create a little handle. As the wax sets we press your nostril together so that the wax grips all sides and all of the hairs are embedded in the wax.

Please note that we don’t push wax up into the nostrils or we don’t leave any spatulas inside the nostrils, the hairs up inside the nostril are there for a purpose and we are only removing the unsightly hairs at the base and not any of the other nostril hair.

We have a face waxing package that includes a nostril wax, ear waxing and a brow wax tidy up , this is a very popular male grooming treatment and it’s amazing how removing these hairs and tidying up bushy brows can take a few years off and leave you looking fresh and groomed!

As part of our new client package we offer the choice of a free nostril wax or an ear waxing treatment.

Give it a try you will be surprised how clean and tidy you feel afterwards and how easy it is to wax.

How to treat ingrown hairs after waxing

For most of us we have at some point had an ingrown hair and unfortunately some people can suffer really badly with these.   An ingrown hair is when the new hair curls back on itself and starts to grow  back into the hair follicle, or a hair that does not grow out of the hair follicle and actually remains embedded in the skin.

Ingrown hairs can affect most areas; the face, neck, legs, intimate areas or in fact any part of the body.

In most situations they are usually just a minor irritation on the skin, but if they are left untreated they can be very painful or unsightly. More importantly if they are not dealt with then they can become infected.

Unfortunately, while ingrown hair is more common with people having thick, curly hair, almost everybody will get one at some point and if you shave regularly, you may have to deal with ingrown hairs and razor bump quite frequently. 

Some clients who wax can also experience ingrown hairs and it is important to treat these properly and do as much as you can to prevent them. Often areas like the chest and pubic areas can be more prone to ingrown hairs if aftercare guidelines are not followed correctly. 

There are several ways that you can treat ingrown hairs and if you suffer with these one if these methods may help to treat the ingrown hairs.

1. Gentle exfoliation – Gently really is the name of the game here. I recommend that you use either a gentle exfoliation cream or a scrub product directly on the skin, or you can use an exfoliating wash cloth or a pair of mitts with an anti bacterial skin wash. I do find a loofah too rough on the skin. Exfoliate twice a day in the shower and if you are exfoliating gently enough you should be able to just “nudge “the hair so that it can release itself. Be careful not to exfoliate too roughly as you don’t want to break and cut the skin as this will cause scabs to form and this will make it really difficult then for the hair to get through the skin.  I find that the Bit of Rough exfoliating washcloth is perfect as its gentle on the skin but just rough enough to left the dead skin cells.

 

2. Applying an ingrown hair product -There are many products available on the market for the treatment of ingrown hairs and if you research on the internet you can see which ones are available and often read reviews for these. Also most therapists who offer waxing will often retail or recommend a product that can be used for the treatment of ingrown hairs. Products containing Salicylic acid are often the best and can be applied to the skin a few times a day for the recommended period; also the Salicylic acid will soothe the inflammation.  If you combine this with gentle exfoliation and keeping the skin as clean as possible then should help to remove the ingrown hairs. Some clients have found that the application of Magnesium Sulphate and left overnight has also helped to lift the hair out of the skin.

 

3. Teasing out the hair – If you managed to get the ingrown hair to the surface then you should be able to get it out. Take a warm flannel or some cotton pads with hot water and press them on the skin and the heat will gently soften the skin. You will need to do this several times and apply the compress with hot water. This will bring the hair to the surface and now you should be able to actually tease the hair out of the skin. Use a pair of clean sterile tweezers that will lift the hair. Take care that you don’t break the skin and remove the hair with the tweezers in the direction of growth taking care not to snap or cut the hair. Keep the skin clean and a little medicated cream applied to the area will soothe and treat the skin surrounding the hair.

With all these things prevention is so much better than cure , so follow the waxing aftercare guidelines and for most people this help to avoid ingrown hairs from developing.

I have recently discovered a really fantastic skincare range that I am going to add to my treatments over the next few months.

It’s the Eve Taylor aromatherapy skin care range which is a professional skincare brand that is paraben free and using only natural aromatherapy products and the best range of plant essences.  Eve Taylor has over four decades of skincare experience so you can be sure that your skin will get the best quality product range.

I shall be using the Eve Taylor pre blended  massage oils for all my aromatherapy massage treatments and as part of my Signature massage treatment I shall be using the Eve Taylor candles and the warm Soya wax can be massaged directly onto the body and I shall include this within my reflex massage. The warm massage oil combined with the aroma of the burning candle creates a really relaxing aromatherapy treatment.

 I shall also be offering the range as part of my facial treatments that I provide within my male grooming service at the moment I provide a basic range of facial treatments but I shall soon be providing a selection of Mechanical facial treatments including Galvanic facials and a range of others. Details of the new range will follow shortly with details of the promotion to introduce the range to my service. Like all skincare ranges there is a product that suits all skin types and a range of suitable face masks to offer the best possible treatment and to achieve the best results for the various skin types.

The Eve Taylor range will also be used as part of my men’s spa treatments with a great new salt and seaweed body scrub being added to the treatments.

I am currently rebranding my website with new logo and streamlining all the websites into one site offering all the treatments and also there will be a blog page that will be focusing only on male waxing aftercare so hopefully this will be helpful for new clients to refer to for tips on how to maintain their skin after waxing.

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.
