How Non Strip Wax Can Provide You With a More Comfortable Form of Hair Removal

Throughout recent years, an increasing number of men have become interested in keeping themselves well-groomed. While a lot of men still would never set foot inside a salon, "manscaping" (also known as the removal of male body hair) is gaining in popularity. While being a furry beast is still preferred by some men (and appreciated by some women), there's nothing wrong with wanting to be smooth all over.

Body hair, at one time, served a purpose; that purpose being to help the body retain heat. Men and women both develop body hair after puberty and this is completely natural. However, today it is no longer a necessary part of survival. Somewhere along the line, human beings began to be offended by unneeded hair growing upon their bodies. Fortunately for these people, there are some relatively simple and pain-free ways to remove it.

Shaving is one of the easiest ways to get rid of body hair. However, there are drawbacks. Stubble grows in quickly after shaving and there is also the threat of razor burn. There are many gadgets on the market to help people rid themselves of body hair, but one of the most sought after approaches is that of body waxing.

There are two basic kinds of waxes for hair removal. One is strip waxing; the other is non-strip (also known as hot-wax). Strip waxing is great at removing large patches of hair on larger parts of the body. With this method, a sticky warm wax is smeared on the area, a paper strip or muslin cloth is applied over it, and the hair is pulled out as the strip is quickly removed.

The non-strip approach is better for removing hair on sensitive parts of the body. There are no  paper strips or cloths applied over this wax; it forms its own strip. There was once a time when hot-wax had to be heated to temperatures that were almost unbearable to the skin. Today, however, this is no longer the case. What was once hot wax is now warm wax, making application much more comfortable.

If you have very course, short hairs, non-strip wax does a great job of grabbing a hold of them. When the wax dries on the body, it shrinks and encapsulates even the tiniest of hairs. It's not as messy as strip-wax, and the procedure for male grooming may end up taking less time. When it comes to pain, having hair yanked out is never comfortable, but many people feel that non-strip wax is more tolerable than strip wax on sensitive skin and therefore a much more suitable method for male intimate waxing treatments.

Male Waxing Aftercare - The all new Bush Balm ...

As part of our commitment to male waxing aftercare we are pleased to now offer an extended range of post wax skincare from Outback Organics. As a male waxing therapist and having been waxed we only ever retail products that we know will work and more importantly that they will do what it says on the tin!!


We endorse our waxing aftercare advice at every opportunity and our aftercare information, retail skincare products and support for all our clients is continually reviewed and updated – pre appointment information is offered, a free aftercare pack for all new clients and post waxing feedback or support for all our clients and in addition to this we also offer a range of retail skincare to support your aftercare regime. It’s our before during and after approach to waxing aftercare advice to ensure that our clients get the best skincare advice to achieve the results.

We also recognise that some clients may prefer high street alternatives and we are happy to suggest products that may offer similar aftercare benefits.

So we are pleased to be offering the new products from Outback Organics. These will include a scrub which is great for using on the body and the face, an ingrown hair serum for clients that suffer with ingrown hairs and “Bush Balm” an intense moisturiser which is a great aftercare product for the intimate waxing treatments. These are in addition to the range we currently offer which includes the Tea Tree skin wash and the Tea Tree hand and body lotion and now we are also happy to offer these products in 100ml as well as the larger 250ml options so it’s the perfect travel size and will fit nicely into your wash bag.... so guys no more excuses its aftercare on the go!!

Bush Balm has been designed as an intensive post wax moisturising balm. This balm is amazing – it’s so fast and you really can see the benefit - when applied directly after waxing you can see the skin settle and the redness disappear within minutes. Bush Balm contains bioactive Aloe, Allantoin and Frankincense extract these will soothe the skin after the initial waxing treatment with added Shea butter and Macadamia oil which deeply moisturise and nourish the skin. In simple terms Allantoin is moisturizing and keratolytic; meaning that it causes keratin in the skin to soften and is great for soothing and healing the skin. Frankincense is an anti inflammatory and combined with the cooling effects of Aloe and the moisturising benefits of Shea butter and Macadamia oils it all adds up to create a really intensive moisturiser which will work wonders for aftercare for the more sensitive areas such as the face and intimate areas. We shall be using the Bush Balm as a post wax treatment directly after all our male intimate waxing treatments so you can see the amazing benefits yourself and will also is available to purchase for home use.

More information will follow on the new after waxing scrub and the serum for treatment of ingrown hairs and an update on the changes to our free aftercare pack supplied for all our new customers.

Male Torso Waxing Service

One of the more popular male waxing combinations is the  full back wax and the full male chest wax.

Our new Torso wax combination offers these two treatments and also includes an underarm waxing treatment.

Using only Perron Rigot waxes and a combination of strip and some non strip waxing methods to ensure a quality waxing service using hypoallergenic waxes to provide a more comfortable waxing treatment.

Details of the male Torso wax and all the other waxing treatments are included on our price list on the website.

Full Torso Wax ( Full back, chest wax and an underarm wax) - £60.00

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
