So with summer soon to become a distant memory it’s time to settle down and get ready for autumn to set in... But it’s still good to indulge yourself as part of your male grooming routine. Massage with warm oil blends, invigorating body scrubs, electric facial treatments and of course maintain your male waxing routine.
The most popular male waxing treatment has always been the men’s back wax. With regular waxing treatments the hair becomes weaker and sparse, any reactions on the skin following initial waxing treatments often disappear and the treatment becomes much quicker and much easier!
The male back waxing treatment with us is not just a quick “rub and rip” routine we offer a male waxing “treatment”! Using Perron Rigot which is the best wax brand on the market including their pre and post waxing skincare products, excellent waxing training from the best in the business and great customer service we provide one of the best male waxing treatments in London.
Okay so here is our routine and the male back waxing options that are available here.
First the skin is cleansed and cooled with a suitable pre waxing cleansing lotion, then a little pre wax oil is applied to the skin; this creates a lipid barrier between the warm wax and the skin and results in a more gentle wax removal. We use a range of strip waxes including a hypoallergenic strip wax from Perron Rigot which is very gentle on even the most sensitive skin; this is applied directly on top of the hair and removed using paper strips. For areas like the neckline or if there are short stubbly hairs on the shoulders (from excessive shaving or trimming) we apply a non strip wax (thick wax the consistency of honey is applied and peeled of rather than using paper strips). Once all the hair has been removed we apply some more of the jasmine oil this will remove any little bits of residual wax and then some more of the cleansing lotion is used to remove the excess oil and to complete the waxing treatment we apply a little refreshing gel which is a soothing post wax gel which will make your skin settle down much quicker. Often we get clients that pop in at lunchtime or on their way to work so it’s important that your skin feels clean and comfortable if you have to dress in formal work wear so our male waxing treatments are all carried out in this manner.
In our experience one back waxing treatment does not suit all! We are all individuals and some clients want a very basic back wax whilst some want to include neck hair, shoulders front and back and in some cases even a half arm wax! Our back waxing treatments are fixed prices and we don’t charge extra for clients that have excessive hair growth (and believe me there are lots!!).
GB1 – Male Basic Back Wax £25
This back wax covers all of the back area but does not include the hair on the front of the shoulders, neck hair or any hair removal on the arms.
GB2 – Male Back and Shoulder Wax £30
This is our most popular back wax treatment. Includes all the back and with clients sitting up we wax the shoulders front and back , we also remove the hair on the top of the arms (cap t shirt length) and blend to create a natural finish.
GB3- Male Back, Neck and Shoulders £30
This waxing treatment is exactly the same as the GB2 and also includes the hair on the back hair which is removed and blended into your natural hair line.
GB4 – Back, neck, shoulder and half arm wax £40
The mother of all back waxing treatments!! This is the GB3 with the half arms (down to the elbows) being waxed. This is often the back wax that guys that are very hairy on the torso choose.
So this hopefully clarifies how we wax and what we include within each of these options. When new clients are looking for a waxing studio and are comparing treatment options always check what is included within your treatments. We find that these back waxing treatments make it easy for clients for clients to decide which option they prefer and what it will cost. Lots of other waxing salons price a back separate to the other areas like shoulders, half arms and the neck so check what you need waxed and total the costs accordingly and then compare like for like!
After we have completed your waxing and before you leave we ensure that all new waxing clients get a free aftercare pack which includes written male waxing aftercare guidelines to take home and this includes an exfoliating mitt and a little refreshing gel to apply at home.
