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

Back, sack and crack waxing and what's included in the treatment

The classic back sack and crack wax, which is more commonly referred to as the BSC wax generally only included the small of the back (the patch above the sacrum), the butt crack and the penis and scrotum wax.

However some therapists/ salons that offer the back sack and crack wax often include a full back wax and also the butt cheeks.

As with all male intimate waxing treatments the names vary and also what’s included in each treatment may vary so it’s always worth checking that the male intimate waxing treatment you book is the one that you require.

I find that the back sack and crack wax is often a popular choice for my male waxing clients. My BSC includes a full back and shoulder wax combined with the choice of a male Brazilian or a male Hollywood waxing treatment.

I have given all my male intimate waxing treatments their own unique name and on my website if you hold the mouse on the treatment name a window will open which will clearly explain what’s included in each treatment and also the method of waxing that will be used for each particular treatment.
Previously I found that clients would often book in for a BSC wax and when they arrived for their appointment they actually did not require a back wax they just referred to a BSC wax as a general term for a male intimate waxing treatment.

The BSC waxing treatment is called an “Essex Road “ wax and the price is slightly cheaper when booked as a combined treatment than if you booked a back and shoulder wax and a male Brazilian wax or a male Hollywood wax.

So if its a sack and crack wax, a male Brazilian wax or just the bikini line check out our male intimate waxing price list we offer an extensive range of male waxing options and you should find a treatment that suits.

The waxing procedure is very easy and straightforward when carrying out any of the male intimate waxing treatments; you will be required to get on all fours to have the inside of the butt waxed to ensure the area is completely hair free. Non strip waxes and excellent waxing techniques ensure a more comfortable intimate waxing treatment. I specialise in male Brazilian waxing treatments so you are guaranteed an efficient , comfortable and professional male waxing treatment.

As with all male intimate waxing treatments if clients follow the male waxing aftercare guidelines then the skin will settle down quickly and the aftercare will help clients manage to keep skin clean, smooth and to avoid any breakout or possible ingrown hairs.

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.

Change Your Style Using Male Intimate Waxing

Years ago, the art of body waxing was usually reserved for women. Later on, escorts, bodybuilders and swimmers began to adopt it slowly. However, these days’ things have changed and many men from all walks of life have discovered and come to love this style.. This is a very safe and easy art of temporarily removing unwanted body hair. Generally the different waxing types include male full body waxing and male intimate waxing.

This technique is now a part of manscaping and grooming. It makes the man more attractive and more desirable. It does this by turning guys into metrosexual males. Metrosexual males appear enlightened, modern and sexy. They also appear stylish, educated, secure, cool and confident. Most guys now do it to please themselves because they have realized its benefits. On top of this, many of them would like to please their partners as many women love the feel and appearance of a hairless body.

This technique usually removes body hair from the roots. After the removal of the hair, it could take between three to six weeks to grow back. This is quite a long time during which a man appears well groomed. He does not also need to go through the time consuming and tiring task of shaving. When hair grows back it is smoother and nice to touch as its texture is finer.

Male intimate waxing is the latest trend in manscaping. This technique has become very popular among all types of men regardless of their profession. Some guys prefer to perform it on their own while others seek the services of qualified and experienced therapists. For best results, the hair in the pubic area should be at 0.25 inches long. It is also important for the client to make himself comfortable before the treatment by wearing loose clean clothing to prevent irritation.

The intimate waxing treatment involves removal of clothes in order to reach all the parts to be waxed. It is therefore important to be relaxed during the entire process. There are various styles to choose from depending on personal taste. The commonest style is the male  Brazilian wax. This style involves removal of hair from the intimate areas. It usually leaves some hair at the front of the genitals but remove all the hair in the middle and behind. There is also back-sac-crack style (BSC) where the hair is removed from the back, shaft, crack, butt, scrotum and perineum.

The other popular style is the Hollywood style. This style usually removes all the hair in the private parts. It involves removing all hair from the front, middle and back of the genitals. The parts that can be waxed using this method include the buttocks, penis, crease of the leg and pubic triangle among other parts.

Clients can have the treatment done by a professional therapist at a studio, salon or a spa. Professionals will make their clients feel relaxed and keep them as comfortable as possible due to their expertise and experience. They do this by using the appropriate techniques, products and tools. It is important to explain to the therapist the desired style for satisfactory results.

This type of male grooming has become so popular due to a number of reasons. Firstly, after the hair is removed the skin becomes smoother and softer to the touch. Guys also feel cleaner and fresher as the technique is hygienic. It is a safe technique that gets easier and even enjoyable after the first time.

This treatment also helps to bring out the metrosexual male. It does this by boosting the appearance, image and self confidence of the man. He also looks sexier and stylish which is something that many women love. His change of style can also help in improving his sexual relationship with his partner. Attracting the opposite sex also becomes easier.

Many men from all walks of life have decided to enjoy the benefits associated with long lasting hair removal from their private parts by adopting male intimate waxing. This is a hygienic and safe way of removing hair from the private parts. It boosts the appearance of the man, makes him sexier and boosts his self confidence.

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.

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

The Male Basic Back Waxing Treatment

Male Back Waxing Treatment – The New Basic Back Wax


As part of my male waxing service my most popular male body waxing treatment is the men’s back wax.

Within this I provide a range of back waxing options; a full back wax is generally the most popular and this includes the full back, shoulders, neck and the hair on the top of the arms.

Some guys book an upper or a lower back wax at times and this is generally an add on waxing treatment when clients are having a chest wax etc.

I have a few clients who really only need a basic male back wax treatment, which means that they don’t need any hair removed from the shoulders, arms or the neck.

As I offer a flexible tariff with all my more popular male waxing treatments I have now added a Male Basic Back Wax to my treatment list, it is priced at £25.00 and will include the upper and lower back only, any clients that require the other parts of the back waxed should book the full back wax.

All the back waxing options and prices are all listed on my website

Male Back Waxing - What's Included In Your Treatment

Male Back Waxing – What’s included within your back waxing treatment.




As both a consumer of male back waxing treatments and a male waxing therapist I have experienced so many variations of a men’s back wax treatment across London.

I have had back waxing that never included the shoulders, waxing that did not include the hair on the back of the neck, and I have also had waxing where the top of the arms have not been included...

So as a waxing therapist I offer my male back waxing treatment with a more bespoke or tailored option and I find these suits the needs of most of my clients.

I find that like me most men want to include the shoulders the neck and the arms within their treatment, so I have a flexible tariff within my treatment list (this is for most of my waxing treatments not just the back wax) .

Waxing is very much an individual thing and no two clients are ever the same, some men have loads of body hair and the treatment takes longer and more waxing is required, and then there are those clients who don’t have very much body hair, or those clients who carry out regular maintenance waxing and the hair growth is kept to the minimum. For these very reasons I find that a flexible pricing option gives the fairest price, and this seems too work.

In my opinion it certainly is an industry where one price does not fit all!!...

My back waxing treatment involves a consultation to agree exactly which areas you want waxed, if it’s to include the neck shoulders arms etc. Then I will trim any excess hair prior to the waxing (only if the hair is very long, and I prefer to trim rather than the clients as i know the best length required). When I wax the back I often get my clients to lay on their sides so I can create a more natural line between the chest and the back, and most of us men have a few strays hairs that are neither chest or back, and often best removed. I also get my clients to sit up so I can wax the shoulders and the neck so again creating a natural line and I always check with clients how they want their shoulders and arm hair waxed, it really is a very individual thing.



I carry out my waxing with a range of hypoallergenic waxes from Perron Rigot, and the range includes the pre and post cleansing and moisturising. I only use Perron Rigot waxes, they are the one of the best waxes on the market, and they offer an excellent waxing experience with minimum trauma on the skin.

One of my favourite products from Perron Rigot is their Jasmine oil, it’s a refined mineral oil that I use at the beginning as a barrier so that the wax clings to the hair and not the skin, it really makes a big difference on the skin, talc used to be used, but it’s really a very old fashioned way of waxing and most of the waxing companies now offer a range of oils to use.. I also use the oil at the end of the treatment as it removes any residual waxes left after the treatment and soothes and moisturises the skin.

At the end of my waxing treatments I use a natural tea tree moisturiser to soothe the skin.

My aftercare pack includes a written good practice sheet for my clients, a nylon disposable exfoliating glove to get them started, some Thalgo body scrub and a sample of a tea tree moisturiser. Often with new clients men don’t know how they should maintain their skin after waxing, so I explain this as we go along, and when they leave they know the best ways to look after their new freshly waxed skin. Often when I have had waxing I have never had any aftercare advice given to me, so I realise the importance of this and ensure all my clients leave with a good understanding.. Its then up to them if they decide to follow the guidelines or not!!...

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.

Male Brazilian Waxing - The Protocols For Male Intimate Waxing Treatments

Male Brazilian Waxing – The Protocol for Male Intimate Waxing Treatments.




Today’s modern man is taking more pride in his appearance and body image and male waxing is one of the most popular male grooming treatments.

Whatever your reason the benefits of waxing rather than other hair removal methods is by far much greater; Hair re-growth is slower and finer, the skin is smoother, softer with better muscle definition, and generally waxing will offer a maintenance free period for about 6 weeks....

Male Brazilian waxing and male Hollywood waxing clients used to mainly consist of bodybuilders, swimmers, and models. However, the trend and fashion has changed and all types of men are now having intimate waxing treatments to satisfy their self-image for that extra ‘optical inch’ and a smoother clean look.

Male intimate waxing is known by many names ; Manscaping, back sac and crack, BSC, manzilian, male intimate waxing, men’s intimate waxing, the male Brazilian, men’s waxing, Sunga, extreme male waxing, Brozilian, Boyzilian, Guyzilian, Boykini, male Hollywood waxing, Californian waxing…

On arrival clients should be asked to complete a consultation form, this form should have a list which clients should tick if applicable and include a client declaration that the procedure has been explained to them. The purpose of the consultation form is to ensure that there are no medical conditions that are contraindicated, or could affect the way the treatment is carried out, and that it is safe to proceed as planned.

Clients should feel relaxed and have the opportunity to ask any questions prior to the treatment commences.

Following the consultation the client should be left alone in the treatment room, and be given the opportunity to freshen up with some intimate wipes, and the client should be advised how they are expected to lie on the couch, and which items of clothing they should remove and what they should keep on. A small towel should be left with the client so they can cover themselves.

Once the therapist returns to the room, the treatment should commence.

At this stage the client should confirm exactly how much hair they want removed, which areas they want waxed and any particular requirements they may have regarding the hair removal.

With so many names and variations of male Brazilian waxing it is always a good idea to clarify the requirements so that both parties are clear as to what will happen.

The therapist should explain how they will perform the treatment, where they will begin, and the types of waxes that will be applied to the particular areas. Test patching and a wax temperature test should also be applied. If the client will be expected to assist in the treatment then this is the best opportunity to explain this to the client, and it’s always a good ideas to practice the stretch so the client will know what is expected of them. It might be too late to try and explain the stretch when you have a spatula with hot wax on the end of it!! More importantly the client’s needs to know why they should stretch the skin and that the taut skin makes the waxing procedure so much more comfortable.



So once the treatment has been explained and both the therapist and the client know what is going to be carried out its time to start:

Longer hair should ideally be trimmed or clipped back so that the waxing is comfortable and that the waxing application is smooth without long hair being matted in the wax. Loose hair should be removed.

Using a suitable sansitiser, the skin should be cleansed.

Then a fine application of jasmine oil should be applied to the area. The oil will act as a barrier and will ensure that the wax will cling to the hairs and not to the skin, making the removal more comfortable. Also the oil will moisturise the skin. If too much oil is applied the wax will slide about so it’s best to gently blot away any excess with a tissue.

Now for the wax... depending on the type of waxing, i.e. Male Brazilian or Male Hollywood waxing then the treatment may start with the complete removal or the trimming and shaping of the mons pubis area. Most male intimate waxing will include the penis and scrotum waxing, the bikini line (or Speedo line as it’s often referred to for male waxing), the butt and the cleavage may also be included in the treatment.

For intimate waxing it should be carried out with non strip waxes, as the skin in these areas include a lot of soft tissue then the non strip method is much more suitable as the wax does not cling to the skin, and no pressure is applied to these areas.

As a client you need to research your waxing therapist and be sure that the methods applied will be suitable for you. The only area with a male intimate waxing treatment that strip waxing is suitable for is the butt cheeks, otherwise the whole treatment should be carried out with non strip waxes.

Each therapist has their own technique and their individual style of waxing. The ultimate aim of any therapist will be to perform the most comfortable waxing experience , using the best quality waxes, the quickest and the best hair removal methods to achieve the best result and for total customer satisfaction.



Clients with sensitive skin and those clients should also check with their therapist that a range of products suitable for their skin type will be available and used for the treatment. With more and more companies providing a range of hypoallergenic waxing products these should be readily available as a treatment option.

So once the waxing treatment has been completed then the areas should be cleansed, a fine application of jasmine oil will remove any residual wax that may be remaining on the skin. The oil should be removed with a suitable sanitiser and then a refreshing gel or aloe Vera should be applied to complete the treatment.

During the treatment is the best opportunity to discuss aftercare guidelines and the best practice for the client to try to ensure that the skin is kept clean and clear and to avoid any break outs and to avoid any ingrown hairs after the treatment.

Written follow up guidelines should be also given in the form of a leaflet, this allows the client to read these guidelines following the waxing treatment.

Any aftercare packs which may include an exfoliating mitt or cloth with some suitable post waxing moisturising cream will be useful for the client, especially for first timers, until the client gets an opportunity to purchase their own aftercare product range.

The aftercare guidelines should explain the frequency, method and products for the exfoliation and moisturising.

Explain to the client what they should expect to feel over the next few hours/days and also that should they need to contact you to discuss anything post waxing the best way for them to contact the therapist.

Male Waxing Methods & Wax Brands

Waxing Techniques for Male Waxing Procedures



With so many therapists using different waxing systems, and application methods including so many different brands of wax available, I thought it would be helpful for clients to specify the type and methods I apply for my treatments. At the initial appointment you will complete a confidential medical form which will indicate any allergies or skin sensitivity issues and will determine the best wax to use for your treatment.


Brand – Perron Rigot wax

Considered one of the best waxes on the market.

With over thirty years of innovation in the industry and constantly developing new techniques and formulas to meet the evolving needs of the many therapists who use this product range.

With waxes to suit all client requirements offering the finest quality in depilatory care.

I use the following waxes for all my treatments:

• Cristal Ocean – Hypoallergenic Strip Wax


• Cristal Ice – Hypoallergenic Strip Roller Wax


• Euroblonde – Non Strip Wax


• Cirepil Pure – Hypoallergenic Non Strip Wax

•

As a pre and post waxing for the cleansing and moisturising I also use the Perron Rigot brand, and I use the following products, also from the hypoallergenic range:

• Eau de Cristal Lotion – Pre and Post Depilatory lotion


• Pearlescent oil – Pre and Post Depilatory Oil



To refresh and calm the skin after the waxing I use tea tree and natural aloe Vera based products.

Intimate & Sensitive areas –

Free Aftercare/ Take Home Products

All clients will receive a free aftercare pack following all their treatments. New clients (virgin waxers) often have no experience of knowledge of the best way to maintain their new waxed body...

My pack includes a written aftercare list which gives all the guidelines including good practice advice.

A small pot or tube of a suitable moisturiser is also provided for use on the area that has been treated. A disposable exfoliating mitt is provided; these normally last a few weeks in the shower, as a starter until clients can purchase a more substantial exfoliating cloth or mitts.

I retail a range of Japanese wash cloth, after waxing creams and gels and some products designed specifically for ingrown hair treatment.

A Brazilian wax by any other name....

A Brazilian wax by any other name...

With men’s waxing treatment becoming more and more popular, its often confusing knowing exactly what each of the intimate waxing treatment includes, we read online blogs and articles, magazine reviews and male grooming publications with so many names for these waxing treatments.

With therapists up and down the country all offering their own treatment list and trying to provide their own unique bespoke range of male grooming therapies clients need to understand the difference in the treatments.

One Salons version of a BSC wax may be different to another one....
As therapists we all aim to design a list that offers our clients a selection of treatments to cater for the individual needs from a simple bikini /speedo wax to a full male Hollywood waxing, we know what each treatment entails but often our new clients don’t...
However treatments vary from therapist to therapist and as a client it’s necessary to be clear that you book the treatment you want and that you know the difference in the treatments.
Male intimate waxing treatments are often known by many names; Brazilian waxing, Sunga waxing, Boyzilian waxing, Manscaping, Guyzilian, Brozilian.... there are so many different names used for the waxing procedures, and with trends changing probably many more new names to follow...
As appointments are generally timed and therapists normally know how much time they will require to carry out the treatment that the client has requested, then it’s really important to book the right one, as it may not be possible to extend your appointment time if you booked the wrong waxing and more time is required but not available as your therapist may be fully booked.
As a therapist I offer a flexible tariff for all the more popular waxing treatments, as I believe this offers flexibility for clients, and will ensure that those clients that carry out regular waxing or those clients with partial hair growth pay the lower prices for their treatment.
My treatment list clearly states what’s included within each of the treatments, and this has proven beneficial especially for male intimate waxing treatments. Clients know exactly what area is included and what the treatment is called and how much it will cost, so there will be no nasty surprises when they go to pay.
My most popular male intimate waxing treatment is the Brazilian wax, and most men know this term and generally most of them know exactly what areas of hair removal are included within this treatment.
My website will shortly be updated (November 2010) and as part of the update all the intimate waxing treatments will all be coded so that clients booking a treatment from their workplace etc can be more discrete. Often clients calling from shared offices or from their mobile while they are on the move don’t want the people around them to know they want to mow their lawn!

Price List For Male Waxing Services in London

London male waxing prices, from the classic male back wax to the intimate male Brazilian waxing , with the most popular waxing treatments offered on a flexible pricing tariff.

All men are not equal when it comes to body hair growth, so the price for hair removal should reflect this... one price does not fit all in this industry...
Clients who maintain their waxing on a regular basis and those with partial hair growth will pay the lower prices...

See the details of all these treatments on my website, including information on the free aftercare pack provided for all waxing clients....
