Waxing Tips and Tricks for Men

Waxing isn't just for the ladies. Manscaping has become increasingly popular in recent years, and more and more men are turning to waxing to remove unwanted hair. If you're a first-timer to waxing, it could be overwhelming. We are sure you have a lot of questions and concerns. That's where we come in to play. Below we'll go over the top tips and tricks for men who want to wax unwanted hair.

Ease the Pain - There's no way to sugarcoat it - waxing is painful. Depending on your tolerance of pain, some will experience more trauma than others. However, there are ways to alleviate the pain before you go in for your procedure. We recommend taking ibuprofen about 30 minutes before your session.

Trim Long Hair - If your hair is too long, waxing becomes difficult. If you trim hair down to between ¼ and ½ inch, waxing is less painful and more effective.

Prep Your Skin - The good news is that waxing is easier on your skin than shaving. However, we still suggest prepping your skin before your session. Exfoliating your skin beforehand helps to prevent ingrown hairs and results in a smoother look.

Leave it to the Professionals - While there are plenty of waxing treatments you can buy at the pharmacy, we suggest going to a professional. We use high-quality wax, and our trained professionals provide a smooth, clean look. Skip the at-home treatments.
