A Brazilian wax isn’t just for women, it’s for men too! Let us walk you through what to expect and how to best prepare for your session. If you’re looking to remove all your hair “down there”, this is one of your best options. Forget awkward razor angles and the risk of nicking yourself: step into the wonderful world of waxing!
What is a men’s Brazilian wax?
A Brazilian wax is the removal of hair from the front and backside areas of your body — from the top of your buttocks, between the thighs, and around your private parts. It can also be referred to as a Manzilian Wax.
What does a Brazilian wax include?
One of our wonderful professionals will walk you through what to expect and go over any remaining questions or concerns you still have. Once we’ve walked through everything, we will begin the hair removal process and make sure all your bits and pieces are nice and smooth. While a standard Manzilian includes the removal of all hair, we can work with you on maintaining a strip or patch of your preference if you so choose.
How much does waxing hurt?
Lets face it: everyone has a different pain tolerance! How much a waxing session hurts can depend on multiple factors; however, the most sensitive areas tend to be the inner thighs, perineum (area between the scrotum and anus), and buttocks. If pain is a concern, an ibuprofen or aspirin can be taken 30 minutes before your appointment.
Who shouldn’t get waxed?
If you have any type of infection, skin irritation or open cut, it’s best to avoid getting waxed. In addition, those that are on accutane or other heavy medications should consult with their esthetician as waxing may not be a viable option.
Why should men consider getting Brazilian waxing done?
There are many reasons why men should consider getting a Brazilian wax done, including saving time and money on pesky manscaping due to waxing being a longer term alternative, increased self confidence, and increased attractiveness.
Longer lasting hair removal results
A wax is a longer lasting alternative to hair removal, because there is little to no regrowth. Everyones hair growth cycle can be different, but waxing removes hair follicles at the root. This causes the regrowth period to start over, and leaves you with smooth skin for much longer.
Increased self-confidence
The best reason to get a Brazilian wax is for self confidence. Getting rid of all that unwanted hair can help you feel better about yourself and boost your self esteem! You can also be more confident when wearing swim trunks or shorts knowing there’s nothing peeking through.
Self-care and grooming is attractive
Lets face it, we all like it when people take care of themselves. Cleanliness is important to a lot of people and showing that you take time and effort into making sure you look and feel good is very attractive. You put effort into most things you do – so why not show that you put effort into yourself.
What to expect out of a men’s Brazilian waxing appointment
You’re probably wondering what you are getting yourself into when you book a men’s Brazilian waxing appointment – well, let’s go over what to expect and answer any lingering questions.
How to prepare for a Brazilian wax
Avoid wearing tight clothing during the 24 hours before and after your wax – this is very important to your waxing results.
Drink plenty of water! Your skin will be hydrated and less sensitive if you’re not dehydrated.
Be sure to shower beforehand so that there is no oil or dirt built up on the skin. In addition, it is important to exfoliate the day before in order to remove any dead skin cells from your skin prior to the treatment.
How the waxing session should go
After preparation, the technician will apply a layer of wax onto your skin using a spatula and then spread it out evenly using their hands. They will then remove the excess wax from your skin in one swift motion. This process will be repeated on multiple parts of your body until there is no remaining hair left in the desired area. Once completed, a warm towel will be used to clear off any remaining wax.
The best Brazilian waxing aftercare tips
Avoid hot water, excessive sweating, and exercise for 24 hours after your wax. If you need to wash, use warm water and a mild soap (no scented soaps) and pat dry gently with a towel — don’t rub!
Apply an aloe vera gel or oil to help soothe your skin and moisturize it. Try to stay out of the sun for at least 48 hours after your Brazilian wax; longer if possible. Begin exfoliating two to three times a week 48 hours after your appointment to prevent ingrown hairs and promote healthy skin!
