Mens Waxing

For best results, it's recommended to have at least 1/4 inch of hair growth before a waxing appointment. This allows the wax to follow properly to the hair and effectively remove it from the root. However, if the hair is too long, our professionals can trim it to the appropriate length before the waxing session. Trimming ensures that the waxing process is efficient and minimizes any discomfort.

Before your waxing session, it's important to take certain precautions. It's advisable to avoid sun exposure, as sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and prone to irritation during waxing. Also, refrain from exfoliating the area to be waxed a day before your appointment, as exfoliation can increase skin sensitivity. Lastly, avoid using skincare products that contain retinol or alpha-hydroxy acids, as these ingredients can make the skin more sensitive. Following these precautions helps ensure a smooth and comfortable waxing experience.

When waxing is done properly, it can actually help decrease the occurrence of ingrown hairs. Waxing removes hair from the root, which often leads to finer regrowth compared to shaving. Also, waxing exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells that can contribute to ingrown hairs. Our professionals follow proper waxing techniques, such as applying the wax in the direction of hair growth and removing it against the direction of growth, to minimize the risk of ingrown hairs.

If you have a skin condition or sunburn, it's important to inform our professionals before your waxing session. Depending on the severity of the condition or sunburn, it may be essential to postpone the waxing appointment until the skin has healed. Waxing on irritated or compromised skin can worsen the condition and cause further discomfort. Our professionals will assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance to ensure your safety and comfort.

To prepare your skin for a waxing appointment, it's recommended to gently exfoliate the area to be waxed a day before your session. This helps remove dead skin cells and allows the wax to follow better to the hair. However, avoid exfoliating on the day of your appointment to prevent increased skin sensitivity. Moreover, it's important to avoid applying any oils or lotions on the day of the waxing session, as they can create a barrier that hinders the wax's effectiveness. By following these preparation steps, you can help ensure a smooth and successful waxing experience.
