Male Waxing

Celtic67 · 23-07-2009 5:11pm #1

Hi,
I'm off on my hols in 2 weeks. Have spent last 3 months getting fit in preparation. I have hairy chest and abs area. I want to get these areas waxed to show off my efforts over the last few months for vanity purposes and because it looks much cleaner.

I got it done about a year ago also and it really really hurt. Are there any ways (anaestethic sprays etc) I can go about reducing the pain involved?

I love the look after it but am not sure I can endure the pain again.

Thanks

Might be stating the obvious here, but trim it first (as short as you can). If there is any length in the hair at all, it'll hurt like hell.

If you go for a hot wax over the strip wax it's much less painful

- think 6/10 on the pain scale for the hot wax compared to 10/10 for the strip. It usually only costs a few euro more, and it's well worth it.

I'm based in Dublin and go to Braziala on South William St. Just chatting with them when I'm getting my procedures done, they said they have a lot of male clients. If you give them a ring I'm sure they will give you all the tips like:

-make sure the hair is at least 1/4 of an inch long so it can be gripped
-avoid caffeine, nicotine and sugar for 2 hours before as it increases your sensitivity etc
