For the gentlemen…Or for those girls/boys out there who want to brainwash their boyfriends or husbands into getting hair removal…this one’s for you!
So let's get this out there - men wax too! All parts of their body, and for all different reasons...and it’s not weird. When I tell people I do sugaring, the first question is usually, “do you do men!?” And we love our male clients! Sugaring is all about looking and feeling good in the skin that you are in. And there are so many reasons that men seek out hair removal.
Insecurities about hair placement or thickness is definitely not gender-specific. Male clients have expressed to me that waxing has increased their confidence, made them want to take off their shirt more often, and has become a part of their regular self care routine. Picture gliding into your cotton T-shirt after a fresh back wax, your skin tingling and moisturized to the gods. Just the other day my client shared that he slipped into his clean sheets after a leg wax and affirmed that there was nothing like it in the entire world…music to my esthetician ears.
The point here is that there are some very “manly” reasons to seek out hair removal - things you may have not considered before.
First, sugaring is really good for your skin! We know that everyone loves a good 2-in-1 product… And sugaring is just that. It exfoliates all the dead skin and hair away, perfect for anti-aging. Additionally, It’s really great to bring out tattoos and other features! Think bright, clean-looking sleeve tattoos and chiseled abs that pop without a single hair shadow on them. Complete with sheer body oil and you will be absolutely irresistible.
Waxing can make you a better athlete. Having hairless legs actually can speed up the wound healing process in sports that are prone to these types of injuries like cyclists and motorsport athletes. Swimmers are also well known for removing their hair to reduce drag and water resistance…and you don’t have to worry about yucky razors!
Hair removal can make you more confident! I have spoken with so many men who are afraid to take off their shirt because of their hair growth pattern or thickness of hair on their bodies. Not only does sugaring make the entire area clean, but the hair won’t grow back as thick. As the sugar wax damages the hair follicle, you will enjoy smoother hairless skin for longer and longer.
So now that you have been convinced, here are some areas that you can totally try out for your first wax.
Chest/stomach - ooh la la. Let me tell ya, there is nothing like a smooth chested man walking towards me in the sunlight. Think Fabio. Be warned, this part of the body is notorious for being a little spicy on the pain level scale.
Back/neck/shoulders - depending on your hair growth pattern, you might want to explore sugaring your back and shoulders. This can be life changing for some men who tend to have a hairier upper back. I have met many men who only wear certain things because they are self conscious of certain parts of their bodies, and this is the cure!
Nose + eyebrows- these two come as a duo because I do not know a person in the world that would not benefit from waxing their nose and eyebrows! It’s part of grooming. I promise you, it’s not “feminine.” Experienced estheticians will be able to help you keep the rugged look of bushy brows while making you look clean and put together. And just trust me on the nose hairs, gentlemen.
BROzilians, That’s right boyzzz, the nether regions. In Las Vegas, we have so many beloved performers and workers of all types who have to be baby smooth for their jobs, or even just a grooming preference. Be sure that you check with the establishment first that they do this service.
Whether you are overcoming an insecurity, or just wanting to make your tattoos pop, all men are welcome and can enjoy the benefits of sugaring, too! We’ll see you soon boys!
