Male Waxing 101
The words wax and male in the same sentence may cause some men around Atlanta to shake their heads just thinking about the scenario.
While popular movies and perhaps, cultural considerations portray the concept of men waxing from a less than positive viewpoint, the long list of myths associated with male grooming far exceeds the realities involved.
From keeping a clean, sleek appearance to removing irritating stubble; professional men who incorporate regular waxing sessions into their daily grooming routine tend to feel more confident, while also conveying success in a subtle and simple fashion.
Why Get Waxed?
The most common reason men choose to get waxed is because of unwanted hair. Most men typically choose to use razors and shave, but that comes with a painful price. Using razors can cause skin irritation that produces razor bumps, which can be extremely uncomfortable and painful.
For men that work within executive level positions and are tied down by their responsibilities, waxing reduces the frequency of shaving, while also eliminating the irritated skin left by traditional shaving.
Areas that are hairless thanks to waxing, can remain hairless for up to eight weeks depending on the individual.
Why?
It’s because when you get waxed, the hair is taken out at the root as opposed to shaving where just the surface of the hair is removed.
Does Waxing Hurt?
Everyone has a different tolerance for pain; some people can lay back and have a conversation with their grooming consultant, while others experience different sensations.
The area of the body that is getting waxed will determine the pain level, although there are plenty of accessible solutions that help significantly reduce possible displeasure.
Start Small – When waxing one’s legs, begin with a small area, such as the ankles or the back of the calf area. Slight discomfort in small doses can make the experience much more comfortable, especially for men who have hairier physiques.
Pain Relievers – Many waxing experts suggest taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before a waxing session. Of course, this takes away from the initial discomfort of waxing, as it’s happening but after the pain relievers wear off, you could start to feel all of the pain all at once.
Creams - There are plenty of creams available online and in many department stores that numb the skin’s surface, eliminating any possible discomfort.
Exfoliate - Using an exfoliating sponge on the area of the skin that will be waxed gets rid of existing dead skin, which allows the hair to be properly pulled from the root.
The Entire Waxing Process
Knowing the steps that go into the before, during and after processes around waxing reduces any ill fated impressions conjured by events portrayed on television and movies.
Here are the steps esthetician’s take when waxing:
Cleaning – The esthetician will clean the specific area of the body thoroughly, making sure that the skin is free of all dead skin and bacteria.
Waxing – Warm wax is applied directly to the skin. It is nearly always applied in the direction that the hair grows.
Apply Strip – A cloth or paper strip is firmly applied to skin.
Remove Strip – After firmly applied, the strip is then removed from the skin.
Moisturize – Applying oil will help remove any traces of wax, as well as sooth the area of the skin after the waxing session.
Lotion – Applying lotion will keep the skin clean, as well as allow it to heal correctly.
Feel More Confident, Get Waxed
Waxing is just another essential component of the entire grooming experience for professional, successful men that are too busy to schedule one more appointment into their daily schedule.
When working with professional, experienced mobile grooming consultants, the entire experience can be comfortable, while also allowing other priorities to still take place.
