Everything you wanted to know about Mens Waxing Sydney
If you haven't been waxed before you probably have a few questions or common misconceptions. Here I try to answer most of them.

Preparing for your treatment
Before you come for your waxing treatment please do not shave or trim your hair (the area you want waxed). In order for the wax to grip the hair it needs to be around 5 - 6mm in length. Some other dont's to be aware of, don't have a fake tan for a few days before (or after), don't come straight from a hot shower.

Waxing is a very safe treatment however it cannot be done where there is sun burn, varicose veins, skin diseases, cuts and abrasions, chaffed or broken skin, warts or hairy moles. If you suffer from oversensitive skin, peripheral artery disease, peripheral neuropathy or diabetes you should consult your G.P or a health professional before being waxed.

Skin that has been treated with steroid creams, Retin-A, Differin or other retinoid acne products within the last 3 months cannot be waxed. Those who are or have been taking Roaccutane must wait at least 6 months after finishing the course before a waxing treatment.

What happens?
First of all any questions you may have about the treatment are answered. Then we will go through a consultation process to ascertain areas to be waxed, and to ensure no problems that may mean that area isn't suitable for waxing. Once on the table the area to be waxed is cleasned with a pre-wax lotion, then warm wax is applied to the area, a paper strip pressed down and then quickly removed - its no worse then pulling a plaster off. The wax grips the hairs and when removed pulls them away with it. This is repeated across the area to be treated and once complete a soothing tea-tree lotion is applied to help calm the skin.

Some frequently asked questions

Here are some commonly asked questions about waxing, of course starting with the first one everyone asks:

Does it hurt?
A little! But not as much as you'd expect.

Are guys really being waxed?
Yes they are! The girls have known about the advantages of waxing for years, and guys are now starting to take advantage of the benefits of it, of all ages!


What is the best hair length for waxing?
The optimum hair length for waxing is 6mm - 10 mm, if your hair is longer then this then when you come for the treatment I will use some clippers to cut it down to length. Please do not shave before a treatment!

What should I wear to my treatment?
A loose cotton t-shirt should be worn to avoid any aggravation to the skin after your treatment, if for legs some loose trousers. If you're having your speedo line done I'd suggest bringing some clean underwear, preferably boxers or something not too tight.

How can I avoid in-growing hairs?
Exfoliate the skin thoroughly to remove dead skin cells. Moisturise the skin every day. If the skin is supple new growth can break through more easily reducing the risk of ingrowing hairs and infection.

What's trimming / clipping?
Some guys like a bit of hair, but want it to look a little tidier. We can trim the hair down to whatever length your comfortable with. This is pain-free and some guys prefer to full hair removal and can be done as frequently as you wish.
