Hair Waxing for Men- Expert Tips and What to Expect

​Today, most men that hate that itchy feeling when the hair is growing back after shaving are shifting from shaving to waxing. Also, men, just like women want smoother bodies and longer-lasting hair removal solutions.
If you are getting ready for your first waxing appointment and need to know what happens, this article is for you!
We offer you great expert tips on what to expect and everything else you need to know about waxing hair removal.

What Should I Expect During My First Waxing Appointment?
​

​Because of how thick and coarse your hair is, your first waxing hair removal appointment can be more painful. Your technician will apply a topical anesthetic before the treatment to make the process more comfortable.
Once you get used to waxing treatment, you’ll feel less pain and the process will be faster since your hair will keep getting finer.

Is waxing for men any different from waxing for women?
​

​The only major difference between waxing for men and women is the amount of hair. Men tend to have more hair in more places compared to women.
For instance, men have hair on their chest region, back, and legs where most women are hairless. This means men’s waxing hair removal will take more time and will, therefore, cost more.

Hair Removal Wax for Men
​

Because men have more hair, waxing hair removal for men takes longer. This is why you need a professional technician to minimize the risks of getting waxing side effects.
A professional technician will use wax for sensitive skin to make the lengthy procedure more comfortable and painless. Also, he’ll advise you on ways to cleanse and exfoliate your skin before waxing for optimum results.

How to Prepare for Your First Waxing Hair Removal appointment

• Avoid using topical treatments or skin thinning creams
• Exfoliate the area to be treated before your appointment
• Trim your hair to the recommended length
• Avoid getting sunburns by staying away from the sun
• If you are using any medications, let the aesthetician know to determine if it’s right to get waxing treatment

On the Day of Your Waxing Appointment
​

Arrive at the spa at least 15 minutes before so you can relax before your treatment. 
The technician will advise you on the best waxing aftercare procedures to help you recover faster. 24 hours after your treatment, avoid working out or anything that will make you sweat.
Also, keep your skin moisturized and avoid sun exposure as your skin is still very sensitive. And to prevent ingrown hair, exfoliate weekly so you can unclog pores and keep your skin clean.
So you see… Waxing works for men! You’ll feel a little pain but it’s nothing you cannot bear. And the good news is that waxing hair removal results last longer compared to shaving.
