How to Book Body Waxing Treatments for Men

Hair removal through waxing treatments has become very popular with men in recent years. Finding a hair removal salon or spa that will cater to men may be more of a challenge, however. By selecting the proper spa or salon, you will be able to book waxing treatments at a facility that will make you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Instructions

1. Find a spa or salon that offers waxing services for hair removal, and call to ask if men are welcomed. Many of these types of spas may cater only to women, possibly because they retain only female waxing technicians. It's easier to ask such questions anonymously by phone than to show up in person and feel self-conscious.

2. Visit the spa or salon before you book body waxing treatments to determine whether you will feel relaxed and comfortable in this particular setting. You may feel slightly stressed if you have to wait in a roomful of women who are staring at you, wondering why you are there. Remember that if you are unusually tense or apprehensive during the body waxing treatment, you will probably experience more pain.

3. Ask questions about the waxing treatments, as well as the etiquette that should be followed during the procedure. A first-time client may be curious about the level of pain, the amount of clothing that will need to be removed, whether or not tipping is expected and whether any lotions or gels are used to soothe the pain after the waxing procedure.

4. Find out about the level of privacy offered when you book body waxing treatments for men. Check to see whether private rooms are offered while you are being waxed. If you are receiving a fairly intimate waxing treatments, such as on your buttocks or pubic area, you may want to ask about having a third person in the room with you, especially if the technician is of the opposite sex.

5. Schedule follow-up treatments if you are pleased with the results of body waxing treatments. A waxing treatment may last from 6 to 10 weeks, depending upon the client, and by scheduling frequent maintenance sessions, you can reduce the amount of pain on each visit.

Tips & Warnings

• Always tip your hair removal technician, especially after a particularly intimate service, such as a Brazilian wax (where hair is removed from the pubic and anal areas). A 20 percent gratuity is considered normal in such cases.
