Male Waxing: Is It Really the New Trend?


index 

Female waxing has been popular since it became a trend in 1994. After all, women are known to be very conscious about unwanted hair all over their bodies. Female waxing also makes skin soft and smooth over time -- something that every girl wants to have.

But it is different with their male counterparts. While female waxing has gained steady grounds for the past years, male waxing has just introduced itself recently. In some parts of the world, male waxing is considered taboo.

Despite this, more and more men have been engaging in male waxing in the US. It is increasing in popularity as men also begin turning to skin care professionals in the fight against unwanted body hair from shaving, creaming, plucking, and trimming are time-consuming and gives temporary results only.

Here are the most popular reasons as to why men choose to undergo male waxing:

  • Being hair-free makes men feel cleaner, cooler, and more comfortable especially during the hot summer days.

  • Men wanted to impress their partners.

  • Some men are embarrassed about too much body hair that shows itself out in the open.

  • Athletes benefit from hairless bodies (especially true for swimmers, athletes, and cyclists). Male and female waxing is recommended by personal coaches and trainers.

  • Male waxing of intimate areas is also known to heighten sensitivity. This is why Brazilian waxing, a waxing service exclusive to female before, is now increasingly availed by men, too.

In general, overly hairy chests, backs, and shoulders are the most popular areas for male waxing. Some men also opt to wax the unwanted hair off their faces. Meanwhile arms, under arms, legs, and bikini areas are the most popular areas for female waxing.

Choosing a good esthetician makes waxing experience for both men and women less traumatic. A seasoned pro is more knowledgeable in handling clients than those who are just starting out.  Some wax centers also give hands-on training for male-specific techniques because men are generally more apprehensive than women when it comes to waxing.

If it is your first time to have a wax service, choose your wax center and esthetician wisely. Always look for estheticians with commercial experience in providing hair removal services for both men and women. Not only will they be good on waxing technique, they will also put you at ease while you strip off your clothes and lie down on the waxing table.
