I take pride in professional, safe effective depilation (waxing) services for men & women. I prefer to use film wax on most areas- which is best for sensitive skin. I use single spatulas for hygiene purposes. Please see below for pre and post waxing advice.

GENTLEMEN
-
Let’s start with the basics. By my definition a male Brazilian/Brozillian/Manzillion wax is the process of removing all hair from the top of the pubic mound, the shaft, the testicles and the area between the cheeks,( aka the crack -read with giant exaggeration). This can be altered suit.
-
Areas like ears, eyebrow, nose, beard shaping. Hot wax- which is pliable and gentle is used in these areas. Eyebrows may also be tweezed and trimmed to maintain a natural groomed look.
-
The entire back will be waxed along with any hair on the tops of the shoulder up to the collar bone. Included is a cooling gel to help soothe the skin and remove any wax residue. If you want a portion of your upper arm waxed that may be an additional half arm wax charge ($30) depending on the size of the area and the amount of additional wax used. For skin that is reactive you can book the ADD ON Mask/ galvanic treatment to help combat breakouts, redness or bumps.

Before & Aftercare
To maximise the benefits of waxing please follow this advice…
Dont exfoliate or wear lotion or any potential skin irritants 48 hours prior to appointment, fake tanning will also be removed in the waxing process. Its recommended to have at least 3 weeks growth of hair prior.( approx length of a grain of rice).
On the day of waxing avoid nicotine, disprin/asprin, caffeine, and alcohol, these can increase skin sensitivity.
Avoid exfoliation, sun exposure, saunas and swimming post treatment for 48hours- this can lead to irritated skin, submerging skin in warm water/environments can cause potential infections- this can include gym with sweating.
Continue skincare, exfoliation and ingrown hair solutions after 48 hours. Spray tans after 24hours of waxing. Avoid lotions with perfume or irritants. For special events I would recommend getting waxing 2-4 days prior. Follow up appointments for legs is 3-5 weeks, face area, bikini/groin, underarm, 2-3 weeks this allows the hair to regrow to a wax able length and accommodates the emergence of hairs that wernt’t previously in the active growth phase. I recommend Italwax orchid hair retardant lotion to assist in slowing hair growth, minimize irritation, and prevent ingrown hairs.
