Common Men’s Grooming Questions

Questions are good. It means you’re smart and you care about the details. Especially when it comes to grooming, it’s normal to be curious—whether it’s your first time or you’re just new to my studio. Here are the straightforward answers to some of the most common questions I get. If yours isn’t on the list, just ask.

What areas can be waxed for men?

Basically, if hair grows there, I can wax it. The most common services cover the back, chest, shoulders, arms, and legs. And yes, I specialize in intimate waxing—the Brazilian is one of my most requested services. Every session is tailored to you, so we can customize it to your exact grooming goals.

Is waxing painful?

I’m not going to lie to you: it doesn’t feel like a massage. But is the discomfort manageable? Absolutely. The sting lasts only for a second. As a specialist, I use professional-grade wax and a technique designed to be as efficient and comfortable as possible. The vast majority of my clients are surprised at how tolerable it is, and it gets significantly easier with each regular session.

How long does my hair need to be?

Think about the length of a grain of rice—that’s the sweet spot (about 1/4 inch). This gives the wax enough to grip for a clean, effective removal. Please don’t trim before your appointment; if any trimming is needed, I will handle it to ensure a perfect result.

How often should I get waxed?

To keep your skin consistently smooth, I recommend scheduling appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. This timing aligns with your natural hair growth cycle. Sticking to a regular schedule means the hair grows back finer over time, and each session becomes even quicker and more comfortable.

Is it appropriate to wax intimate areas?

100%. A men’s Brazilian is all about feeling cleaner, more confident, and more hygienic. It’s a completely standard and professional service that I perform every day. We can discuss your preferences to ensure you get a result you’re completely comfortable with.

What if I get an erection during the service?

First off: don’t sweat it. It happens. It’s a completely involuntary physiological reaction that can be triggered by adrenaline or temperature changes and it means absolutely nothing. I am a licensed professional focused on one thing: removing hair safely and efficiently. It doesn’t phase me in the slightest, and it shouldn’t embarrass you. We simply work around it and continue the service.

Can I get waxed if I have sensitive skin?

Yes. I exclusively use high-quality, professional-grade hard and soft waxes that are formulated for sensitive skin. If you have known allergies or extreme sensitivity, let me know. We can always perform a small patch test to ensure your skin loves the product as much as I do.

What about ingrown hairs?

Not only can you get waxed, but regular waxing (when paired with proper aftercare) is one of the best ways to reduce ingrown hairs over time. If you have any particularly stubborn or irritated ones, just point them out so I can handle the area with extra care.

What do I need to do during the session?

Your only job is to relax as much as possible and communicate if you need anything. I will guide you through the entire process, including any repositioning needed to get the job done perfectly. You’re in expert hands.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. All clients must be 18 years of age or older to receive any waxing or manscaping services. No exceptions.
