Most guys know that waxing is the most effective way to remove unwanted body hair, but the idea of unbearable pain might make you decide to stick with the razor. Fortunately, waxing doesn’t have to be a painful nightmare, especially if you find a professional to handle it for you. Below are a few dos and don’ts if you’re considering men’s waxing for the first time.

Do

Exfoliate

Exfoliating the area removes dead skin, prevents ingrown hair, and makes the hair easier to extract. Gently exfoliate the area a day before you get waxed, and repeat at least once a week between sessions for the best results.

Find a professional

The skill and expertise of your men’s waxing technician has a major impact on the effectiveness of the treatment and the level of discomfort you’ll feel. Before choosing a salon, read some reviews online and ask around to make sure you find someone who can make your first time as easy as possible. Mark & M.E. Salons have the most experience in Rochester NY, hands down. 

Don’t

Try it yourself

You can pick up do-it-yourself men’s waxing kits in most drug stores, but you’ll probably wish you hadn’t. The wax is inferior to what you’d find in a salon, and you just don’t have the experience to prevent pain, redness, bumps, and swelling.

Forget to care for your skin

After your first waxing, it’s normal for your skin to get a little irritated and bumpy. Rubbing your freshly waxed skin with our after care cream will help soothe the discomfort, which should go away in a day or two.
