Male Brazilian Wax Seattle? The 199 New Answer

What are people saying about growing the male body in Seattle, WA?

This is a review for Male Body Waxing in Seattle, WA:

“When I first visited Seattle from the East Coast, Waxing The City was recommended. Little did I know it was almost a 30 minute drive from where I was. I rescheduled my appointment and was 15 minutes late. They kindly worked me in. I arrived which I was so happy about. Customer service is outstanding. The products used are of very high quality. The best Brazilian I’ve ever had. Undoubtedly a great place to go for your waxing services. Kudos to Morgan for working fast on me and doing such a great job!”

Being a cosmetologist was an excellent source of income when I was in college.

But no one tells you when you sign up for the job that it’s not all about great-smelling potions and free botox. They’re tails. Literal tails. Many of them. When I added up how many lower regions I’d seen by the end of my aesthetic stint, it turned out they could fill a Super Bowl stadium.

And I learned a lot about men. If you’re considering hair removal — or are just pathologically curious — here are 10 things I can tell you about it.

It’s true. Men’s pain tolerance is lower than that of women. Much less. I’ve seen men writhing in pain and screaming loudly at the same thing that a woman won’t whip with a whip. It will hurt. Expect that. Try not to be such a little bitch. You could get an erection. It happens to many men. That doesn’t mean you’re a pervert, it means an attractive (or so I like to think of it) woman handles your trash. It will embarrass you more than me. And I assure you that once it begins to grow, it will go away. It is totally inappropriate to talk about anything sexual or relational during the process. You might think that goes without saying, but somehow it’s not. It’s also not okay to try to eat an ice cream cone while being waxed. I’ll take it away from you and throw it in the trash. It can wait. It will be blood. But only a little. Yes, it will look bigger afterwards. Yes, I have a boyfriend. No, I don’t think women find that more attractive. I don’t know what kind of women you date. But whatever, you should do it because you’re into it. Absolutely no one should ever tell anyone what to do with their damn hair down there. It’s personal. All types of men are waxed. Big, small, young, old, married, straight, gay and everything in between. You can and should wax your balls and butt too. It’s not embarrassing and actually less painful than the rest of the job. And if you’re wondering how to wax balls, spread them out, much like a bat’s wing. If there’s one person you want to be nice to that day, it’s that very polite person who puts hot wax on your scrotum. I didn’t have the power to make it any less painful, but I did have the power to make it very, very quickly. So don’t be an asshole.

There’s a common misconception that waxing is only for women — but that’s far from the truth. In fact, men can reap the same health benefits from regular Brazilian waxes as women. Similarly, lately, the waxed look is becoming more and more popular among men as well. For these reasons, it is becoming increasingly popular for men to switch from shaving to waxing as their preferred method of hair removal!

There are a number of benefits of waxing for men that you may not be aware of. If you’re a man curious about the possibilities of men’s waxing to get rid of unwanted body hair, read on – we’ve got the top three reasons to ditch the razor.

1. Health Benefits of Brazilian Waxing for Men

A major advantage of waxing instead of shaving is the health benefits. Waxing is essentially an exfoliation of the skin, which in turn aids in collagen production. Collagen production is believed to slow down the aging process and promote skin regeneration, giving your skin a healthier and more youthful glow. If you’re concerned about fine lines and age spots, switching to waxing as a hair removal method can have a side benefit by improving your skin.

In addition, waxing technicians remove hair directly from the root, as opposed to shaving (which removes hair from the skin’s surface). This helps reduce the risk of painful ingrown hairs that are common with shaving. Aside from being painful and irritating, sometimes ingrown hairs can even become infected and require minor surgery. There is a risk of infection with shaving – every time you shave you leave dozens of micro tears on your skin – no matter how careful you are or how clean your razor is. If you have particularly sensitive skin, regular shaving can make it worse. Ingrown hairs can occur anywhere on the body that you shave, but since the skin in the bikini/genital area tends to be very sensitive, ingrown hairs can be more common there. This can also lead to redness and unsightly bumps.

2. Cost of Brazilian waxing for men

Although the health benefits might be your main reason for making the switch, there’s another benefit of waxing you might not know: saving money. Given the frequency with which men need to shave, and how often razors need to be replaced to ensure they are still effective (due to the coarseness of male hair), this can become an expensive routine. A major benefit of waxing is that it can also slow down hair growth. Instead of having to shave every other day, waxing can slow hair growth by up to 30 days, giving you more time to focus on things other than your hair removal routine.

Additionally, you can say goodbye to some of the more annoying aspects of razor burn and the time you have to spend maintaining your hair growth. When you also factor in the cost of other shaving supplies (e.g. shaving cream) it might be a better idea to say goodbye to shaving and switch to waxing.

3. Comfort and style for men who are growing

Our male customers tell us there’s a key reason they prefer waxing to shaving – a waxing procedure leaves skin much smoother and cleaner than shaving. One annoying aspect of shaving is the tiny red bumps it leaves behind — even when done with precision, they can be difficult to avoid. You may feel a little sensitive after waxing, but overall waxing reduces skin inflammation and makes it look much healthier and more youthful. In addition, the Brazilian male wax leaves your skin smooth and the hair that grows back will be much less thick.

Additionally, it can be nice to have a professional who knows great ways to style and shape your hair. Whether it’s the chest, pubic hair, abdomen or any other sensitive area that needs waxing, our waxing specialists have decades of experience and can style your hair the way you want it. Also, don’t think of waxing as painful hot wax poured on your body – our specialists make it as painless as possible. Take time for yourself and do something good for your skin.

Preparing for your first Brazilian wax for men

Your first Male Brazilian Wax treatment can seem daunting.

That’s totally understandable. Nine times out of ten, a beginner only arrives at a Brazilian wax after thinking about it for months or even years. If this sounds like you, don’t panic. Countless thousands of men have experienced the exact same inner turmoil.

Assuming you choose an experienced Brazilian male waxing therapist – note I’ve stated “male Brazilians” – your treatment should not be a major endurance effort.

Does a Brazilian wax hurt? Secure. We pull hair out of your body. Does it have to be excessively painful? No, definitely not. Some men say their first Brazilian wax wasn’t nearly as bad as they expected, while others carry on like you’re about to pull a tooth.

But there’s a pattern to the different reactions, and here are the secrets to preparing for the first Brazilian wax for men.

Physical preparation for your first Brazilian waxing for men

Do not trim your hair or shave your genital area for at least three weeks before coming to your Male Brazilian waxing appointment. We want the hair to be long enough for the wax to grab so we only have to treat each area once or at most twice. If you shave or cut the hair too short, we will have to redo the area several times at the end, or in some cases pluck the leftovers. So come in au naturel. If you need trimming, your therapist will take care of it on the table.

Moisten on the morning of your treatment. Dry or cracked skin makes the treatment much more uncomfortable as dry skin tries to absorb moisture from every source, including the wax.

Mentally preparing for your first Male Brazilian Wax

Some of the advice out there is so wrong it’s scary. Let’s deal with the bad advice first.

Take painkillers or drink a glass of alcohol before the treatment. WRONG WRONG WRONG. If you have to take painkillers or are wasting then you are not in the mood to have a Brazilian waxing treatment. Even if you take something – especially if you take something – it will hurt. Why? Because you are trying to create a false state of mind. They try to fool themselves into thinking that painkillers will completely eliminate the pain. And if you don’t, you freak out completely. We could pluck a single hair and you would scream. If you think you need painkillers for a brazilian wax, then don’t get one.

Do it ten minutes before you come in, which interests us. Endorphins are great, as is desensitized skin.

Okay, now for the good advice. Pay attention.

Do not stress yourself. Whatever it takes, calm down. Take control before you arrive by simply telling yourself, “Okay, I can do this. It won’t tickle, but it won’t hurt too much if I stay calm.” Trust me, the result will definitely be worth it. Whenever I’m doing a Male Brazilian Wax for the first time and I see them getting a little frantic, I tell them to find a happy place and generally that’s enough to help them calm down.

Don’t surf the internet for horror stories. If you search for people’s stories about Brazilian waxing tragedies, you will find many. After all, there are a lot of really bad therapists out there, and most of them don’t want to do male treatments, so they don’t care if you come back.

Don’t tell your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend that you are getting a Brazilian wax – especially if they are being waxed themselves. You won’t get any support. The best you can hope for is a wicked laugh and “Now you know what I have to endure.” Others will even want to come into the treatment room to maximize their enjoyment of your discomfort. Unfortunately, even the most loving partner can turn into a banshee from hell when you need her most. However, if you do it surprisingly, you will find them entirely on your side.

With the crazy salon lingo, deciding on a hair removal technique down there can seem like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle. Bikini, French, and Brazilian wax may seem like different names for essentially the same thing — waxing the pubic area — but guess what, they’re all different. We know this can be very confusing, which is why we’re here to help. Below is a detailed guide to all the different types of bikini wax so you know exactly what you need next time you visit the salon…

bikini wax

The most common form of waxing, a bikini wax, is ideal for beginners. It’s also perfect for someone who wants to wear hot shorts or a bikini (summer vacation vibes, you know?). This form of waxing consists of waxing the bikini area and includes the sides of your legs/thighs, your panties and below the navel. A bikini wax forms a neat inverted hair triangle that complements the panty line of your bikini perfectly.

Note: A bikini wax is primarily intended for beginners and will not remove a lot of hair. This type of waxing is only meant to be the first step to more painful waxing. It’s great for quick cleanups and doesn’t require you to remove your panties. So for those who aren’t comfortable being naked in the presence of a stranger, a bikini wax is for you!

when to do

If you are a beginner and looking for a basic cleansing of the bikini line, this type of waxing is ideal. You do not have to take off your underwear for this type of waxing.

French wax

Like bikini wax, French wax doesn’t remove all hair; it leaves a little behind. While most of your hair is removed, some of the front and back remains. This type of waxing leaves your pubic area feeling extremely clean. It includes the benefits of a Brazilian wax except in the butt area.

when to do

French wax is great for beginners as it gives a clean feel without all the aches and pains. You have to remove most of your underwear.

Brazilian wax

Although very popular, Brazilian is the most painful. Because when you choose Brazilian wax, you’re asking for your entire pubic area to be cleaned bare. Ideal for someone who wants to get a complete clean down there, this form of waxing might prove a bit awkward considering it may ask you to spread your legs or bend over so the technician can do a better job.

when to do

If you want to get rid of all that hair down there then this is the choice for you. It will completely remove any hair and will be a painful session. This type of waxing requires you to remove your underwear.

Growing tips

Before heading to the salon for a Brazilian, French or bikini wax, it’s important to follow a few tips to ensure the session delivers good results.

– Be clean

By clean, we don’t mean removing the hair yourself, but definitely showering before the appointment. Wash your bikini area thoroughly with warm water and soap. Apply cleaning wipes for a quick clean before the session begins.

– Prepare your skin

Exfoliate your skin on the day of your appointment to ensure your wax is evenly applied. It also allows the hair to be uprooted with ease.

– Get ready for the pain

Waxing is painful and can be a good reason for anyone to cancel their appointment. But here are a few tips to help ease the pain. Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine a few days before the appointment to make the pain more bearable. Taking a pain reliever 45 minutes before the appointment also helps.

– Avoid five days before and after your period

Your skin is particularly sensitive when you have your period and just before it starts. It is best to avoid making an appointment during this time.

– Exfoliate your skin

Exfoliating your skin removes the layer of dead skin cells underneath the hair, thoroughly cleaning the area and facilitating the process of hair uprooting.

– Choose your wax

When it comes to waxing, one size might seem appropriate, but there are a few different types of wax that produce varying results. Hard wax is usually used for the bikini zone.

How to make bikini wax at home

It’s best to have a bikini wax done by a professional because, we have to admit, it’s a hard-to-reach area and it can be quite difficult to do yourself. But if you’re concerned about a stranger doing it for you, here’s how to make a bikini wax at home.

– First, make yourself comfortable, pour yourself a glass of wine and put on some music before you begin.

– Growing can get pretty messy, especially down there, so do it in small increments. Fear of pain can force you to apply the wax all at once and rip it off, but that’s not how bikini waxing works.

– Start at the pubic bone, since it’s easier to reach and flatter, you can lightly cover that section first.

– Keep moving and waxing the area between thigh and crease, one side at a time.

– Go smaller section by section, keep moving until you have covered the entire area as desired.

frequently asked Questions

1) Should I cut my hair before a bikini wax?

No, even if you feel like your hair is long or embarrassed to show it to a stranger, understand that trimming it can make it short. Growing short hair is tricky and difficult, it may even prevent you from getting the results you want.

2) How do I prepare for my first bikini wax?

It’s important to prepare yourself mentally and physically before heading out for your first bikini wax. You should know that if your threshold is low, it will be a bit painful. Enter a pain reliever 45 minutes before the appointment. Don’t forget to shower and clean the area well before going to the salon.

3) Does a Brazilian wax contain butt cracks?

Brazilian wax removes all hair in and around the pubic area, front to back. It covers the inside of the butt as well as the crevice on the butt.
