Male waxing
Return to DiscussionsOk.... I have been curious on waxing versus shaving for awhile. Do guys have to go to special people than girls to get a wax job? Are there any particular questions I should ask when calling around to find a place to go? Does anyone recommend anywhere close to the Baton Rouge area for this? I am tired of shaving and the ingrown hairs....

I will start calling around.... I am tired of shaving and basically have let myself run wild this last month. I am wanting to get everything under control and only deal with it ever couple months or as needed versus a couple times a week....
I've tried waxing. I found a salon that advertised male waxing online and booked in. The young woman I saw was very proffesional and put me at ease. As a naturist I'm used to being undressed in the company of others but the focus on my nether regions was a bit uncomfortable at first. Apparently they have quite a few male clients. It was certainly nothing new to her.
I must say I was disappointed that after about a week to a week and a half I had more hair regrowth than I was happy with, but insufficient to get waxed again (and in any case at that frequency it would bankrupt me). I tried to wait it out but resorted to shaving again. What I did find was that the regrowth was much finer and sparser making shaving much easier.
I'm thinking that I'll go back every so often when the hair starts to grow back thicker again and I can put up with allowing some regrowth between shaving and waxing.
I found a place in Kenner, LA. My experience is look.for a salon or esthetician that does male Brazilians. These will do any/all male waxing services. It costs $200-250 plus tip for full body; $75-100 Brazilian; depending upon the special of the month. Additional charge for hairy beasts.
I don't get waxed as often as I'd like to, due both to cost and being unable to always have an appointment at convenient times. When I do get waxed though it always feels and looks great for similar lengths of times to others here, maybe 2 weeks maximum. If we're going on a nudist holiday or staying at a club I try to get waxed just beforehand, I like not needing to shave regularly when there to stay smooth.
I've never had any problems with the actual process, its always been a woman who has waxed me and its been done very professionally, they're used to their clients being naked and dealing with all body areas. As a nudist being naked in a professional environment simply hasn't been an issue, they expect me to be nude and its how I'm most comfortable and relaxed.
working on the self mastery of something called sugar wax. there are hundreds of youtube videos on how to make it and how to use it. imve had to let my hair grow out a bit to try it. my first time wasnt a complete success, but it was by no means a failure. i went into it knowing that this was probably not something i was going to get entirely right on the first try. attempt number one was very encouraging. got about half the pubic hair, all the gluteal hair and none of the arm pit or neck hair. i dont think it was really grown out enough for a proper waxing. if many of you have already gone for a waxing you should have little problem with this. you already know how it feels, youve seen the process and can learn on yourself. also if anything goes wrong or the pain is too great you can simply jump in the shower and wash it off. i would say the expirience is less painfull for the few minutes of hair ripping than the days or weeks fighting ingrown hairs, which is a problem for me. i suggest watching no less than a dozen videos on body waxing and three videos on sugar waxing. there is some technique that must be learned through practice and repitition. either way, imm comverting to self waxing via sugar wax. its easy, the pain is at acceptable levels and its cheap so i can do it whenever i feel i need it. most of my body hair came off for about the cost of a dollar and a few hours of bravery. i encourage others to try it, let me know how it goes for you. remember if at first you dont succeed, maybe review your facts and try again
I hadmy firstfull body wax last Monday - 5 days ago. I can understand that waxing a man can be quite different from a woman. He has more body hair, especially on the chest and the intimate area can be more complicated. I found a woman that does it locally. Of course I had to be completely naked. Something she is used to as a professional waxer and I am used to as a nudist. She handled me and my parts very professionally and the process took 2hrs 30min. It is possible that some of my hair was not long enough for the wax to get a hold but she removed 99%, including every detail. I had previously tried hair removal with an epilator. It was just too painful and the waxing was less so. But I have now found I could remove the remaining 1% of hairs with the epilator in reasonable comfort. I plan to maintain my smooth appearance with the epilator instead of the razors I had used previously. If the hair regrows I'll go for another waxing.
I think she won't allow photos of the process. I went for my second waxing just a week ago, leaving six weeks between treatments. The down side is that hairs have to grow long enough for the wax to take hold. But the hairs are more sparse and thinner. So I was quite presentable 4 weeks after a waxing - as can be seen here:
I've already booked in for the next one on Oct 20, giving a 5 week gap.
