Waxing for Men. New at Nailsmith & Johnson.

Before

Do not moisturise within 24 hours of your planned wax. Make sure not to shave for at least 3 weeks prior to your appointment as the hairs need to be at least 5mm for the wax to stick.

Does it hurt?

Is the Pope Catholic? Of course it hurts! But the most important thing to take away here is that it won’t hurt as much as you think it will. Just remember, it’s not as scary as it looks and doesn’t hurt half as much as you think (if you’re thinking 11 on a scale of 1-10). 

Afterwards

It really depends on your skin. Your skin might get red and itchy for a few days, especially if it is your first time. That is normal and quite common. However, it will get better with each time and it’s gonna last much longer than you think. Eventually, the hair will grow back, but you should remain smooth for about three weeks (though everyone is slightly different). The regrowth should be softer and less coarse than if you were to shave, and the more often you wax the longer the results will last.

We do sell vouchers. Our waxing vouchers are currently available in our store. Soon, we will make them available online, too.
