Boy-zilian, Anyone? Men's Beauty Enters The 21st Century With Male Waxing
Boys, boys, boys. We could have told you years ago that you’d give in to waxing. It’s time for male beautifying to enter the mainstream, and Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fàbregas has set the ball rolling (so to speak) by happily admitting to laser hair removal. It’s quick, it’s easy, it lasts for up to 8 weeks, and the results can be life-changing. It’s time to let go of preconceptions and embrace what could be a liberating new lifestyle.
It’s not all about the back, sac, and crack. The connotations surrounding not just this waxing behemoth but all forms of male hair removal are pain, vanity, and humiliation at the hands of a female beauty therapist. Who in their right mind would want that much intrusion for the sake of a few hairs? You may be surprised to find that the answer is not just male models. From footballers to Hollywood actors, men across the globe are partaking in male waxing – and they’re loving it.
Lots of men feel insecure about their body hair. Does the idea of a beach holiday send shivers down your (rather hairy) spine? Do you dread removing your shirt after a sweaty football match? Perhaps your partner has suggested that he or she prefers a little less hair ‘down below’. Whatever your situation, hair removal could make your life a lot easier, and make you as body-confident as you should be. And you can bet on it: it’s not as painful as you’re imagining it to be.
These days, there’s nothing stopping you from biting the bullet and booking an appointment with a professional. There’s a fully trained beauty therapist near you who has performed hundreds of waxes in their lives; they won’t bat an eyelash at another man turning up to get waxed. Plus, if there’s one thing you can say for beauticians, it’s that they’re passionate about their job: they love the satisfaction of removing excessive hair, achieving soft, smooth skin and a happy client. Hot wax has been developed to make the process as pain-free as possible, and the brilliant, long-lasting result is well worth any discomfort you may experience.
