MALE WAXING
Smooth Skin, Confidence Restored
At Elegance at Ecclesall, our male waxing treatments are known for being exceptionally thorough yet comfortable. Our experienced therapists understand the specific needs of male skin and hair, delivering precise results with utmost care and professionalism.
We provide a comprehensive range of non-intimate waxing treatments specifically tailored for our male clients, perfect for achieving a clean, defined, and smooth finish, whether for aesthetic preference, hygiene, or athletic reasons.
How it works:
A layer of high-quality warm wax is expertly applied to the targeted area. The wax adheres firmly to the hairs, and upon swift removal, extracts the hair directly from the follicle. Our therapists utilise techniques suited for coarser male hair to ensure effective removal and minimise discomfort.
Removing hair from the root can, over time, weaken the hair follicles. This often leads to regrowth that is finer and less dense than before.
Understanding the hair growth cycle helps optimise your results for longer-lasting smoothness:
Anagen (growth phase): Hair is actively growing and connected to its blood supply. Waxing now removes the entire root for the longest smooth period.
Catagen (transition phase): Growth stops, and the hair shaft begins to separate.
Telogen (resting phase): The old hair rests while a new hair begins to form beneath. Waxing here might mean quicker visible regrowth.
A professional wax by a trained therapist at Elegance ensures the treatment is adapted effectively for different male hair textures and body areas, providing a superior result compared to at-home methods.
Elegance top tips: How to get the best results from your wax
Regular Appointments: Waxing consistently every 4-6 weeks helps synchronise hair growth cycles, meaning more hairs are removed at the optimal Anagen phase, leading to smoother results that last longer.
Optimal Hair Length: Aim for hair to be roughly ¼ to ½ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). Avoid shaving for at least 3-4 weeks prior. This length allows the wax to grip effectively for clean removal from the root.
Exfoliate Gently: Starting a few days after your wax and continuing 2-3 times a week, gently exfoliate the waxed areas. This helps prevent ingrown hairs by removing dead skin cells that can trap emerging hairs.
Post-Wax Care: Avoid hot baths, saunas, swimming, heavy exercise, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours after waxing to allow the skin to calm and reduce potential irritation.
