Waxing for Men

Professional athletes have been waxing their body hair for years to achieve better performance and to keep infection down when accidents happen. Now more and more men are discovering the benefits of waxing vs. shaving.

Many men do not like their body hair - or do not like the hair on their back for example - but never felt comfortable doing something about it.

We invite you to give waxing a try - you might be surprised how good your skin feels and how great it looks afterwards.

To ensure your utmost comfort, a topical anesthetic cream is available for purchase.

Some Waxing Facts:

•	You can go much longer between waxes in comparison to shaving.
•	When the hair grows back it is less itchy and the hair does not feel as "stubbly" after waxing, compared to shaving.
•	When shaving, the hair is cut off at its strongest point - like the trunk of a tree - that's why the after growth is immediate and stubbly to the touch.
•	When waxing, the hair is pulled out by the root and grows back in with a soft tip - just like a newly growing blade of grass - you do not have an immediate after growth and the in-growing hair is softer to the touch.
•	Hair grows in 3 different cycles: the hair that is out, the hair that is about to come out and the hair that is forming in the follicle - regular waxing will eventually get all the hair on the same growing cycle - which means you can go longer periods between waxes.

A friendly Waxing Reminder

•	Do not wax if you are using Retin A or taking Accutane.
•	Do not wax after full sun exposure or tanning bed.
•	Do not wax if you had a professional peel in the last two days.
•	To avoid hyper-pigmentation, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure after waxing for at least two days. Always wear an SPF of 15 or higher.

I have been going to Corinna for 2 years for hair waxing and have always been extremely happy with her service and the gentle touch she uses in a procedure that can otherwise be very uncomfortable. As a triathlete I need to keep my legs clean because it reduces the risk of infection should I suffer a fall and my legs are much more comfortable on long runs without any hair. At first it was embarrassing to go through a waxing procedure, but Corinna's discreteness and easy-going manner quickly dispelled any nervousness I had. Any man who is new to hair removal by waxing would be well-served by going to Corinna; you won't have to go anywhere else.
