Men’s waxing is one of the fastest-growing salon services, from back and chest waxing to brows, ears and intimate treatments. Male hair is usually coarser and denser, so the right wax and technique make a real difference to comfort and results.
Protect the skin with Cleanser & Toner, Pre-Waxing Oil and After Wax Oil, and recommend Ingrown Hair Solution for home care. For more advice, read Manscaping 101 and our guide to men’s Brazilian waxing.
Gold Strip Wax has the strongest grip in our strip wax range and is designed with coarse hair in mind, making it ideal for backs, chests, arms and legs. For smaller, sensitive areas, use hot or film wax, which grips the hair rather than the skin.
For the best result, hair should be around 5mm long. Trim longer hair before waxing so the wax can grip evenly and the treatment is more comfortable.
We recommend hot or film wax for intimate areas. They grip the hair rather than the skin, which is more comfortable on sensitive skin and coarse hair. Keep strip wax for larger areas such as the back, chest and legs.
Advise clients to avoid tight clothing, heat and heavy exercise for 24 hours, then exfoliate gently a few days after the treatment. Harley Ingrown Hair Solution can be used at home between appointments to help keep the skin clear.
