Men and Hair Removal
Waxing is just one of many 'male grooming' treatments that are growing in popularity in the US. It used to be that amongst men only athletes and body builders got rid of body hair. Today men from all walks of life are choosing to get rid of unwanted body hair, either for themselves or to please their partner or wife.
- The back should be smooth, the front should not. Nobody likes a hairy back and shoulders, so keep them shaved or waxed smooth. Conversely, the chest should be neatly trimmed. To determine if the chest needs trimming, do the "finger wrap" test. If you can wrap the hair around your finger, it needs to be trimmed.
- Eyebrows should look natural. Keeping the eyebrows neatly trimmed of stray hairs is a good thing. Trust me, walking around looking like you've got two Caterpillars sleeping on your face is not attractive. Are you listening, Andy Rooney? Trim the brows neatly and have your esthetician wax around the edges just to remove the strays, but make sure they don't look sculpted. And another thing -- you should have two eyebrows. If not, run to your esthetician and have them separated.
- Ears should always be hair free. Have your barber or stylist trim them thoroughly for you and keep a good ear and nose hair trimmer at home for touch-ups between visits.
- Leave everything else alone. A little light trimming of the hair on the arms, legs, and other places is fine, just make sure you leave them natural looking. Unless you're a competitive swimmer or cyclist, arms and legs can be left a little hairy. Think of how a woman's legs feel a few days after shaving. Do you want your arms or legs to feel like that? Didn't think so.
