Male brazilian waxing can be done navel to anus, or anus to navel. Also known as sack and crack, full brazilian, full monty, sphinx, playboy, french bikini, full bikini, etc.
Don't be intimidated by these strange sounding names above. Ignore them all.
Just explain to the cosmetologist exactly which results you want.
It is her job to see that you walk out of the salon a happy man.
WARNING!!
There are a few photographs lower down on this page that illustrate male brazilian waxing.
It might be offensive to sensitive viewers, although they have been blurred. If you are easily shocked, please leave this page immediately!
Will the treatment be painful?Of course! But first, let me say I applaud you and congratulate you on your decision to have a male brazilian wax. It really is a huge decision.
I am well aware that all males look upon their genitals as their "bestest, bestest, bestest friend" in the whole wide world.
Men therefore have to overcome a huge mental barrier, because pain will be inflicted, by him, on his beloved friend! Am I right, or am I right?
One of my waxing clients (I'll call him Eric) gratiously allowed me to take photographs of his brazilian waxing treatment.
This particular treatment was started at the navel and worked towards the bottom.
I understand and appreciate that you are feeling quite apprehensive.
You have no idea what to expect during your first time brazilian wax. I know you are feeling really scared.
The main thing is to relax, because that will undoubtedly lessen the pain.
Take a sedative an hour in advance if you have to. No one, but you, will know about it.
But first you should do certain things before arriving for your waxing appointment.
Preparation for waxing treatmentStop shaving about two weeks before your brazilian hair removal appointment. The hair must be at least 5mm in length for the wax to adhere well. If the hair is too long, the technician will shorten it with a scissor or clipper.
Be considerate and take a bath or shower just before your genital hair removal appoinment. You want to be ultra clean in the anus area especially.
Don't apply any body lotion after your shower. But on the other hand, very few men do, so it is no problem. Bottom line is, the skin must be free from any oils.
Wear loose fitting (or no) underwear and trousers that won't irritate the newly waxed skin.
Boxer shorts is a good underwear choice for a couple of days.
Preferably go without any underwear for a day or two. I know you will simply love it.
Inform yourself about what to expect during the hot wax hair removal treatment. That will help you to relax your muscles, which will ensure the best waxing results.
Male brazilian waxing sequence
Client information form at beauty salon
Upon arrival at the salon, you might be given a client information form to fill in. Don't panic, it's for their own records. Nothing personal, just the usual name and address stuff. Your cosmetologist will collect you from the reception area.
Get rid of all your clothes
You will be taken to a well lit treatment/waxing room. You will be asked to get undressed. No, you won't keep your underwear on. No problem. All men adore it to run around naked.
Lie on treatment bed
You must climb onto the treatment bed and sit-lie on your back. Some salons prefer to cover the treatment bed with paper, while others prefer a plastic sheet. Both of these feel strange under the naked buttocks.
Consultation before treatment
Then comes the time for the consultation. The waxing technician will ask what your preference is and how much hair she must take off from where. Forget about the fancy names, just describe what you want. If the hair is too long she will trim it shorter with a scissor or clipper. Now is the right time to discuss any pubic hair designs (heart, diamond, etc) you have in mind.
Pre-wax skin cleaning
The whole area that will be waxed must be cleaned to get rid of any sweat, oil and potentially dangerous bacteria that can lead to nasty skin infections.
Absorbing baby powder
A very light dusting of talcum powder, baby powder or cornstarch will be applied to the whole pubic area. This is to absorb any moisture or oil that might still be on the skin. It is also to lift the hair from the skin. This is also a way for the technician to see at a glance where she still has to wax.
Hair waxing treatment
Now the actual waxing of the unwanted pubic hair takes place. Read more about the different techniques used for brazilian waxing.
Tweezing stray hair
After the wax all stray hair, that didn't come out during the waxing, might be removed with a tweezer. You might be given a hand held mirror to check if everything is as you want it. If not, tell her so it can be corrected.
After-waxing skin cleaning
When you are satisfied, the waxed area will be cleaned of wax residue with something oily. The skin will also be treated with some or other soothing lotion to lessen irritation and swelling.
After waxing care tips
The cosmetologist will explain the after waxing care tips to you. It would be wise to follow it, or you will suffer with ingrown hair afterwards.
Exfoliate and moisturise
Start to gently exfoliate after two days with any of several methods available to you. Consider reading about dry skin brushing and also what causes ingrown hair.
Male brazilian waxing techniques
The cosmetologist might start at the navel and work downwards towards the bottom.
The pictures on this page clearly demonstrate this technique.
Another method is to start at the bottom and work your way upwards towards the navel.
This waxing technique is described in detail on the brazilian waxing technique page.
You'll find links lower on the page to other related pages.
There really is no big difference between these two male brazilian waxing techniques. The waxing technician will decide which method she'll use.
I have shortly explained the steps that salons should be taking during a male brazilian waxing appointment. Do not attempt a DIY waxing treatment at home after reading just this page.
This information is not enough to attempt self waxing. Waxers and cosmetologists undergo years of training in order to perform the different pubic waxes as painlessly as possible.
Please share your unique pubic waxing experience with all of us by writing your own story. I'll publish it on this website. Please keep it tasteful and without vulgarities.
