Dare to Bare: Incorporating Male Waxing in the Spa
by Taylor Wilson, L.E.
As licensed aestheticians, we have witnessed firsthand the rise in popularity of male waxing over recent years. Therefore, it is essential to be knowledgeable and skilled in this area as demand increases. Adding male-focused waxing can boost your revenue but also set you apart from other waxers in your area.
GET READY, GET SET
Any successful waxing experience begins with thorough preparation. During the client consultation, take the time to understand their expectations, concerns, and skin goals. Conduct a comprehensive skin assessment to identify any potential contraindications, such as skin conditions, allergies, or medications, that may affect the waxing process. Educating clients about what you are doing step-by-step and about aftercare is fundamental in managing their expectations about the waxing process and post-wax results. Some male clients just aren’t educated in skin care, ingredients, and the waxing process in general, so making them comfortable throughout the process with education goes a long way.
