Shower Facilities
Before
After

We understand that it's not convenient for everyone to go home first to shower prior to coming in to visit us, especially with Melbourne's traffic congestion the way it is.

Shower facilities are available and complimentary here at The Body Barber™ should you like to freshen up before we undertake your service. All we ask is that you to let us know in advance so that we can allow sufficient time before the following client arrives.

All hygiene waxing we ask that you use our facilities prior to your treatment to make sure that you are totally clean. We are manscapists not agriculturalists and have no interest in composting.

Please read the 'Before' and 'After' before requesting a shower prior to, or after your treatment.
Before:

Having a bath or shower, before waxing is fine, the steam from a hot shower will open those follicles encouraging the hairs to be more easily removed, and therefore less painful.

Plus, who doesn't want to be clean and fresh when someone else is going to be very close and personal ?!

Don't use moisturiser or deodorant as this may form a barrier to the wax.
It's perfectly ok to have a shower after a wax, but take a cool or warm shower as your skin is still very sensitive. I recommend waiting at least 6 - 8 hours before having a shower so that you allow your skin to recover.

AVOID hot showers or saunas/steam rooms after you have had a wax as the heat may open your pores further, inviting bacteria into the skin. (see FAQs) Hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and sunbathing are a definite NO after a laser procedure.

The waxed area ought to be kept clean and nourished with post-waxing products to keep the skin smooth and healthy. Always, always, ALWAYS start exfoliating 48 hours after your wax, it'll slough away dead skin and discourage ingrown hairs.
