There are no borders at The Body Barber™.
Removing any look of a hair line, we don't send you out looking like a poodle, unless you would prefer that look ?
To create a more 'natural' look, waxed areas are blended to their surrounds where required.

Remedial Massage is a specific massage therapy that is designed to treat both deep and superficial tissues and fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, in the body.
Effleurage, deep strokes, compressions, wringing and skin rolling are Remedial Massage techniques used to decrease muscular tension, reduce pain and mentally relax the body.
Remedial Massage is used to treat muscular problems along side encouraging deep relaxation. Orthopaedic conditions such as back pain, arthritis, neck stiffness, frozen shoulder, sciatica, and general muscular aches and pains respond well to Remedial Massage.
Remedial massage will be beneficial to decrease tension, increase flexibility, reduce pain and improve recovery. It works by physically breaking down hard areas of rigid tissue, called adhesion or 'knots', and relieve pain.
* Decreases the release of the stress hormone, cortisol. Higher levels of cortisol promote emotions of stress, anxiety and depression.
* Increased tissue elasticity.
* Reduce muscle tension, thereby improving the blood supply to an area.
* Improves sleep, massage is a great mental and emotional stress reliever.
* Release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers.
* Improved lymphatic drainage speeding up the body's own healing process..
* Balancing the overall flow of natural life energy through the body (see Reiki)
Always consult your GP before having any form of deep tissue or remedial massage.
With origins dating back to India, China, Japan, Greece and Rome, the word 'therapeutic' comes from the Greek 'therapeutikos' defined as 'of or relating to the treatment or cure of a disorder or disease'. The word 'massage' also comes from the Greek 'masso', meaning 'to knead'.
Massage is not suitable for everyone and may not be appropriate in certain circumstances such as, but not complete:
* Fractures
* Burns or healing wounds, round the area affected
* Deep vein thrombosis
* Contagious or irritable skin conditions
* Viral infections, colds or the flu as massage increases circulation throughout the body and can actually make things worse.

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.

The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life force energy"' and comes from the Japanese words "Rei", meaning universal and "Ki or Chi", referring to life force.
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as energy healing and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner's palms to their patient. It emerged in Japan in the late 1800's and was given the name by Mikao Usui who rediscovered the lost art after studying the 2500-year-old Sanskrit text.
The healing energy of Reiki originates from the universe and does not draw from the energy of the giver. The sensations that can be experienced are warmth, tingling, and deep relaxation and people receiving Reiki can sometimes fall asleep.
