Mantenance

Manscaping, dude-pruning, bromowing, scrotercation, or just pride in ones appearance.

What actually is 'Manscaping' ?

The Urban Dictionary has several definitions of 'manscaping' :

"A fine art form exclusive to men; the continued upkeep of exceptional hygeine and strategic hair removal as they pertain to the male body"

Manscaping

It's becoming a road where the tread is becoming well worn these days, not just by gym junkies and porn star wannabes, we have clients in their 80's who pop in every 5 weeks for their grooming needs.

Taking pride in ones appearance is not just about getting a regular hair cut, it's about what lays under the shirt too, and what sets the men from the boys can also be said for what lays hidden below the belt.

You want to impress your social media fans rather than attract the likes of David Attenborough knocking on your door to make a doco on the forests of your loins.

Even though here at The Body Barber™ we offer waxing or laser hair reduction, some guys just prefer to get a body trim. Masculinity for some people can be represented by their chest hair for example.

Perfect for accomplishing a more natural look, we sit down and listen to your thoughts about what you want and the look you're trying to achieve and then devise a game plan to get you there.

If there's hair, we go there.

As we said, not everyone wants to wax or be smooth .... but you don't have to look like Neanderthal man either.

From your neck to your toes and everything in between, be it a little off the top, more off the sides or buzzed down to a totally smooth surface, if it's a natural sexy look you're after .... we have you covered.

Aesthetics play a huge role in body hair trimming at The Body Barber™, it’s what our business is all about. Using various professional tools of the trade, we will style and sculpt your body hair, giving you that confidence about not only looking, but feeling your best as well.

It may be a little intimidating at first but just think about it, you get your hair cut to present yourself in neat, tidy, professional manner and project to others that you take pride in your appearance. Why then would you not look after the rest of your body … just because you can’t see you back doesn’t mean others don’t. Do you like to see your female partner with arm pit hair ? As we age more body hair grows, it’s completely natural and to be expected, so why then would you not want to maintain it considering that hairy and smelly generally isn’t going to win you any favours on the relationship scene.

At the end of the day guys, nobody wants to be coughing up furballs, and as one of our clients admits, “I know when it’s time to come back and see Zaque as my wife slowly stops paying any attention down there”

Staffed by professional male aestheticians, The Body Barber™ is proactive in promoting and achieving high quality and meticulous body hair grooming that is individually client focused, sensitive to cultural backgrounds, gender identity and with the utmost discretion.

Consultations are free at The Body Barber™

You are about to embark upon something that you may never have thought you would be doing so it's important to speak frankly and openly about your goals and the changes, or outcomes, that you would like to see.

Be an active participant and don't just sit there, slouched and say nothing. Think about what you would like to achieve and ask your questions. Some people focus more on their expectations resulting from what they may have seen in the shower room, or all in those porn clips that somehow popped up on your screen unintentionally, rather than the reality of their own body's aesthetics.

Listening to your needs, determining which of our services are the right options for you and providing guidance in creating the most natural look, is what we do best.

Men's waxing, men's clipping or men's laser Melbourne ... we have your back.

We can't stress enough the importance of having a proper consultation before undergoing laser hair removal treatments. Your consultation will cover the following areas:

* Discussion of the reasoning behind wanting laser hair removal Melbourne.

* Discussion of the laser hair removal treatment options and other options open to you.

Should you decide to go ahead with a patch test

* Discussion of skin typing and a patch test performed.
* Pre and Post Treatment care.
* Obtaining your informed consent if you decide to go ahead with the treatment.
* Whilst the consultation is free, going ahead with a patch test will require a $80 deposit. Any deposit made during a consultation will be refunded at the completion of your first laser procedure.
Wax or Manscape Consultations

Why so many questions when I'm just coming in for a wax for gods sake ?

Getting a wax is not without its own risks. Waxing means truly ripping hairs out by their roots, pulling them out means tearing them out by the root and leaving a tiny wound just under the surface and open to infection. And you still want to ask if waxing is painful ?

Before we start
* We ask that you disclose medications that you currently use or have used in the past 3 - 6 months as we strive to provide not only the best, but also safest service to our clients. i.e. currently using Accutane® or have stopped it less than 6 months ago. Retin-A®, Tazorac®, Differin®, Avage® or other retinoids within 3 weeks or had chemical peels within last 2-3 months.
* What is it that you are wanting to achieve with your choice of treatment.
* That you are aware of, and understand any limitations with your waxing or manscape procedures.
* What products are you using on the area at the moment.

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.
