The bear look not for you? Here’s The Soho Salon’s guide to a hair-free life…
What’s a Boyzilian or Manzilian?
Commonly referred to as “Buttocks Sack & Crack”, or Male Full Brazilian Wax. It’s the tidyng, shaping and removal of the hair from the man’s genital area, with either traditional wax or sugaring hair removal method. This new improved look, it is more hygienic.
Does it hurt?
A bit, but the pain does fade within seconds and subsequent sessions hurt less than the first session. Regular visits minimise the pain as hair grows weaker or stops growing.
Shaving stimulates potential hair growth and can strengthen the hair follicle. Shaving also cuts the hair at the hair shaft, which not only re-grows with a stubbly, itchy and uncomfortable feel, but the hair returns within a day or so.
How is the Boyzilan done?
After the consultation with the therapist the whole area is cleansed and disinfected. The long hair is clipped and trimmed if necessary, and then wax is applied in sections. The wax used is alternated between a warm wax (strip) and a no-strip wax (thicker). The same applies with our sugaring method. Once the waxing is completed, an after cooling solution is applied.
How long will it last?
Hair growth rate is very individual; it will last for two weeks for a clean look.
What if I only want my bum, or other parts, waxed?
No problem. We offer partial treatments, all within your comfort.
Are there any side effects?
Although we cannot predict or guarantee who may react, most clients do not experience reactions beyond redness and minor irritation. Hair may break at the root during waxing, causing some hairs to grow out faster. Please follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and red spots:
Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and please wear sun screen; recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.
Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after waxing.
Do not use exfoliating products or scrubs for at least 24 hours after waxing as they might further irritate your skin.
Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation.
Hot baths, hot showers, swimming or steam rooms are not recommended within 12 hours after waxing. While your pores are open, they are vulnerable to irritation by the extreme temperatures and infection by bacteria.
