Waxing Q&A: Men's Corner

As a male cyclist I’ve noticed other guys with what look to me like hair-free legs. Are they getting waxed? Why do cyclists wax their legs? Does it make them go faster?

Plenty of men – especially athletes like yourself – get waxed. I don’t know if it actually makes you go faster (not sure if anyone has ever proven that), but I will tell you this: just about every cyclist I know takes a bad spill now and again. Road rash is not pleasant.

You will lose more skin if you have hairy legs because the asphalt has more to grab on to. OUCH! Also, think of pulling off a bandage that has hair attached to it. Doesn’t feel good, does it? (Unless, of course, you see a trained Waxing the City cerologist who knows what she’s doing :) !) If you do have an accident, your road rash will heal faster and have a lesser chance for infection if your legs are free of hair.

Also everyone is doing it! Why not show off those hard-earned, beautifully sculpted legs?!

Thanks!

Waxing Q&A: Men's Corner

I've heard about the mens' Brazilian, but I just have one beginner's question: will the cerologist see my junk?

Yes, gentlemen, the cerologist will see your junk. The mens' Brazilian may not be right for the extremely modest guy. If you do decide on this service, you can be totally at ease: our cerologists are always highly professional. We're experts at respecting your modesty and taking sexual discomfort completely out of the equation. Here are other concerns I hear a lot from new male clients:

• "Will I have to get on my hands and knees?" Absolutely not.

• "What if I get aroused?" This happens sometimes, particularly if you are nervous. Not to worry, though, the sensation will usually subside through the course of the treatment. Our cerologists are used to this happening and will try to make you feel comfortable about it.

The mens' Brazilian can be a sensitive subject, and the best thing you can do is talk to your cerologist about any questions or concerns that you have, during or following your wax. Happy waxing, gentlemen!
