Information on Eyebrow Waxing in Man

Waxing involves spreading hot wax over the area targeted for hair removal, placing a strip of cloth over the wax, rubbing vigorously and then ripping the cloth - along with the wax and the hair - in one smooth stroke.

This technique removes the hair and hair root, and is generally considered to be longer lasting than plucking (the roots take several weeks to re-establish themselves). While this is painful, the method takes only seconds and the sting disappears quickly.

First-time home waxers have been known to hurt themselves or wax off more hair than they intended, with unattractive results. Waxing lasts a few weeks and then you will need to go back for another session.

As with plucking, most aestheticians and cosmetologists who service women also accept male clients.
