Most Gentlemen’s Shoulder sessions take 20–35 minutes depending on hair density and whether surrounding areas are included. We begin with a brief consultation, prep the skin, then perform waxing and soothing aftercare to minimize irritation and speed healing.

Some discomfort is normal, similar to a quick sting, but our technicians use fast strip techniques and pre-wax care to reduce pain. Numbing creams can be applied on request; sensitivity typically decreases with regular waxing sessions.

Trim long hairs to about 1/4 inch, exfoliate two days before, and avoid heavy lotions or sun exposure 24 hours prior. Arrive clean and wear loose clothing to minimize irritation after the service.

Typically regrowth begins in 3–6 weeks. Frequency depends on individual hair cycles and hormones; many clients schedule sessions every 4–6 weeks for maintenance. Over time, hair often grows back finer and sparser with regular waxing.

Yes — we tailor treatment for sensitive skin with a consultation and optional patch test. We use gentle waxes, lower temps, and calming post-wax serums. Follow aftercare instructions to reduce redness; contact us if prolonged irritation occurs.
