Body Hair...
Waxing Lyrical
Happy New Year to all my firefighting friends. Wishing you a healthy,
safe and handsome 2016. One of the topics which I am most often get
asked about is how remove body hair. In particular areas such as chest,
back, pubic and bottom hair. These days guys are more self-conscious
than ever about their physiques, generally going to the gym more and
showing their bodies off!
My friend Katie Hill owns Totality beauty spa in Tring, Hertfordshire and she tells me that she’s been a huge increase
in the number of guys coming in for waxing over the past five years. Male waxing now constitutes around 40% of
her business! Years ago guys were hesitant or embarrassed about going to a beauty salon but these days they
seem to be running through the door! Especially the 18-30 age group. Perhaps the ever growing selfie trend is partly
the cause as more and more guys are posting photos of themselves shirtless (and otherwise!!) on social media. So if
you’re curious about the ins and outs of waxing but have never given it a go then read on!

body hair.
Did you know
A recent survey conducted by FHM
discovered that 64% of male readers
manscaped regularly!
When we see a parade of hairless,
smooth-chested fashion models,
sports (and porn!) stars and
celebrities we can often feel selfconscious about the hair on our
own bodies. Do not fear you are
not alone! Most men have a certain
amount of body hair so what’s the
best way to deal with it? If you’re
spending time at the gym then
finding effective ways to trim away
excess or unwanted hair can reveal
those hard worked-for muscles! Most
women prefer ‘men to be men’ but
too much body hair can also be a
real turn off.
In this article we will look at a couple
of methods of tackling your body
hair. There are various options
depending on the amount of hair
you have, its location as well as time
and budget considerations.
A great way to reduce the amount
of body hair you have is to trim.
