Men's Body Grooming - Body Sugaring

Being a guy means having body hair - on your chest, on your legs, on and under your arms, on your back and on a few places we'll get to in a minute. There's nothing wrong with the hair; it is, after all, just one more bit of evidence that you are a guy. But today's emphases on fitness, enduring youth, cleanliness and just plain good looks have led more and more guys to consider taking control of their body hair.

You go to the barber or stylist to get the hair on your head looking its best. Why not go to somebody who can help you get the rest of your hair in line? I'm a licensed esthetician and massage therapist, and men's body grooming is one of my specialties. As someone who has spent a lot of effort improving my own body's appearance, I have an appreciation for what it takes to make a body look - and feel - great.

The main goal is to help you look better naked, so you need to be that way for the session (I stay dressed so we can both concentrate on you). You'll have a great, sensual experience and you'll look and feel better. Also, not all of us have perfect bodies, and attentive body grooming can actually take attention away from the areas where you might be concerned about weight gain or disproportion. If you do have a perfect - or nearly perfect - body, the body grooming will emphasize your muscle and skin tone.

What we do in terms of grooming and hair removal is up to you. Some guys like to have their backs and some of their intimate areas (like scrotum and crack) smoothed out. Others like to have the hair on their chests and abdomens shaped a little for a natural, but less unruly look.

And a few like to go totally bare. Whatever your choice, here's how we'll work:

  • Hair removal: For most of the areas you want totally smooth, we'll use a process called body sugaring. The sugar compound is a natural product that goes on at your body temperature, grabs hold of the hair at the root and removes the whole hair-creation mechanism to keep the hair from growing back quickly. The sugar compound is better than wax: it's virtually odorless, doesn't cause as much pain when it's removed and leaves no residue to irritate the skin. The results of body sugaring eventually become permanent (like th e rest of us, hair eventually gives up when you tell it to go away enough times).
    Effective on: back, shoulders, buttocks, midline (crack and hole), perineum. Some clients even prefer to have their scrotums and pubic regions sugared.

  • Hair removal (sensitive areas): For those places that you want smooth, but which seem too sensitive to sugar, we can shave. I have small electric shears, a hot lather machine and plenty of new, high quality disposable razors for this.
    Effective on: Scrotum, penis base and anywhere else you want smooth but don't want sugared.

  • Hair shaping: When you want it to look like it grows on a human instead of an ape, but you still want it growing there, we can shape it. I use my small electric shears to give you a more controlled - but still natural - look. Since the hair in most of these areas grows in circles, it takes a little while to even it out without having it look overly manicured.
    Effective on: Any place you like having body hair but find it's a little out of control.

  • Finishing touches: (I have a sneaking suspicion that some of my body grooming clients come to me just for this). We finish up your session with a short, relaxing massage. Then, any area that we sugared gets some really special attention. First I massage the skin with Dead Sea salts to exfoliate any remaining dead cells and begin soothing your skin. Next, I apply a layer of Hungarian Apothecary Mud, which is known for its healing properties (in much of Eastern Europe you cannot get it without a prescription). Finally, after the mud dries you take a warm shower without soap to soothe your skin and call you gently back.
    Effective on: This feels great all over; if you like it as part of a body grooming session, I invite you to come back for my all-over "Skin Reconditioning 101 " treatment. PRELIMINARY STEP IN SUGARING

When we're done, you're smooth where you want to be, the rest of your body hair is well-groomed and your exposed skin feels soft and soothed. You've had a great man to man sensual experience and you look your best. I've helped you center your energy, feel safe and nurtured. What could be better?

I look forward to working with you and offering you a great sensual experience.
