We do a lot of things at Reef but
without a doubt, Men's Waxing is at the centre of it all.
In fact, we do so much Male Waxing, that we buy wax by the
tonne.
That's not a boast, but some serious comfort for guys who are
considering a first time wax and don't know who
to trust.
We unashamedly specialise in Male Waxing and
have been doing it in Queensland longer than any other
established salon. Throughout the beauty industry, we are regarded as
THE pioneers and
specialists.
Our clients are from all walks of life and all ages.
Everyone is welcome, and we believe that the male body should be
celebrated in all its forms.
So that's the sales pitch. I hope you liked it
:)
Below you'll find all our services, prices, tips, plus answers
to every question under the sun.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or to
make a booking.

Have a brilliant day,

Men get waxed for many reasons. The most common are to
satisfy their own sense of self-image or to please a
partner.
Waxing
also enhances sensory pleasure during intimacy, hence the
popularity of Brazilian Waxing.
Male Waxing is not new - It simply spent a
century or two out of the limelight.
The removal of body hair was mainstream in
Ancient Egypt and Rome, during the Elizabethan era and the
Renaissance, and in nineteenth century Europe.
During the last 10 years particularly, its time
has come again, and men from all walks of life, of all ages,
races, and sexuality, are now waxing devotees.
Men's Waxing can be performed on any part of the body
from toes to face.

- Wear loose fitting clothing to your treatment.
If you are receiving a Brazilian Wax, ensure that you wear
undies made of cotton so the skin can breathe, or alternatively,
wear none. Don't wear silks or satins until the skin has
calmed.
- Use a proper after-wax lotion for at least a
day after the treatment, and again when regrowth begins to
appear. A bottle of Melaleuca costs about $10 and will
last several treatments. Extra tip: It's a great
aftershave too.
- After a wax, avoid chlorine pools, saunas, the
gym, and hot tubs until your skin has calmed down, to minimise
the risk of inflammation. Sweating will increase the
recovery time. If you live near a beach, a swim in salt
water is great.
-
Avoid colognes and antiperspirants until the skin has calmed
down.
- You can also make a saline wash using
half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water, and pad it
over the area.
- Do not exfoliate the waxed area until it has
calmed down completely. Your skin may return to normal
quickly or it could take 48-72 hours.
- As regrowth comes through at about the 3 week
mark, gently exfoliate each day then follow with Melaleuca
After Wax Milk (it's a fantastic aftershave too). It's
very affordable - about $10 a bottle and lasts several
treatments.
- Waxing Treatments should be spaced 4 to 6
weeks apart. Your hair should be at least 5mm long for the
wax to grip it.

Mens Waxing Questions & Answers
|
No. Over time, waxing may have a general thinning effect but if you stop waxing, it will return to its previous state.
If you're interested in trying
permanent reduction, take a look at our IPL Hair Removal and PTF Hair Removal pages.
Around 70% of our waxing clients are male, and the most common areas are backs, chests, bums, legs,
and Brazilians.
In 2009, Reef Beauty stores used just under 3 tonnes of wax on men.
To date, our youngest male waxing client is an 11 year old
cycling star, and our oldest an 87 year old great-grandfather who wanted to surprise his wife for their 60th anniversary.
The range and reasons are diverse, and chances are, our
clients are not so different to you.
Guys usually get waxed to satisfy their sense of self-image, or because their partners prefer the smooth look. Waxing can also be cultural, attaching itself
to certain professions, and not the ones you'd expect.
Around half of Reef Beauty's waxing clients are people in the public eye - teachers, policemen, doctors, and lawyers.
You can't get more mainstream than that.
To save replication here, the link below from my anatomy site lists the contraindications and reasons why you
may not be suitable for treatment. The page will open in a new window/tab.
Andrew's Place | Waxing Contraindications
As a general guide, the feeling is like being slapped with a plastic ruler and fades quickly.
Follow up treatments are gentler than the first, as the hair doesn't
have time to fully develop.
As a general rule of thumb, the most tender areas on a guy are the chest, sides, arms, and feet.
Further down the list are the perineum and the base of the penis shaft.
Despite popular myth, the least tender area is definitely the bum crack. The bum cheeks, back and scrotum aren't too bad either.
It's a big subject but briefly, it means waxing of hair from the genital region.
Yes, dramatically. The difference is amazing.
Don't stress.
A degree of arousal is common when someone is working in the genital area, be it a doctor, a nurse, or a waxing therapist.
It has
little to do with true arousal and more to do with adrenaline. In any case, once the waxing treatment begins, the sensation quickly passes.
The only thing you need to focus on is feeling comfortable with yourself, and that includes not beating yourself up over a reaction that's perfectly natural.
For safety reasons, girls must wear a disposable g-string, while guys cannot.
We realise that this safety policy conflicts with our competitors but our system will eventually become the industry norm.
Our
focus is on client safety, not the timidness of therapists.
No. A lot of places still ask clients to get on their hands and knees but we have no idea why.
We'll do our best to preserve your modesty at
all times, and you won't need to get into any strange positions at all.
Your therapist will be me, Andrew Thompson. If you have issues with having a male therapist, they are
your issues, and I'd prefer you somewhere else.
No, it would make the treatment too expensive. Wax pots take
around 40 minutes to heat up, and we would have to charge for that time.
If we preheat the pots, then we risk spillage
during transportation, which again is a costly (and messy) affair.
Unfortunately no. The after wax lotion will create a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution.
Grab a can of Sun Zone as you
leave. It's salon-quality and you can have a friend spray you the next day.
Definitely not. You should avoid heat following a wax treatment and solariums take heat to the extreme. Also, the chemicals in solarium tanning
lotions will inflame the skin after waxing. Leave 2 to 3 days between waxing and solarium tanning.
It should also be said that Reef Beauty
does not agree with or condone the use of solariums or any other UV tanning device, even after that time.
Until about 2006, we trained many staff from various salons around the country.
The therapists then received a
certificate upon completion listing details of their particular level of skill. Any therapists making the claim that
they trained with us are usually happy to present their credentials.
Please don't contact us to find out
details of a particular therapist who has undergone training with us, as this is confidential information.
We plan to recommence training during 2012.
