Why I Choose to Get Hairless

This past week a friend of mine had the courage to finally ask me, “do you remove all your body hair?” I say courage because we have been going to the gym together for years and I figured he noticed but never brought it up. I guess curiosity finally got the cat.

To answer his question, I casually told him, yes I have pretty much lasered my whole body. He didn’t seem phased by it, rather he asked, “why”. I told him I prefer it that way. He was cool with the answer and the conversation stopped there.

That said, as I reflected on the discussion, I was thinking to myself, why did I spend years shaving and ultimately thousands of dollar on laser hair removal. I came up with 3 answers:

1) I prefer it

Ever since I started growing pubic hair, I shaved it off. I simply prefer to be hairless. Nothing beats the feeling, as far as I am concerned.

2) Its more comfortable

I prefer the comfort of not having body hair. When I wear clothes, I like the feel of my body better under the clothes, when I sweat I find not having body hair easier to manage and when I have to go in for needles (unfortunately I get a lot of them) not having any body hair makes the removal of band aids much easier.

3) I got addicted to removing my body hair

I started removing only my armpit and pubic hair and that eventually led to legs, arms, chest, back, buttocks, feet, etc. I hear that when people start with tattoos that you can get addicted to it, well in my case, hair removal become an addiction. I couldn’t stop when I started.

Point #3 is my only word of caution. If you start you may not finish until it is all gone. Just saying.

The 3.5 Hour Marathon In Removing Almost All Of My Body Hair

One common question that seems to float around the Internet is how long does it take to do complete body hair removal on a man. My marathon first session was 3.5 hours and it included the following areas:

  • Armpits
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Brazilian including the perianal area
  • Buttocks
  • Lower back
  • Full legs

My take after the first session? I love the results, they are pretty good and the technician that I went to is really good. The problem is that with this long of a time frame you eventually run out of things to talk about. The second problem with this time is that it is very tiring. You are either laying on your back or your stomach the whole time which after a couple of hours of snapping pain it becomes quite tiring. The technician was really good. I could tell she was getting tired from standing, but she held in there. For the most part everything seems to go quite quick, the area of the body that took the longest and in my opinion the most tedious was the legs, they just seemed to go on forever.

Would I do this again. Short-answer is that I have one more session like this booked. Then I plan on breaking out the legs and doing them separately. Two reasons for this; the first is that the schedule for legs, according to my tech, is every 8-weeks while the rest of the areas is recommended 4-6 weeks and the second reason is that the legs take about a little over an hour, so they themselves are the biggest chunk to the full body.

If you have done full body or a large portion of your body, I would love to hear your experience

 

 

Tips For Picking a Laser Technician for a Male Brazlian

Thinking of getting laser treatment on the male pubic region? With the number of clinics now advertising that offer male brazilians it would appear that the procedure is getting more and more common. Although I don’t have any concrete evidence of this, I can say that in September I joined the ranks of men who have decided to permanently remove their pubic hair via laser hair removal.

The purpose of this post is not to explain the results of the treatment, this is coming in a subsequent post, but rather to explain what I did prior to the treatment to get comfortable with the laser clinic as well as the laser technician. Considering I was about to get partially naked in front of a complete stranger and have them yield a laser that would be touching my testicles, shaft and anus this was not a decision that I was planning to simply run into.

Here are my words of advice for any male (or female) that is looking at getting laser hair removal in their private area done.

#1 – Ask a lot of questions

Some of the questions that I asked my technician:
– What date did you first do a male brazilian?
– How many brazilian’s have you done?
– Can you explain exactly what will happen during the procedure and what you require of me? (This is an important question as some clinics will say you do nothing, then will shift stuff around, and others will say they won’t touch your private area but instead will ask you to participate by moving your junk back and forth)
– Have you had any clients that were not happy with your work?
– How long will it take?
– What % of your clients have started with a brazlian and then moved to other body parts or started with other body parts and moved to brazilian?
– How do you communicate during the procedure?
– Have you burnt any clients?

The purpose of asking a lot of questions is to build rapport. The way a person answers the above questions will show genuine knowledge. If a person is irritated by your questions or wants you to make a decision in a hurry, run away, they clearly don’t care about making you feel at ease. What I was really looking for was to ensure that the person had experience, the rest was building rapport.

#2 – Build Rapport

Starting with the questions you want to make sure you are comfortable with the person doing the procedure. The key comfort level is to make sure that you have good communication to and from the technician to ensure the procedure goes smoothly. Considering how intimate this procedure this (and by intimate I don’t mean anything that would reasonable a turn – just that you are naked with your junk exposed in front of another person) you may also want to have a technician with whom you can have a conversation about general subject matter while the procedure is being performed.

In my case, I like a talkative laser tech. Somebody who can talk intelligently on a variety of subjects. Granted this is a personal preference but I could not spend 20-30 minutes with a tech who was completely silent.

#3 – Get Over the Embarrassment

When you actually go in for the procedure the technician will tell you to remove everything from waist down. In my case I was also doing armpits at the same time, so basically besides socks, I was completely naked on the table. Perhaps for some freakish men this is considered a turn-on, but truthfully, it is a little embarrassing laying on a table naked waiting for a laser tech to come in.

To point #2 of building rapport, the tech came in and immediately put me at ease by jumping into conversation (can’t actually remember what the conversation was) while she setup the machine and gave me the glasses. This immediately put me at ease and brought my tension level down. First she did the armpits and then when she was about to start the brazilian portion she took some time to explain again what was going to happen and when she was going to need me to move stuff around. Probably the most embarrassing part was lifting your legs up to your stomach and spreading slightly while she did the anus area.

When the procedure was done, she left and I got dressed. As I was dressing I was thinking to myself, I am about to go out to the counter and pay the bill to a women who has intimately seen all my nether regions. Going back to the importance of rapport when I got out of the room to pay, she was completely professional, asked how everything was, cracked a good joke and gave me the bill. When I was paying we set-up the second appointment.

As mentioned, I will put up another post on the results (so far after two sessions, I am impressed) but I wanted to share my experience in selecting a technician and the first procedure. Before selecting a clinic I interviewed 4 clinics and 4 technicians who offer the service and I think my list of questions and the initial rapport has paid off in finding a technician who is professional, knowledgeable and makes me comfortable. By the way, the clinic that was selected is called the Hair Free Laser Institute in Calgary.

I hope that you find the information in this post useful.

Male Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Update for Toronto

Earlier this year, January to be precise, we blogged about Male Brazilian via Laser Hair Removal – Toronto Prices and we found prices that range from $150 to $300 per session. The businesses we listed there all listed explicitly that they offer this service for me.

A reader of ours decided to send us a comment about a business that we missed in North York called Versus Laser Hair Removal Clinic indicating they also offer this service for men using the Soprano XL at 169. According to the Female Brazilian Cost Across Canada.

Anyway, it is great to see more laser hair removal salons offering this service for men.

Male Brazilian via Laser Hair Removal – Toronto Prices

Our blog has received a lot of attention and traffic as it relates to Male Brazilian via laser hair removal. Last year we did 3 posts on the topic, and of course our posts focus on the pricing aspect. Our posts from last year included – Getting a Male Brazilian in Calgary with Prices back in Jan, a follow-up post to that which featured an update from a Calgary based company called The Gateway Spa for Men which does this procedure and a post about prices in Vancouver of getting a male brazilian.

So let’s take a look at what we found in Canada’s most populous city, Toronto, Ontario

The Laser Clinic – They break down the prices very nicely. Prices ranging from basic bikini and base of penis at $200 per session to basically removing it all for $300 per session.

Evropa Laser & Waxing Studio – They charge $200 for brazilian on men. They offer packages that include full legs as well which gives you a discount on the brazilian.

Yonge-Eglinton Laser Center – We don’t think they offer brazilian for men, although they will do the bikini line for $199 per session. Their brazilian package is $189 per session but this is for women. If you are not looking for the full “ballz an all” package, they might just suffice. To access their prices, you need to click on the links on the page.

Divine Skin Therapy Wellness Spa – they offer the male brazilian at $159 per session or you can purchase a package of 5 sessions for $675 which is $135 per session.

Strawberry Fields Spa & Wellness – this is where it gets frustrating for people shopping. This site does list the fact that you can get full body laser hair removal for men (full body, means everything) for $1700 per session, however, in the individual price list, they don’t like male brazilian or even male bikini as an option. For women they list full bikini as $260 per session, so for men this price would likely be higher. Our assumption if they are willing to sell you a full body treatment you can call and get a price for just your “bits”.

For honorable mention is the Men’s PowerSpa. Although they don’t list the prices for male brazilian laser hair removal, they do list waxing prices. And we found their representation of their services (their graphics to be quite good at providing you with exactly what to expect – for this reason, they get the bode. Here is the picture for male brazilian waxing:
