Chest, back, arms and legs — what it costs, how long it takes, how much it hurts, and why the back is the one worth doing at home.
Men's waxing is a normal service that is still awkward to ask about. So here is the information without the coyness.
Why it costs more than the women's equivalent
It is not a surcharge. Men's hair is coarser and grows denser, so the same area takes more wax and more passes. Full legs on a man is genuinely a longer job than full legs on a woman, and the price follows the time.
What people actually book
Back and shoulders. The most-booked men's service, and the one where a home appointment beats a salon by the widest margin — it is the area you cannot do yourself, and doing it face-down on your own bed rather than in a cubicle is the whole appeal. About 30 minutes.
Chest and abdomen. Usually booked together. Rica wax matters more here than almost anywhere: chest hair is coarse, and strip wax on it is genuinely unpleasant.
Full arms. Including underarms. 30 minutes.
Full legs. Cyclists, swimmers and runners, mostly, and usually on a schedule. Say so at booking — regular waxing needs less time, and the beautician plans differently.
Full body. Everything above in one 90-minute sitting, cheaper than booking the areas separately.
Does it hurt
The first time, yes, more than you expect. The fourth time, much less — the hair grows back finer each cycle and there is less of it.
Rica wax rather than strip wax is the single biggest difference available to you, and it is worth the extra on coarse hair.
