    My DH sometimes goes to the salon for a massage and got chatting to the girl that does the waxing. She has a regular client base of men who go in for waxing, but seemingly they complain that it hurts more than the women, lol. One of DH's colleagues goes to get his chest and back waxed every year before he goes on his hols.


    I'm not aware of any "men's" salons but don't be shy, just give your local one a ring, you won't be the first guy they've waxed! :)
    I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....

    I'll give it a go if you like. Quite like the idea of inflicting pain on a man.

    Seriously now. Do you have any health spa's or the like near you? They have beauticians that will be used to male as well as female clients. The health spa near me has a male beautician (he gives a great massage). :D
    Just an idea.

    My friend has his back waxed as he has a hideous growth on his lower back!! The salon he goes to charge £12.00 for the lower back (20 minutes). For a full back its £19.50 (45 minutes) and for the chest it's £14.00 (20 minutes).

    Munro the chemist in East Kilbride (alberta place) have a waxing/treatment section which is very unisex and its not at the center it is set back from all the shops it has parking and it would just look like you were going into the chemist;)

    wouldn't it be cheaper to get one of those permanent hair removal systems? I bought one for the missus last christmas for about £50 (on sale) at Boots. I am sure they'd do the business.

    How does this work? Some kind of laser treatment?

    What about the full monty? (backcrack&sack)
    Where on earth do you go for this? I'm not sure the ladies salons would be up for it!
