At Shwe, we provide expert male waxing services in a professional and welcoming environment. Whether you’re looking for a smooth, long-lasting result on your back, chest, shoulders, arms, legs, or eyebrows, our skilled therapists use the highest-quality wax to ensure a comfortable and effective treatment.
Please note: We do not offer any intimate waxing services for male clients.
We use two types of wax to ensure the most effective and comfortable hair removal experience:
Warm Wax (Strip Wax): Applied in the direction of hair growth, then removed with a strip, making it ideal for larger areas such as the back, chest, shoulders, arms, and legs.
Hot Wax: Applied directly to the skin, left to cool, and then removed without a strip. This method is more suitable for sensitive areas such as the face.
Do:
✔ Let your hair grow long enough to pinch (usually around 4 weeks).
✔ Exfoliate and moisturise regularly before your appointment to help lift any ingrown hairs, ensuring a smoother wax.
Do Not:
✖ Use a sunbed or expose yourself to sunlight 24 hours before your appointment.
✖ Apply fake tan—this should be done 24 hours after your wax.
✖ Shave for at least 4 weeks before your wax for the best results.
To keep your skin smooth and irritation-free, follow these aftercare guidelines:
Do Not:
✖ Have hot baths or showers for 24 hours.
✖ Use a sunbed or expose yourself to sunlight for 24 hours.
✖ Do any excessive exercise (gym, running, etc.) for 24 hours.
✖ Apply fake tan, deodorant, or perfumed products to the waxed area for 24 hours.
✖ Shave between wax appointments, as this disrupts the hair growth cycle.
Do:
✔ Exfoliate the waxed area regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.
✔ Moisturise daily to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
✔ Rebook within 4 weeks for the best long-term waxing results.

Use anti-ageing or skin-thinning products (for facial waxing).
Have been exposed to UV rays in the last 12 hours.

To ensure a smooth and professional waxing experience, we kindly ask all clients to follow these guidelines:
Follow Your Therapist’s Instructions – Your therapist will guide you through the treatment, including positioning and any movements required to assist with the waxing process.
Keep Conversations Respectful – We are a professional salon, and we ask that all discussions remain appropriate during your treatment.
Personal Space & Boundaries – For the comfort and professionalism of our team, we ask that you do not touch the therapist at any time during your treatment.
Arrive Clean & Prepared – Please ensure the area being waxed is clean before your appointment. If needed, we have cleansing wipes available at the salon.

No, we do not provide intimate waxing services for male clients. We offer professional waxing treatments for the face, back, chest, arms, and legs in a comfortable and professional setting.
No, please do not trim or shave before your waxing appointment. For the best results, your hair should be at least the length of a grain of rice (around 4 weeks of growth) to ensure the wax can grip properly.
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but we use high-quality wax and professional techniques to minimise discomfort. If it’s your first time waxing, you may feel more sensitivity, but regular waxing reduces discomfort over time as hair becomes finer.
Yes! For the best results:
Exfoliate and moisturise regularly before your appointment to lift any ingrown hairs.
Avoid sunbeds or sun exposure for 24 hours before waxing.
Do not apply fake tan before your appointment.
We recommend booking every 4-6 weeks for the best long-term results. Regular waxing helps to weaken hair regrowth, making future treatments easier and more comfortable.
A patch test is only required for diabetic clients or those with known skin sensitivities. If you're unsure, please contact us before booking.
Strip Wax (Warm Wax): Applied in the direction of hair growth and removed with a strip, best for larger areas like the back, chest, arms, and legs.
Hot Wax: Applied directly to the skin and removed without a strip, best for sensitive areas like the face.
Your therapist will choose the best wax for your skin type, but if you have any preferences or sensitivities, please let us know before your treatment.
Most clients can have waxing treatments, but if you are on acne medication (Roaccutane), using anti-ageing products, have sunburnt skin, or a medical condition such as diabetes, please contact us before booking.
No, shaving interrupts the hair growth cycle and can make your next wax more uncomfortable. To maintain smooth results, wax every 4-6 weeks.
Avoid hot showers, sunbeds, and sweating (exercise) for 24 hours.
Exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.
Moisturise daily to keep skin hydrated.
No, we recommend avoiding excessive sweating, gym sessions, or running for 24 hours after waxing, as sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin.
Results typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and make hair finer over time.
