X-Cellent hair removal for blokes

08 May 08, 16:25 5 Beyond expectations

Most women are used to having the more intimate parts of their body waxed or sugared by a complete stranger, but for blokes this is not "the norm". I've had my shoulders and back waxed in the past at various places, but for this you only need to remove your shirt, not the biggest concern for most guys. However... I've always wanted my (ahem) 'rear' to be dealt with. It's hairy down there and annoys me. By pure chance I read an article about X-it and how they specialise in guys hair removal and booked an appt for the next day.

I was greeted by Sean, the owner and after a few simple forms to fill in I was lead downstairs. The first thing you notice is that this place is nice! It's clean, it's modern, you feel comfortable.

We got into the room where a massage table is already laid out, there is a wardrobe to put your clothes in. While undressing, Sean is asking me a few further questions about what i'm after etc, and when i'm down to my boxer shorts, he leaves the room (funny really, he's about to become the second most personal man I know outside my doctor)

So i'm lying on this massgae table, naked as the day I was born, trying not to be embarassed; Sean comes in explains about the sugaring method and we're away. I'm not going to talk about whether it hurt or not, that isn't what this review is for, all i'll say is that it is nowhere near as painful as you might imagine.

He's starting slighly above the area, around the coxic bone, and as he's pouring warm sugar over my arse, he's talking about how popular it's becoming to have guys removing hair, he's telling me what other blokes ask for, the types of people who come in etc, and without you realising it, you are comfortable and not embarrased by the fact that your naked. After doing as much as he can with me lying down, he asks me to get onto all fours so he can do the 'hole'. This is the moment I was dreading, you are leaning on your elbows and your knees, your arse in the air, other parts hanging low, but again, you don't feel as bad as you might think. Yes it's a situation most blokes wouldn't put themselves in, but there's no-one else there, it's not sexual, and Sean is a professional, he's doing a job, and he does it great.

The end result was an arse so smooth I was at risk of being arrested cos I kept wanting to give my cheeks a quick feel. It was £35.00 and if you have other body parts done as well the price would come down. They do the back, crack and sack, or you can get your crotch done, chest, arms, legs, ears and nose!

I would recommend this place to any guy who wants a bit of hair removal but doesn't relish the idea of a 19 yr old female beautician commenting on your bits.

I'm going back for another treatment in a couple of weeks and can't wait!
