Man Having His Back Waxed - The Video
Second of our videos, shows hubby Craig having his back waxed. Mens back waxing is become more and more popular as the fellas get used to the benefits and there isn’t as much stigma attached to men having beauty treatments.
See it’s not so bad - he doesn’t even flinch

“Why don’t you get your back waxed?” Those are words I never expected to hear as I didn’t consider my back to be particularly hairy, just a few hairs here and there but definitely not a carpet or even a thread-bare carpet.
So there I was planning a holiday with a girl friend and was surprised with this back wax request. No mention of back hair had ever been made before. My only experience of a beauty salon was when my sister-in-law bought me a men’s face treatment which I must say was very relaxing.
Although I did flinch at the idea I put on a brave face and decided that I would give it a go … it’s worth trying once, I tried to tell myself. I was all ready taking a few sunbed sessions in order to prepare my skin for the harsh August sun of Gran Canaria, so I mentioned the possibility of a back wax to Claire who booked me in for an appointment a few days before holiday departure.
The big day arrived and I was a little nervous probably because I unsure what to expect. Well I had been teased by my friends saying that it can be really painful. Anyway, when I arrived the shop was empty of customers and Donna politely escorted me into a treatment room. There was a distinctly relaxed atmosphere. As the treatment was explained to me I became more relaxed … and so, on with the treatment.
To put it simply, I was shocked by how little pain there was during the treatment. I felt like a slight sting, probably from the fine short hairs being pulled out. I am not sure if it showed but I was in shock at how pain-free the whole treatment was, which I attribute to being not particularly hairy.
Wow, my back felt so smooooooth and squeaky clean, and my girl friend loved it. Not that I want to make it a regular event but I would have far less hesitation in having a back wax again.
The holiday finished with a surprise request which I should really have seen coming … “Why don’t you get your CHEST waxed?” Now, in my books, that is taking things a bit too far especially as my chest is more hairy than my back. When will these requests stop!?

I recently received a little birthday gift from Truly Scrumptious Beauty (via email) of a ‘money off’ voucher so, rather than waste it, I decided to go for another back wax. I must be getting accustomed to this wax thing as it stung even less than before!
Thanks Truly Scrumptious Beauty team.
PS Still not brave enough for the chest wax
