For years, men have shied away from booking skincare and waxing services, thinking they’re strictly for women. But that’s changing fast. More men are realizing that taking care of their skin and body isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, too. If you’ve ever hesitated to step into a spa, thinking you’d be the only guy there, let’s set the record straight. At Mekah’s Body Shop, you’re not alone, and you’re definitely welcome.
The Truth About Skincare and Waxing for Men
Here’s the thing—grooming isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about hygiene, confidence, and overall comfort. Whether it’s getting a facial to clear up skin issues or booking a wax to stay cool and clean, men’s self-care is on the rise. But the biggest barrier? The assumption that spas are intimidating or “not for men.”
We get it. Maybe you’ve thought, “I don’t want to sit in a waiting room full of women staring at me.” Maybe you assumed waxing was just for women. One of my clients, who had those exact concerns, shared this testimonial and it compelled me to write this article:
“I’ve known Mekah for years before finally booking an appointment. I always assumed waxing was just for women and, honestly, the idea of sitting in a waiting room with a bunch of women giving me side-eye kept me from even considering it. Mekah reassured me that wouldn’t be the case at MBS—and she was right. She could tell I was nervous, so she handed me a shot of bourbon to take the edge off. We started talking about the Dodgers, and before I knew it, I was done. Now, I come back about every 4 weeks, especially in the summer. It gets easier every time. 10/10, highly recommend!”
Sound familiar? If so, here’s why you should rethink booking your first appointment.
Why More Men Are Booking Waxing and Skincare Services
1. It’s Not Just About Looks—It’s About Hygiene
A clean shave can only do so much. Waxing removes hair at the root, meaning less sweat, fewer ingrown hairs, and a fresher feeling all day long—especially in warmer months.
2. Athletes and Active Men Do It
If you work out, play sports, or just sweat a lot, waxing is a game-changer. Less hair means less friction and irritation, whether you’re running, cycling, or lifting weights.
3. It Boosts Confidence
Whether it’s smooth skin, reduced acne, or a well-groomed look, investing in yourself makes a difference. When you feel good, you carry yourself differently.
4. It’s Not Awkward Here
Forget the idea of an uncomfortable, overly feminine spa experience. At Mekah’s Body Shop, we create a laid-back, welcoming environment—no judgment, just good conversation and great results. If a little bourbon or tequila helps ease your nerves, we’ve got you covered.
