Waxing & Threading At A Glance

Waxing & Threading at Lavish Looks, 49 Landcross Dr, Northampton NN3 3LN (Abington Vale, near Weston Favell):prices from £8. 6 treatments are on this menu, all by appointment at our unisex salon. Opening hours: Mon - Fri 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Sat 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Sun Closed. Book online or call +44 7355 805558.

Men's waxing and threading have their own room in our studio, at their own pace. Eyebrow threading and a beard line are the two most-booked services and take fifteen minutes between them; chest, back and stomach waxing are priced by area on the list above.

First time in for a wax? Leave a week or two since your last shave or trim so there's enough hair for the wax to grip properly — coming in freshly shaved means we can't do it justice.

What We Do, And What It Costs

Eyebrow threading at £8 and a beard line at £10 are the two quick services most men book, and both take under fifteen minutes. Threading is the right tool for both because it removes a precise row of hairs at a time, which is what gives a clean line rather than an obviously shaped one.

For body work we wax: chest at £18, stomach at £15 and back at £22. Waxing covers a large area in a single pass, which is why it is the sensible method there and why the whole appointment is much shorter than most men expect.

How Long To Leave The Hair

Wax and thread both need something to grip, so leave two to three weeks since your last shave or trim before booking. Turning up freshly shaved is the single most common reason an appointment cannot go ahead, and it is a wasted trip that is easily avoided.

If you are not sure whether it is long enough, send a photograph when you book and we will tell you honestly rather than have you come in for nothing.

Afterwards, And How Often

Expect the area to stay pink for a few hours. Avoid the gym, sauna, swimming and hot showers for 24 hours, and keep aftershave and perfumed products off the area for the same period — heat and fragrance on open follicles is what turns a normal result into irritation.

Start exfoliating gently after 48 hours, two or three times a week. On chest and back waxing this is the difference between clean regrowth and ingrown hairs, and it takes about thirty seconds in the shower. Most clients rebook brows and beard lines every three to four weeks and body waxing every four to six.

By Appointment, On Landcross Drive

Men's treatments have their own room and menu in our studio on Landcross Drive in Northampton, with free parking directly outside.

Everything is done in a private treatment room with the door closed, which is the main thing first-time clients ask about. A brow or beard line takes under fifteen minutes; a chest or back wax is around twenty to thirty. You will be in and out faster than you expect.

If it is your first appointment, say so when you book. Your therapist will talk you through what is about to happen rather than assume you already know, and will check the shape with you before finishing rather than presenting you with a result at the end. There is nothing awkward about any of it, and it is a far more routine appointment than most men assume.

Beard Line Shaping And Men's Eyebrows

A beard line is £10 and keeps the cheek and neck lines sharp, so the beard looks neat even as it grows. Men's eyebrow shaping by threading is £8. We take out stray hairs and the gap between the brows, and keep the shape natural, never over-plucked.

Chest And Back Waxing

Chest waxing is £18, a full back £22 and stomach £15. Let the hair grow to around 5mm first. If it is much longer, we trim it before waxing so it comes away more comfortably.

Male Intimate Waxing

We offer intimate waxing for men in a private room. Hot wax is used for these areas, because it grips the hair rather than the skin and is gentler on sensitive areas. The appointment is professional and matter-of-fact, and your therapist will talk you through it if it is your first time. Prices are confirmed when you book.

Afterwards, wear loose clothing, and avoid the gym, sauna and swimming for 24 hours.
