Cost of mens brazilian wax - 22-07-08, 01:07 PM

I'm astounded by the variety of prices of mens brazilian waxing.

The two places I've been to regularly in London charge £25 and £45 respectively and the best prices I've found outside of London are around the £60 mark.
Ironically the best service and environment have been the cheapest - £25.

What's the normal price for between buttocks, and everything else except a landing strip?
And how come it's so much more expensive for men than women?

I charge £40-60 with most guys being charged £50. I imagine the main reason the treatment is more expensive for men than women is because it is not widely available yet. I expect in a year or two the market will be flooded and new therapists will charge less and this could have the effect of pushing prices down generally. Having said that, I wouldn't lower my prices... when a client is comfortable with you and has a rapport with you, they tend to be loyal and unlikely to shop around (esp. for this kind of treatment) to save a few quid. I guess most of my clients can afford it anyway, they probably earn way more than me

I currently charge £60 which I think is a fair price for what is after all a very specialised service and one which I don't believe many therapists will have attended/passed a fully certified course for.

I update my training regularly and use in my opinion the best wax there is on the market at the moment. I am also a very experienced waxer and therefore feel justified in charging what I do.

My clients often comment on how reasonable my prices are (£50 upwards).

I guess it's a pay back for men always getting cheaper hair cuts than women.
