I'm a pretty average 46 Y.O. Male (5' 11", 180lbs). Not a overly hairy guy, but I certainly have chest hair. Occasionally, I'll manscape (trim around my junk). Sorry, no matter how many times I re-phrased it, that is the least ridiculous I could get the previous sentence to sound.
I do have two patches of hair on my back and behind my biceps. The spots on my back are kinda directly behind where my nipples are, but a bit more towards the outside. I don't know why, but those 4 spots of hair are beginning to bother me. So, I'm wondering about getting waxed. Frankly, I have no idea what is involved so, of course, the internet seems a fine place to ask. I've seen the 40 year old virgin and I'll expect it to be that kind of experience (again, I'm NOT that hairy).
My main questions are:
1) If you've been waxed, what are the downsides?
2) How long does it last? (how long before the hair grows back)
3) Is there anyone here who used to wax, but then decided to get laser treatment? Please tell me about it.
4) Does the hair grow back thicker or in any way worse than before? IOW: If I hate doing it, will I regret having it done once?
5) Where do you go to get a wax? I'm not talking Brazilian, but I'm wondering if this is a DIY project or best left to the professionals. Do most hair salons / spa settings do this?
6) I've noticed that people who have a tattoo, rarely have just one. I'm wondering if once you wax one or two spots, you end up not being satisfied and wanting more areas done. Is that a real concern?
7) Typical price range? I don't know if this is a $25 or $250 type of thing. Certainly, I could understand why removing hair off of a strangers body could entitle a person to a reasonable amount of compensation, then of course there is the need for materials and a private setting. I'm guessing I'm in for around $100 a treatment and I'll need to go twice a year. Does that sound right?
I assume that mostly men come to this forum. I assume that most men don't get waxed. But, I figure I'd ask here first anyway. Thanks in advance for any helpful information. Thanks in advance for any funny and well constructed humorous replies.
