Let’s talk about something that more men are doing than they might openly admit: getting waxed. At Glaminator Beauty Bar in Wayne and Totowa NJ, male clients make up a growing and enthusiastic portion of our clientele. And consistently, the response we hear after a first appointment is the same: ‘Why did I wait so long?’ If you’re curious about men’s waxing — whether it’s for your brows, your back, your chest, or anything else — this guide is your starting point.
The Rise of Men’s Waxing: What the Numbers Say in 2026
Men’s grooming has undergone a cultural shift in the past decade. What was once considered an exclusively female beauty category has become a mainstream personal care choice for men across all ages and backgrounds. Athletes have long known the performance benefits of body waxing. Now the rest of the world is catching up. Male clients at Glaminator book everything from eyebrow waxing and nose waxing to Brazilian waxing, back and chest waxing, and full body services. There’s no judgment here — just professional service and honest results.
What Areas Men Most Commonly Wax — and Why
Eyebrow Waxing
The most popular male waxing service by far. Clean, defined brows make an enormous difference in how a face looks — and it takes about 10 minutes. Men who’ve never had their brows professionally shaped are often stunned by the difference a precise wax makes.
Back and Chest Waxing
Back and chest waxing is popular among athletes, swimmers, bodybuilders, and any man who prefers a cleaner look. Both services use Comfort Wax® and take 20 to 45 minutes depending on coverage area.
Nose and Ear Waxing
Quick, effective, and surprisingly satisfying. Nose and ear waxing removes the hairs that are genuinely distracting and difficult to manage with trimmers. Both services take under 10 minutes.
Brazilian and Bikini Waxing
Yes, men get Brazilian waxes too. It’s growing in popularity across all demographics — for hygiene preferences, athletic performance, or personal preference. At Glaminator, male Brazilian and bikini waxing is treated with the same professionalism and discretion as every other service we offer.
Does Men’s Waxing Hurt More?
Honestly — men’s skin tends to be thicker and the hair coarser, which can mean slightly more resistance at first. But with Comfort Wax® specifically, the experience is far more comfortable than clients expect. The wax’s hard formulation grips the hair efficiently, which means the removal is faster and cleaner than strip wax. Most male clients report that the experience is ‘much less bad than I thought it would be’ — which, from a first-timer, is about as good a review as waxing gets.
How Comfort Wax® Makes Men’s Waxing More Comfortable
Comfort Wax® is a hard wax that adheres to hair, not skin. For men with coarser body hair, this is especially important — coarse hair requires more grip from the wax, but standard strip wax achieves that by also gripping more skin, which means more discomfort. Comfort Wax® grips the hair without the skin penalty, making coarser-hair services significantly more comfortable than what you’d experience at most other waxing locations.

Glaminator is a warm, professional environment where you’re treated exactly the same as any other client. Your Glaminator will explain everything before starting, use proper draping for privacy throughout, and check in with you for comfort. Most men’s waxing appointments are quick and efficient. After your service, you’ll receive aftercare instructions for best results.
