FAQ for Snake Charmer Men's Body Waxing

Cash, Venmo, and Zelle.

• Minimum 5 weeks since last shave/trim/wax or other hair removal process to avoid reschedule fee. Hair needs to be a certain length for the wax to capture it. Don’t trim before appointment; we’ll cut it back if it’s too long.
• The hair regrowth speed depends upon the client’s metabolism. Typically, clients are ready for their next wax sessions between 4-6 weeks.

• No over-the-counter pain killers or numbing cream
• Go easy on your morning coffee (caffeine stimulates and sensitizes skin)
• Take a warm shower rather than hot
• No lotion, cream, or oil on the areas being waxed
• Postpone your workout (adrenaline sensitizes skin)
• Refrain from coming in with a sunburn or open sores – damaged skin cannot be waxed

• Skip the gym (sweat stings and irritates open follicles)
• Take a cooler shower and just rinse that area with water (cleanser) if you absolutely need to have one within 12 hours of your service
• Avoid sunning, saunas, exfoliating, chlorinated or salt water
• Wear loose, breathable clothing to decrease friction (preferably 100% cotton), or better yet just go commando
• Don’t plan to sit several hours on a plane or in a car the same day you’re waxed – skin needs to breathe
• Soothe skin with 100% pure aloe vera gel or Finipil (see description below) – no lotions or baby oil
• No hanky panky unless you avoid the waxed areas (which means you’re either super creative or you ignore this advice and call us crying that your playground is on fire)
• Post-waxing redness and possible mild stinging is fully expected, extremely common and can last 24 hours following the service depending on your skin’s unique sensitivity. If irritation lasts more than 2 days, head to Amazon for Finipil Pro/Elec anticeptic cream and use twice daily until irritation lessens.
• If you get whiteheads (small pimples with white tips), use Neosporin ointment (not cream) twice a day for the following 3-4 days. Spread a thin amount over the entire area with clean fingertips. If you use Dove soap products or anything with a fragrance, grab a bar of unscented glycerin soap or a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s unscented liquid soap from Sprouts or Whole Foods – many commercial cleansing products are very harsh on our skin. Be very gentle when washing the area – scrubbing will only aggravate it. Let your waxer know how it looks after a few days.

Penifacials are as unique as the practitioners who offer them – no two are alike. Some are very sterile with bright lights and noisy workplaces; others are pseudo-massage businesses that are fronts for unsavory operations. Then there are those of us who make it a physically and emotionally calming experience. Snake Charmer’s Penifacial is a non-sexual application and removal of skincare products on your genitals. Our service also includes a brief scalp and neck rub.

No, the foreskin is not pulled back.

Gloves are optional per the Arizona Barbering and Cosmetology Board – we choose not to wear them. We fully sanitize between clients.
