A client just sent me some photos. I posted a bunch of this kid’s photos back in November, but here I’m illustrating one facet of my male “body hair strategy.”

He was here for his first clearance in the middle of November. I’m illustrating how I sometimes “feather-in” a chest/stomach case.

As you can see by the scabs and redness, (photo 1), I cleared-off all the hairs along the sides. Now, after several months, about half the hairs have returned. This gives the look of a centerline while retaining hairs along the sides. (It’s usually a full belly of hairs that clients usually don’t like.)

Now, at the next clearance, I will remove hairs at the sides again but in a narrower strip. This will clean-up the sides. Eventually (3rd clearance) I will probably zap the sides again (an even more narrow strip) for a 100% removal.

At the 3rd clearance I can also do minor adjustments to make the whole thing look normal. I can see a couple areas I’m not satisfied with. The kid’s happy with the results so far … and that’s what it’s all about.

Amazing job, please keep us updated as I’m very curious to see the final result.

This is a great strategy that works very well. The only problem I see is the high contrast between areas that have received 3 clearing (completely hairfree) and untouched areas.

Your other strategy 1 clearing in absolutely all the hairs, and 3 in the outer areas, would give a more natural look. Do not you think?

I agree Jossie,

See the guy is thinking about going total bare. I’m trying to convince him to keep some hair. If he keeps some, I will feather out the areas until they look natural.

There’s no harm in a gradual removal and sometimes this gives the client what they want … and saves them money too.

Still, I think my efforts will be wasted … we shall see.

No, there is no harm in doing the job in a gradual way, especially if the guy is a little hesitant. However, like it or not, most of them have clear ideas. You almost can not see pictures of “hairy-chested men.” The magazine models show a torso totally devoid of hair, to the point that now the tendency is to believe that a completely clean male torso is the most natural.

Part of the blame lies with women. A few months ago, I attended a client on his first visit. He was accompanied by his mother. When I asked what his expectations were, he said he was not sure he wanted everything removed. His mother, however, insisted on the idea of “all out”. Personally, I like a soft and smooth torso (if the other option is shaving) , but I also like a little hair strategically placed to remind me that I’m not seeing a child.

Moreover, the characteristics of the remaining hairs is a factor to consider. If the hairs grow very long, and the guy should trim them regularly, then we may not have another choice.
