Most men in Booragoon have tried shaving their way through summer. It works until it doesn’t: razor burn, stubble by day three, and the same routine starting all over again. Waxing solves that cycle. One session lasts 4 to 6 weeks, and the regrowth comes back finer each time.
HisGrooming serves men across southern Perth, including Booragoon, with waxing services designed specifically for male skin. Male skin is thicker and the hair is coarser, so the technique matters. Our staff are trained on male-specific waxing, which means less irritation and better results than a generic salon.

Why Waxing Beats Shaving for Most Men
Why Waxing Beats Shaving for Most MenShaving cuts hair at the surface. Waxing pulls it from the root. That difference changes everything about how your skin feels and how long results last.
With waxing, you get 4 to 6 weeks of smooth skin from a single session. With shaving, most men see stubble within 48 to 72 hours. Over time, regular waxing also weakens the hair follicle, so regrowth becomes thinner and sparser.
There’s also the skin benefit. Waxing physically removes the top layer of dead skin cells as it lifts the hair. That means you’re getting a mild exfoliation with every session. Fewer ingrown hairs, smoother texture, and no risk of nicks or cuts.
How to Prepare for Your Waxing Session
A few simple steps before your appointment make a real difference in results and comfort.
Hair length matters most. You need at least 6 to 8 millimetres of growth for the wax to grip properly. If you’ve been shaving, stop for 2 to 3 weeks before your first session.
Exfoliate 24 hours before. A light scrub the day before your appointment clears dead skin and helps the wax grab the hair, not just the surface skin.
Skip the gym that day. Sweat and heat on freshly waxed skin increases the chance of irritation. Same goes for saunas, hot showers, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours after.
Moisturise regularly between sessions. Hydrated skin holds less hair in the follicle, which means less discomfort when you wax again.
What to Expect at HisGrooming
The studio is set up for male clients only. That’s a deliberate choice. Men’s waxing needs a different setup, different wax temperature, and a different approach than what most beauty salons offer.
Your session is private, which most clients appreciate. We use hard wax for sensitive areas (it’s gentler on the skin and doesn’t require strips) and warm wax for larger areas like the back and chest.
A first-time back wax typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Chest waxing runs 20 to 30 minutes. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you book.
