I live in Pittsburgh, PA and am trying to find a salon that will give me a full body wax, including Brazilian. Most will not even do it for a male, even though they will for females, or they are going to charge me twice as much per section as a woman would pay for her whole body. This is frustrating me because when I lived in NY I got this done all the time and no one batted an eye, buy now I am looked at like I am some sick pervert. If anyone knows someone in the greater Pittsburgh, PA area that can treat me like a real coustomer I would be vary happy. Thank you.

Sorry you are having problems! Unfortunately, a lot of hair removal places have had problems with guys who get off sexually on the procedure, which creeps many of them out.

If it's not threatening to you, I always recommend checking out the local gay newspaper. Usually they will have several ads for hair removal services catering to men. They won't bat an eye, just like in NYC!

I have to agree. It took me a long time to find a place that performed a male Brazilian. When my girl asked her salon basically the response was they don't do men because they've had bad experiences with guys wanting more than just the wax.

After a long search I found one place i am happy with, it's not real close but they do a nice job. I a also found a new place that is much closer.

not sure if you're still looking, but i could share the salon locations with you if you like.
