    Having recently relocated from Cebu City, where waxing and hair removal for men is easy to find, I have yet to locate a salon that accommodates males for this service. Does anyone know of a waxing salon in the Valencia or Dumaguete area that offers service to men? Surely there are other hairy expats that have need of this?

    Wax is wax. Have you been turned away at salons?

    Yup, every single one. “We only handle women” has been the standard reply.

    Have you been to any of the smaller salons being ran by biniboy?

    Edit: I'm not trying to be funny here.

    If I could find one, I’d gladly try it out of desperation

    Have you tried going to beauty or derm clinics? There is one across Robinsons, another at the Market Place near Ceres Terminal, and TRU Dermatologie across the Silliman Medical Hospital.

    Thanks, RW! I’ve tried all the beauty places, but I’ll contact the derm places you suggested

    Lavish beauty spa does waxing for men. They moved though and are near the Arcade Center.

    TRU Dermatologie near the medical hospital doesnt do waxing. What they do have is a permanent laser removal (painless) since waxing is prone to infection (folliculitis) and the hair just grows back in two to three weeks. Im giving you their number in case you want to consider something more permanent.

    Tru Dermatologie - 09175832408

    The one at Market Place is called GLO and the FB contact is https://www.facebook.com/glomedicalspecialists/ their web site is www.glomedicalclinic.com and telephone number is +63 917 583 7120 . I haven't been there but spent a lot of time at Market Place while waiting for my daughter to do her dancing over last summer. The place is very busy and I have seen expats attending there. Maybe for the good of fellow hirsuit members here (like me) you could let us know how was your experience.

    Thanks for the tip, but I tried Lavish yesterday, and they no longer do waxing.

    As for the permanent hair removal, I’d have to seriously examine someone’s credentials before allowing them anywhere near that area with a laser!
