FAQs

Here are some of questions we often get asked:

Why Shaving vs Waxing?

Why do you shave instead of wax? For professionals, waxing has a major flaw: the "Ugly Phase." You have to wait for hair to grow back to a certain length before your next session, meaning you have 10–14 days of looking unkempt. Professional shaving allows us to maintain a 100% smooth look 365 days a year with zero downtime.

Isn't shaving itchy compared to waxing? "Home" shaving often causes itchiness. Professional shaving involves proper skin prep, high-end electric intimate clippers and post-service treatments that calm the follicle. Most clients find our process much more comfortable than the "trauma" of waxing or self-shaving.

How often should I book? To maintain a "High-Definition" look without stubble, we recommend a session every 10–14 days. This is why our membership models are so popular with creators and athletes.

Why choose "Groomed Below" over DIY?

Total Visibility: No more "blind" shaving. I can see every angle, ensuring a 100% consistent finish with no missed patches or awkward regrowth.

Optimal Tension & Angle: I use professional techniques to keep the skin taut, allowing the blade to glide effortlessly for a closer, more comfortable finish than DIY attempts.

Safety First: Navigating sensitive areas is high-risk when you can't see what you're doing. My steady, professional hand eliminates the guesswork and minimises the risk of irritation.

Premium Prep & Aftercare: I combine the shave with professional-grade oils and balms that prepare the hair and calm the skin in a way that standard home products can't match.

Hygiene & Professionalism

How do you ensure hygiene? I follow a strict sanitisation protocol. All reusable tools are sterilised after every use. I use fresh gloves for every client and all disposables are discarded immediately.

Is this a "discreet" service? Absolutely. This is a private, 1-on-1 environment. I understand the need for privacy for high-profile creators and athletes. Your identity and your business stay between us.

What is the "Professional Conduct" policy? This is a strictly professional grooming service. Any inappropriate behaviour will result in the immediate end of the session, a permanent ban, and no refund.

Do I have to get fully naked? For Chest & Abs, you only need to remove your top. For The Speedo Line, you can wear your own swimwear or underwear and we will work around the edges. For Intimate, Buttocks, or Hollywood/Brazilian services, you will need to undress from the waist down to allow for full access and a professional finish. Rest assured, I am a professional; the environment is kept clean, discreet, and comfortable at all times.

For Creators & Athletes

Will I have red bumps after my session? We use specific anti-inflammatory finishers designed to minimise redness. Most clients are camera-ready within a few hours. However, for a major shoot, we recommend booking 24 hours in advance just to let the skin fully settle.

Can I go to the gym immediately after? We recommend waiting 24 hours before heavy sweating or wearing tight friction-heavy gym gear. This allows your pores to close and prevents "gym-bump" (folliculitis).

Does shaving help with muscle definition? Yes. Body hair acts as a "filter" that blurs muscle lines. By removing the hair and the top layer of dead skin cells, your skin reflects light better, making your "cuts" and V-taper look significantly more prominent on camera and under gym lights.

Logistics & Prep

How should I prepare for my appointment? Please arrive showered with clean skin. Do not apply any oils, lotions, or fake tan before the session, as these can clog the blades and affect the closeness of the shave.

What areas do you specialise in? I am a specialist in "Core & Intimate" grooming. My services are focused exclusively on the areas that define your physique and your content: Chest, Abs, Front Bush, Penis, Scrotum, Buttocks, and Crack. By narrowing my focus, I provide a level of detail and skin-safety that generalist barbers or waxers can't match.

Can I book an "Emergency Touch-Up"? We always try to squeeze our regulars in for "Content Emergencies."

The Mobile Service

Where are you located? I provide a fully mobile, professional service. I don’t have a high-street salon; instead, I bring the "studio experience" directly to the privacy of your home or filming location. This ensures total discretion and convenience for your schedule.

What areas do you cover? I cover Greater Manchester as standard. I am happy to travel further (Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford, Leeds, etc.) by special arrangement - please DM to discuss travel rates.

What do I need to provide in my home? Very little. I only require a well-lit space with access to a power outlet and maybe a vacuum cleaner (depending on the service) I bring everything else: sanitised tools, towels and skin-prep products.

What times are you available? I cater to the "after-hours" lifestyle of my clients. My primary booking slots are evenings and weekends, allowing you to get groomed after the gym or before a big shoot without clashing with your 9-to-5 or filming schedule.

Booking & Logistics

How do I book an appointment? The fastest way to book is via the online booking link, which shows all current availability and prices. Alternatively, you can send a DM on my socials to discuss specific requirements or travel outside of Greater Manchester.

Do I need to pay when I book? No, you don’t need to pay upfront. However, a credit or debit card is required to secure your appointment. Your card will only be charged a £15.00 fee if you cancel or reschedule with less than 24 hours' notice. Otherwise, you’ll simply pay the full amount on the day of your service.

How do I know my appointment is confirmed? Your booking is not final until you receive a confirmation message from me. Once I’ve reviewed the logistics and travel time, I will confirm your slot. If you use the online link, you will receive an automated notification followed by a personal confirmation.

Do you offer influencer or "Creator" discounts? I am always open to collaborating with creators and athletes with a strong reach. If you are interested in a "service for shoutout" or a discounted rate for regular tags, please DM me with your handles and let’s discuss a partnership.

Do you offer repeat booking discounts? Yes! I reward consistency. My pricing is tiered based on how long it has been since your last visit. If you book every 2 weeks to maintain your "Always-Ready" look, you’ll benefit from a lower maintenance rate compared to a one-off "full clear" session.
