the twirl test - if you are uncertain about your manscaping needs, you can do a self-test, which is quick, easy, & painless. simply try to wrap a piece of your body hair (in a region that concerns you - other than your cranium, silly) around your pinky finger. if your hair can wrap more than half way around this phalange, you need to explore maintenance options.

hair on your head? yeah baby. hair on your legs? sure, why not. hair on your arms? you can get away with that too. hair on your chest? hmm, better check with your partner on that one. hair on your back? you, my friend, must do some manscaping*! the back is one area of the human anatomy where we all welcome baldness! the twirl test - if you are uncertain about your manscaping needs, you can do a self-test, which is quick, easy, & painless. simply try to wrap a piece of your body hair (in a region that concerns you - other than your cranium, silly) around your pinky finger. if your hair can wrap more than half way around this phalange, you need to explore maintenance options. hairy hints - ok, so you've tested positive for twirlability, don't worry - perhaps be a little concerned - but not worried.

fuzzy wuzzy was a man? - commonly, most areas for excess fuzz for men are found on the torso. it's true, some people actually enjoy a few extra tufts of hair on their mate's chest - but there is nothing erotic about back hair! oh, & just one more little factoid, posterior hair can exist north & south of the waistline - everything must go!
manscaping solutions- Shobha® offers sugaring & waxing treatments to help in the demolition of such follicular forests. we promise to leave you smooth & furless; most clients remain completely bare for about two weeks! if you're new to manscaping, we recommend a monthly regimen to help keep that monkey off your back (or front)!
the male threshold for pain - yes, studies have shown that women do seem to handle physical pain better. but fear not, past client testimonies have shown that sugaring is up to 50% less painful than waxing & in some areas it's virtually painless! the magic of sugaring gel is that it only sticks to your hair & less to your skin, so irritation is kept to a minimum.

eyebrows made easy

sure you've overheard the chatter about eyebrow shaping, women get it done all the time, but you're a guy - why would you ever want to do this? here at Shobha®, we have found the three major reasons that even the most manly men should consider eyebrow threading:

the unibrow epidemic - it is a widespread problem in which a pair of eyebrows are connected by a bridge of extraneous hairs, forming one gigantic brow - yikes!
face it - you only get one chance to make a first impression, & most people tend to remember facial features, i.e. a perfect smile, pretty eyes, etc. - why not add great eyebrows to your list! well-groomed eyebrows can also complement your other features, they are even said to 'wake up' a tired face, creating a more youthful appearance.
busy brows - eyebrow hair can have a mind of its own. eyebrow shaping helps to keep a full, yet tidy look, which can fine-tune your polished presence for the workplace.
