Body clippering is a quick, comfortable and highly customisable way to manage unwanted or excessive body hair without waxing it from the root or shaving directly against the skin.
Whether you want a light tidy-up, shorter and more manageable body hair, clearly defined areas or an extremely close finish, we can tailor the treatment to suit your grooming style.
You decide how much hair you would like to retain. Our professional clippers can be fitted with different guard lengths, allowing us to reduce the hair while maintaining an even and natural appearance.
A longer guard lightly tidies and controls the hair, while a shorter guard creates a much closer, cleaner finish. A Grade 0 or no-guard finish is the closest clipper option; however, it will generally leave very short stubble rather than the completely smooth result achieved through waxing or shaving.
If you are unsure which length to choose, your therapist can show you the available guards and recommend a length based on the area, density of hair and result you would like.
Body clippering is suitable for most areas, including:
Chest
Stomach
Back
Shoulders
Arms and forearms
Underarms
Legs
Buttocks
Selected intimate areas
Full body
Different lengths can also be used across the body to create a blended, balanced result. For example, the back and shoulders can be clipped closely while leaving slightly more length across the chest and stomach.
Body clippering is a practical choice for men who:
Want to reduce body hair without removing it completely
Prefer a natural-looking groomed result
Do not want the discomfort of waxing
Experience irritation from close shaving
Want a quick treatment with minimal skin disruption
Need help grooming difficult-to-reach areas
Prefer to keep some hair while reducing its thickness and length
Are trying professional body grooming for the first time
Because the hair is shortened rather than pulled from the root, there is no need to wait for it to grow to a particular length before your appointment.
Clippering is not simply about running clippers over the body at one length. Careful blending prevents obvious lines between treated and untreated areas.
We can soften the transition between the chest, stomach, shoulders, arms and back so the finished result looks intentional and natural. Selected areas can also be shaped or defined according to your preference.
Selected intimate areas can be professionally clipped in a private, respectful and matter-of-fact environment.
Before treatment, we will discuss which areas you would like groomed and how much hair you want to retain. Appropriate draping is used wherever possible, and your therapist will explain positioning and guide you through the appointment.
There is no awkwardness and no judgement. Your comfort, privacy and preferred result remain the priority.
Your therapist will begin with a brief consultation and examine the condition, length and direction of the hair. Together, you will select an appropriate clipper guard and agree on the areas to be treated.
The hair is then clipped systematically for an even finish, with edges and adjoining areas carefully blended. Professional equipment and attachments are cleaned and disinfected between clients in accordance with our hygiene procedures.
Treatment should not be performed over broken, infected, sunburnt or significantly irritated skin.
Please arrive with clean, dry skin and avoid applying heavy body oils or moisturisers immediately before your appointment.
After clippering, showering will help remove any loose hair. A light, fragrance-free moisturiser may be applied if the skin feels dry. Wearing clean, loose clothing can also help prevent unnecessary friction on freshly groomed areas.
Choose clippering if you want to shorten, control or blend your body hair while retaining some natural coverage.
Choose waxing if you prefer a smoother result with hair removed from the root and several weeks before noticeable regrowth.
Our therapists can help you select the most appropriate option during your consultation.
