Timeless beauties like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor were said to be fans of shaving their face and apparently, the geishas owed their porcelain smoothness to it. But would your client be brave enough to want to opt for the treatment? Faye Remedios finds out that several women are indeed willing to do this in the quest to get a smooth, stunning visage
While by no means a new trend, face shaving for women has gotten a pretty bad rep over time. From the fear of hair growing back coarser to the dangers of cutting your face, it seems that apart from a few loyalists, most women steer clear of shaving their face. Recently though, this method seems to have garnered staunch followers, who claim that they owe their younger-looking skin to it. With celebrities, beauty bloggers and facialists jumping onto the bandwagon, we get experts to decode the art of shaving your face.
Before the shave
Virginia Holmes, co-owner and co-founder, Fat Mu, advises asking your clients why, before grabbing hold of a razor. For those who would rather avoid the pain and hassle of face waxing or threading sessions, face shaving could be worth looking into. But your client needs to be aware that once they start shaving their face, they need to maintain it. “I recommend face shaving only for fine, fuzzy hair. If someone has thick, dark hair, I would recommend laser hair removal, as just a few sessions provide long term hair reduction,” says Dr Apratim Goel, dermatologist and laser surgeon, Cutis Skin Studio, Mumbai.
