Facials · Waxing · Laser · Massage · Brow tidy & Nails — Lambton Quay
Around a third of Glowe Aesthetics' regular clients are men. We have a focused male grooming offering — proper men's facials, full-body waxing and laser, deep-tissue and recovery massage, brow tidy and nail care — delivered in the same private treatment rooms with the same clinical hygiene standards we apply across every service.
Walkable from every CBD office on Lambton Quay. Quick services like brow tidy, ear waxing or beard-line care slot into a lunch break; longer treatments like full-body laser or back-and-chest waxing are best booked outside peak hours. Late appointments outside business hours are available by booking.

Male skin is thicker, oilier and tends to deal with daily shaving — which means it benefits from different cleansing, exfoliation and hydration than a standard facial protocol. Our Elixir Men's Facial is designed specifically for that: deeper pore cleansing, shave-friendly exfoliation, beard-line care, and a calming finish for post-shave irritation.
Male clients also book our standard Hydra Facial ($199) for event-prep glow, or work through Nimue prescription facials ($150–$180) when targeting a specific concern like pigmentation, ageing or breakouts.
Professional-grade wax, experienced technicians, private rooms. From a quick brow tidy or ear wax in your lunch break through to back, chest and full Menzilian. Considering a longer-term solution? Look at our laser hair removal options too — many male clients alternate between waxing for one-off events and laser as the long-term plan.
Aftercare tip: avoid hot showers, saunas, gym sessions and tight clothing for 24 hours post-wax. Gentle exfoliation 2–3 times a week prevents ingrown hairs.
Per-session pricing. Most clients require 6–8 sessions for permanent reduction.
Laser hair removal at Glowe targets the hair follicle directly, reducing regrowth permanently over a course of 6 to 8 sessions. Best results come from darker hair against lighter skin, but modern laser systems can treat a wider range of skin and hair combinations than older devices — we confirm suitability with a patch test at consultation.
Most male clients we see book either back, chest, or chest-and-stomach packages. Full body courses bundle these together at material savings over single-area pricing.
See the full laser hair removal page for protocol details, what to expect, and pre/post-care advice.
Most male massage bookings at Glowe fall into three patterns: deep tissue for office-related shoulder and lower-back tension; sports massage for recovery between training blocks or after events; and the lunchtime back-and-shoulder for the in-and-out 30-minute reset.
Our therapists are experienced with male anatomy and pressure preferences — we'll dial pressure up or down based on what you actually want from the hour, not what a script says.
View All Massage OptionsMost male brow clients want something tidied, not styled. Our therapists do brow tidies that remove strays and clean up the underline without changing the natural shape — you should look like yourself, not "groomed". Threading is the most precise option; waxing is faster.
Glowe is one of the few Wellington salons offering fully medical-grade nail services: single-use files per client (retained for your next visit or taken away), hospital-grade sterilisation of metal instruments, copper bowls instead of whirlpool spa chairs, and LED-only gel lights. Suitable for diabetic clients and anyone who values clinical hygiene.
Pedicures are particularly popular with male clients — particularly the callus peel and signature paraffin foot treatment combo for clients on their feet all day.
Yes — Glowe Aesthetics has a dedicated male grooming offering covering facials (Elixir Men's Facial), full body waxing, laser hair removal, massage, brow tidy and nail care. Around 30% of our regular clients are men.
The Elixir Men's Facial at Glowe is $199 — designed specifically for male skin with deeper cleanse, shave-friendly exfoliation, beard-line care and post-shave irritation calming. Our standard Hydra Facial ($199) and Nimue treatments ($150) are also popular with male clients.

Yes — we're open Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 7pm. Late appointments outside those hours are available by booking. Quick services (eyebrow, ear waxing, beard-line tidy) fit comfortably into a lunch break; longer services like full-body waxing or laser sessions are best booked outside peak business hours.
Same-week appointments are usually available, but evening and Saturday slots book out fastest. We recommend booking 5–7 days ahead for longer treatments or weekend timing. Online booking via Fresha is the quickest way to find a time.
Waxing is one-off, lasts 3–5 weeks, and works on any hair colour. Laser is a course of treatments aiming at permanent reduction, works best on darker hair against lighter skin, and costs more upfront but less over time. If you want immediate, occasional treatment — waxing. If you're committed to long-term removal — laser.
Quick services fit a lunch break; longer ones book best outside peak hours.
