What Is a Manzilian Wax? Cost, Pain Level & What to Expect
What Is a Manzilian?
A Manzilian (also called a "Brozilian" or "Boyzilian") is the male version of a Brazilian wax. It removes all hair from the male pubic area — front, back, and everything in between. It's the most popular men's grooming service in our Atlanta salons, and it's growing fast.
Why Men Get Manzilian Waxes
The Manzilian has gone from niche to mainstream. Here's why more men are choosing professional waxing over shaving:
Cleaner Feel
Many men report feeling significantly cleaner and more confident. Less hair means less sweat and odor, especially in Atlanta's humid climate.
Long-Lasting Results
Results last 3-6 weeks vs. 1-2 days with shaving. No razor burn, no stubble, no daily maintenance.
No Razor Irritation
Shaving sensitive areas causes ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and itching. Waxing eliminates these issues entirely.
What to Expect During Your Manzilian
Consultation
Your esthetician will discuss your preferences — full removal or a modified style. They'll explain the process and answer any questions. Complete privacy and professionalism are guaranteed.
Preparation
The area is cleansed and a light powder is applied to protect the skin. Hard wax is heated to the optimal temperature — never too hot.
The Wax
Hard wax is applied in small sections and removed in the direction of hair growth. Your esthetician will guide you through simple position changes. The entire process takes 20-30 minutes.
Finishing
A soothing post-wax oil or lotion is applied to calm the skin. You'll receive aftercare instructions to maximize results and prevent ingrown hairs.
How to Prepare for Your First Manzilian
Let hair grow to at least 1/4 inch (about 2-3 weeks of growth from a shave)
Shower before your appointment for cleanliness and comfort
Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 2-3 hours before — they increase sensitivity
Take ibuprofen 30 minutes before if you're concerned about discomfort
Wear loose, breathable underwear (boxers are ideal) to your appointment
Exfoliate the area gently 24 hours before (not day-of)
Don't apply lotions, oils, or deodorant to the area before your appointment
Does a Manzilian Hurt? Let's Be Honest
Yes, there's some discomfort — but it's very manageable, and every session gets easier. Here's what to realistically expect:
Pain level 4-6/10. The front area is most sensitive. Hard wax makes it significantly more bearable than strip wax. Most men say "that wasn't as bad as I expected."
Pain level 3-4/10. Hair grows back finer and thinner, making removal much easier. You'll notice a big difference from your first session.
Pain level 2-3/10. Long-term clients barely flinch. Hair is sparse and fine. Many clients relax or even scroll their phones during the session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Manzilian wax?
A Manzilian wax is the male equivalent of a Brazilian wax. It involves removing all hair from the pubic region, including the front, between the buttocks, and the perineal area. Some men opt for a modified Manzilian that leaves a small strip or triangle of hair in front.
How much does a Manzilian wax cost?
At Magical Waxing, a Manzilian wax costs $50. A male bikini wax (less coverage) starts at $35. Prices vary by salon, but our pricing is competitive for the Atlanta market and includes premium hard wax for maximum comfort.
Does a Manzilian wax hurt?
The first Manzilian is the most uncomfortable, but it's very tolerable. We use premium hard wax specifically designed for sensitive areas, which is significantly gentler than strip wax. Most clients rate the pain at 4-6 out of 10 for the first session. Subsequent sessions are progressively less painful as hair grows back thinner.
How long does a Manzilian wax take?
A Manzilian wax typically takes 20-30 minutes from start to finish. Our experienced estheticians work efficiently to minimize discomfort and time on the table.
How do I prepare for a Manzilian wax?
Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about 2-3 weeks of growth). Shower before your appointment. Avoid caffeine and alcohol beforehand as they increase sensitivity. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before if desired. Wear loose, comfortable underwear.
Can I request a male technician for my Manzilian?
Yes! At Magical Waxing, we have certified male technicians available at select locations. Request one when booking if that makes you more comfortable. All our technicians — male and female — are trained professionals who prioritize your comfort and privacy.
