First-time guide for first-time guys
A Manzilian is the male Brazilian — full hair removal from the front, scrotum, perineum, and between the buttocks. It's normal, professional, and increasingly common. Here's exactly what happens, what it costs, and how to prep.
What's Actually Removed
Your choice of three:
- • Full Manzilian: everything — front, scrotum, perineum, between cheeks. The standard.
- • Landing strip / racing stripe: small rectangle of hair left in front, rest fully removed.
- • "Boyzilian": front and scrotum only; backside left natural. About 30% of clients choose this.
Pain — The Real Numbers
| Area | 1st visit (1–10) | 5th visit |
|---|---|---|
| Lower stomach | 2 | 1 |
| Front pubic | 6 | 3 |
| Scrotum | 8 | 4 |
| Perineum | 7 | 3 |
| Between cheeks | 5 | 2 |
Each strip is sharp for ~3 seconds, then gone. The whole service is 30–40 minutes.
Cost (Atlanta)
- • Manzilian (first visit): $50
- • Manzilian (returning, every 4 weeks): $75
- • Add chest: +$45
- • Add full back & shoulders: +$65
- • Add lower stomach (treasure trail): +$15
Prep Checklist (24 Hours Before)
- • Trim down to 1/2 inch with safety scissors if hair is over an inch. (Salon will do it; pre-trimming saves time.)
- • Exfoliate the night before with a gentle body scrub.
- • Shower before — clean skin, no cologne, no body lotion in the area.
- • Ibuprofen 400mg, 30 min before.
- • No coffee / energy drinks that morning. Caffeine amplifies pain.
- • Loose underwear to wear home (cotton boxers, not tight briefs).
What Happens in the Room
- 1. Brief intake — meds, skin conditions, prior waxing.
- 2. Cleanse the area with antiseptic.
- 3. Lying on back, knees up — esthetician works front, then scrotum (you'll be asked to hold skin taut).
- 4. Roll onto side or hands and knees for perineum and between cheeks.
- 5. Tweeze strays, apply soothing oil, you're done.
Total: 30–40 minutes.
After-Care (Critical First 48 Hours)
- • No sex / masturbation for 24–48 hours.
- • No gym, sauna, hot tub, swimming for 24 hours.
- • Loose cotton boxers only.
- • Start exfoliating day 3 to prevent ingrowns.
- • Re-book at 4 weeks for the easiest next visit.
