UK women considering or having laser hair removal: would you book with a male practitioner?

[Laserpractitioner]

Hi everyone, I’m a qualified male laser hair removal practitioner planning to open a clinic for men and women in the UK. I’d appreciate your honest opinions:

● Would you feel comfortable booking with a male practitioner?

● Would it depend on the area, for example, underarms or legs versus bikini/Hollywood?

● Would meeting the practitioner first, female client reviews, a female chaperone or bringing a friend along to the appointment influence your decision? Or would you prefer a female practitioner regardless?

If you’ve had treatment with a male practitioner, how was your experience?

All honest answers are welcome. Thank you!

No sorry

With a chaperone

Yes, but not for bikini/brazilian.

My initial reaction was no but i think that stems from my preference for the familiar. Thinking about it logically, I see no reason why a man can’t carry out my beauty treatments, so yes, I would.

yes I would. I'm not squeamish about this stuff. I want who is best, not who is female or male as a decision point

there are some very famous male beauty / massage etc experts know for their rigour in getting women the look they want

No chance.

Absolutely not, because of past truma i do not see male gynecologists so there is no way I'd opt for a male practitoner

Never

No, sorry.

No.

And it would be regardless of anything like bringing a friend etc.
I wouldn't feel threatened but I wouldn't feel at all comfortable.

Absolutely for most of the body but not for bikini area- I am more uncomfortable with that than I would be with a male gynaecologist (which I know doesn’t make much sense)

I wouldn't mind if it was my legs/arms/armpits. I would be too embarrassed for anyone to laser my privates, and given the swelling that I had on my face, I wouldn't want it between my legs 😳

No self respecting woman would do.

Why put yourself in danger?

No way.

No - not even for the face or lower legs.

you will need very good insurance and a robust complaints process if you go ahead - I think it is very risky for you - even with friends present

Face/chin-yes
Armpits-yes

Below the waist-NOPE

No
