Male grooming trends and techniques
Q: What are the most popular grooming trends for men in 2025? Any specific styles or techniques that are gaining popularity?
A: This year, it’s exciting to see so many men embracing laser hair removal! It’s a fantastic option for achieving those sharp jawlines and smooth necks without the hassle of constant upkeep. Plus, it’s perfect for anyone who prefers a low-maintenance grooming routine. We’re also noticing a rise in customized facials tailored just for men’s skin. Treatments like deep-cleansing sessions and hydrating recovery facials are becoming super popular, helping guys look and feel their best. It’s all about finding what works for you and enjoying the process.
Q: How has technology influenced men’s grooming products and routines?
A: Technology is transforming men’s grooming! With AI-powered trimmers and personalized skincare routines, achieving great results has never been easier. Plus, innovative options like laser hair removal and custom facials are making grooming more effective and accessible. It’s all about looking and feeling your best with less effort!
Q: Are there ingredients in grooming products that men should be aware of?
A: Definitely! Key ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides have become essential in men’s skincare, providing hydration without heaviness. Conversely, alcohol-based astringents and synthetic fragrances are being discarded due to their potential for irritation. At Nude Beautique, we focus on clean, high-performance formulas that are crucial for skin health, especially after treatments like waxing or laser sessions.
Q: What products would you include in a basic male grooming kit?
A: Keeping it simple is key! A basic male grooming kit should include 5 essentials: a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer (with SPF as a must), a precision trimmer or razor, a hydrating serum or balm for post-shave care and evening use, and a deodorant made with skin-friendly ingredients. These will cover all your grooming needs!
Hair removal insights for men
Q: What are the most effective hair removal methods for men in 2025?
A: Laser hair removal remains the gold standard for long-term results, particularly for areas like the back, chest, and neckline. Waxing is still favoured for its precision and smooth finish, especially for brows and intimate areas. It’s important to go with salons that offer pain-minimized waxing techniques and FDA-approved laser systems that ensure results with minimal downtime.
Q: How does laser hair removal work, and is it safe for all skin types?
A: Laser hair removal targets the pigment in hair follicles with concentrated light, effectively disabling future growth. Thanks to advancements such as triple-wavelength lasers and cooling systems, this treatment is now safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin and darker complexions.
Q: How does one choose the right hair removal method?
A: The choice depends on individual goals. Laser is ideal for permanent hair reduction and low-maintenance grooming, whereas waxing offers immediate smoothness and precision for shaping. While shaving is often suggested for quick touch-ups. And make sure to apply fragrance free moisturising products post-shave to avoid irritation.
Q: What before- and after-care are needed for hair removal treatments?
A: Before undergoing laser hair removal treatment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and self-tanners, and for optimal waxing results, ensure that your hair is at least ¼ inch long when you visit the salon. Be sure to inform your therapist of any medications or recent health changes.
After the treatment, refrain from sun exposure and activities such as swimming or using saunas for 24-48 hours to reduce irritation. Opt for loose-fitting clothing to minimize friction, and it’s recommended to gently exfoliate your skin a week after the treatment.
Recommended male grooming treatments at Nude Waxing Beautique
Waxing and laser hair removal services
As a pioneer in Brazilian waxing in Hong Kong since 2007, Nude Waxing Beautique continues to reign as the go-to salon for comfortable and effective hair removal treatments. For those looking for immediate and short-term results, opt for waxing. Using a specially formulated wax tailored to male waxing, Nude’s treatments are painless and fast, resulting in smooth skin that will last for weeks.
But if, like me, your pain tolerance is fairly low, I suggest giving laser treatments a try. Using only the best medical-grade & FDA approved devices for laser hair removal, including Candela GentleLase and the most advanced triple wavelengths diode laser, Nude’s systems are clinically proven to give visible results in as little as 5 sessions, a much faster rate than IPL and other laser systems in the market.
Whichever way you go, the highly skilled beauty therapists will take great care of you by tailoring experiences best suited to your needs.
Personalised facials designed for male skin
To achieve optimal skin health, targeted facial treatments can significantly enhance and maintain the smoothness and radiance of your skin.

The salon partners exclusively with award-winning international luxury skincare brands, including Elemis, Resultime and Exuviance, and maximises the effectiveness of high-performing products by employing state-of-the-art bio-electric technology used in the revolutionary Elemis BIOTEC facials.
