Remember that painful, but hilarious scene from
The-40-Year-Old Virgin where a very hairy Steve Carell gets his chest waxed? The one where he's yelling profanity as each strip is ripped off, leaving him looking like a sore, plucked chicken. Yes, waxing can be rough if you're new to it, but luckily in Hong Kong, we are blessed with top-notch spas, experienced beauticians, and user-friendly products to help us get prepped for summer - without the tears. We check out some of the best unisex waxing salons around.
Most of these spas are available on the spa and salon booking app,
