Men also like beauty

Diversified services

For over a year now, to lose weight, Mr. LVT in Viet Hoa ward (Hai Duong city) has been going to the gym (indoor sports) with a schedule of 3 sessions/week. After a period of practicing according to the trainer's regimen combined with a scientific diet, Mr. T's weight has significantly decreased. "Before, I did not pay attention to my appearance, while eating according to my preferences, leading to my weight exceeding the regulations, especially my belly. Many times I felt self-conscious, so I decided to change myself. Now, my body is much lighter, I can move and walk easily and comfortably, and I can wear many of my favorite outfits," said Mr. T.

Like women, men also have many different ways to beautify themselves depending on their needs and preferences such as: bodybuilding, skin care, eyelid surgery, lip surgery, eyebrow tattooing, hair removal, jaw surgery, teeth whitening, etc. Mr. NVN in Cam Phuc commune (Cam Giang) regularly takes care of his skin and hair removal. He bought a care package worth more than 3 million VND from a spa (treatment care) in Cam Giang district. Mr. N. said that due to the nature of his job, he often had to stay up late and work at night, so his face had a lot of acne. He bought medicine to treat it himself but it did not go away, the acne grew thicker, there were many deep acne, the skin was dark and scarred, and his face was even pitted. Mr. N. felt unconfident when communicating, so he decided to go to a spa. He was advised to use a herbal skin care package combined with acne treatment and hair removal. Mr. N. said: “After a period of use, the acne has visibly reduced, especially the large acne is gone. The beard is also neatly trimmed, grows slowly, and does not have to be shaved as often as before.”

Demand increases

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, owner of LAN Beauty Center (Hai Duong City) said that in the past 3-4 years, the demand for men's beauty has increased. In the past, very few men came to get beauty treatments or if they did, they were mainly teenagers who came to get acne treatment. Recently, the concept of beauty has changed, so the number of men coming to the spa has increased significantly. Currently, the facility welcomes 40-50 men each month, accounting for 30-40% of customers coming to get beauty treatments. The services that men choose are as diverse and rich as those of women, such as meridian clearing, skin care, hair removal, eyebrow tattooing, lip darkening removal, etc. Many people buy care packages lasting from 6 months to 1 year. "Recognizing that need, the facility has also expanded many services. Customers will be consulted on services suitable to their needs and physical condition to ensure the most effective care and beauty," said Ms. Lan.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong, owner of Phuong Anh Spa in Cam Giang, the number of men coming to her spa is also diverse, of many ages, accounting for about 30% of the total number of people coming to beautify. The services they use are also very diverse, there are people who understand each skin care process thoroughly and use high-end packages.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan added that taking care of and beautifying one's appearance is necessary and not exclusive to any gender. Like women, men who are beautiful will be more confident in communication and make an impression on others. However, beauty care also needs to be carefully selected, should go to reputable facilities, should not apply methods on their own or buy cosmetics floating on social networks, without clear origin. Because these cases are very dangerous, even affecting life and costing money.
