About Back Shave

Achieve smooth, hair-free skin with our professional Back Shave service at Manhattan Barbershop NYC's Chelsea location. This specialized grooming service removes unwanted back hair using professional techniques that deliver clean, comfortable results you can't achieve on your own. Many men struggle with back hair but find it impossible to groom effectively at home. Our experienced barbers make the process quick, efficient, and thorough. We begin with trimming if needed to reduce bulk, then apply premium shaving products and use professional razors or clippers to remove hair completely. We pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas like the shoulder blades and lower back, ensuring even, consistent results across your entire back. The service includes soothing aftercare to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs. A smooth back boosts confidence at the beach, pool, gym, or any situation where you're shirtless. Perfect before vacations, summer months, or for men who simply prefer smooth skin. This quick 20-minute service delivers professional results that last much longer than at-home attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use professional-grade razors or clippers depending on your preference, along with premium shaving products that create a protective barrier. Our barbers work with the grain of hair growth to minimize irritation, and we finish with soothing, alcohol-free aftercare products.

Results typically last 1-3 weeks depending on your hair growth rate and thickness. Most clients schedule back shaves every 2-4 weeks to maintain smooth skin, or before specific events like beach vacations, pool parties, or summer months.

Both have benefits! Shaving is quicker, less expensive, and painless. Waxing lasts longer (3-6 weeks) but involves more discomfort and higher cost. We currently offer shaving, which provides excellent results for clients who prefer less invasive hair removal.

Ingrown hairs can occur with any hair removal method, but professional technique significantly reduces this risk. We shave with the grain, use proper products, and provide aftercare recommendations. Exfoliating regularly at home also helps prevent ingrown hairs.

Yes! We use gentle products suitable for sensitive skin and can adjust our technique based on your needs. Let us know about any skin sensitivities during your appointment, and we'll customize the service accordingly.
