The wish to remove hair and show beautiful skin is not women’s alone.
Many men value a clean-groomed look, or are bothered by being hairier than others.
This article introduces KADOMORI’s recommended hair-removal treatments and their benefits — if you want to try hair removal but are still hesitating, do read on.
Men’s Hair Removal Today
Did you know that in recent years, more and more men have been visiting hair-removal salons?
The men’s hair-removal market has grown 1.8-fold in the past four years.
Beauty-conscious men are on the rise, and among Gen Z, terms like men’s skin care and men’s makeup have taken root.
More men are choosing hair removal to show their skin at its best.
And of course, some — just like women — simply don’t want to spend time on daily upkeep.
By area, beard removal is especially popular.
In surveys, “daily shaving is a hassle” is the most common reason, with many starting out to prevent skin trouble or to look well-groomed.
The areas being treated have also gradually shifted.
Beards used to be the focus, but recently more men request V-line hair removal as a matter of etiquette — awareness of intimate-area care is rising too.
Only About 10% of Men Have Tried Hair Removal
So how many men have actually had hair removal?
Ads for men-only hair-removal salons are now a common sight, and home hair-removal devices for men keep multiplying.
Yet only about 10% of men have actually tried it.
Most are in their 20s and 30s — and even in the largest group, men in their 20s, surveys put the figure at 16%.
Among those interested but inexperienced, the most common reason across ages 20–40 is “money,” at 60–70% — many worry about treatment prices.
Among men in their 50s, meanwhile, “going is too much hassle” tops the list at about 40%.
“No time” is the second most common reason overall, and the share who feel “embarrassed” about hair removal grows with age.

Nearly 80% of Women Prefer Men Without Unwanted Hair
In a survey of 332 women about men’s hair removal, 67.2% answered “better without unwanted hair than with it” and 11.4% “unwanted hair should be gone” — meaning roughly 80% of women prefer men without unwanted hair.
More than 80% also viewed men’s beard removal favorably, and over half of women even viewed men’s VIO hair removal favorably.
That said, the survey found women are not asking men for whole-body hair removal — just the areas that stand out.
The top three areas women most want men to treat: beard, chest, and stomach.
As for regret: in surveys asking whether men ever regretted hair removal, most regrets involved choosing the wrong salon or clinic — paying too much, or getting less effect than hoped.
But almost no men regretted the hair being gone itself.
All of which shows that choosing the right salon matters enormously.
What Are the Benefits of Men’s Hair Removal?
So what advantages does men’s hair removal offer?
Here they are, concretely.
It Saves Grooming Time
The first advantage: saving the time spent on daily self-shaving.
For example, shave your beard for 50 years from age 20, and 10 minutes × 365 days × 50 years comes to roughly 3,041 hours — about 126 full days.
Those with heavy beards add evening touch-ups on top.
By contrast, hair removal takes just 8–12 hours in total: about one hour per session at a typical salon, over 8–12 sessions.
With hair removal, you are freed from the morning shave, dramatically cutting the time spent on self-grooming.
No More Skin Trouble
Keep up self-shaving with razors and shavers, and razor burn and dryness make skin trouble more likely.
Even today’s popular hair-removal creams often cause irritation from their chemical agents — not ideal for sensitive skin.
With professional hair removal, self-shaving becomes unnecessary, and you can expect to be freed from these skin troubles.
A Cleaner, Groomed Impression
Removing beard and body hair heightens the sense of grooming and improves how others see you.
More and more women reportedly find beard, underarm, and leg hair off-putting.
Reducing unwanted hair thus raises your standing with women, friends, and colleagues alike.
Hair removal also handles hard-to-reach spots cleanly, without the prickle of self-shaving — another advantage.
And treating the underarms and intimate areas helps prevent sweat-trapped humidity and unpleasant odor.
Even if going completely smooth feels like too much, you can simply thin the amount — more and more men treat hair removal as basic grooming.
For Men’s Hair Removal in Shinsaibashi: KADOMORI’s “Ion Hair Removal”
If you are looking for men’s hair removal around Shinsaibashi, please come to KADOMORI.
KADOMORI’s ion hair removal allows simultaneous iontophoresis during hair removal — a method that lets a dedicated beauty gel penetrate deeply into the skin.
Because it uses an iontophoresis function, skin care happens at the same time as hair removal.
Now that hair removal has gone mainstream, it is popular with many models precisely because it delivers skin-beautifying benefits too.
What Benefits Can You Expect from Ion Hair Removal?
What can our recommended ion hair removal do? We explain in detail below.
Hair Removal with Minimal Pain
A rapid-fire device applies light while a sub-zero frosted head cools the skin — with almost no pain or heat, the whole body can be treated in about 45 minutes.
Those sensitive to pain, and intimate areas, can be treated with confidence.
The light’s heat load on the skin, and treatment-related skin trouble, are also greatly reduced.
It works on everything from stubborn, distinctly male hair to fine vellus hair, handling every thickness of unwanted hair.
The skin-beautifying effect is also strong — many feel a silky smoothness right after treatment.
Tighter Pores
Pores that grow thick, coarse hair — like beard hair — are correspondingly larger and more visible.
Self-shaving with razors also burdens the skin: it scrapes away the surface’s protective layer, drying the skin and sometimes opening the pores.
With hair removal, the pore space tightens accordingly — pores become less visible, and smooth, even skin comes within reach.
Hydrated, Translucent Skin
Because iontophoresis runs alongside the hair removal, your skin feels more hydrated and translucent than before.
Moisturize well after your sessions too, and you will keep dryness away and edge closer to your ideal skin.
Another Recommended Treatment: “Black Peeling”
If you want your pores tighter still, or the grime cleared out, Black Peeling is the recommendation.
It also suits those bothered not just by pores but by rough-feeling or dull skin.
More than a peel alone — we check your skin under a microscope and finish by calming it with an MT pack.
What Benefits Can You Expect from Black Peeling?
What does Black Peeling do? Here are the benefits that make it ideal skin care after ion hair removal.
Deep Pore Cleansing
The black peeling gel — fine particles made primarily of charcoal — is worked into the pores; light is then applied, removing pore grime and tightening the pores.
Preventing and Improving Acne
It suppresses the activity of the acne and malassezia bacteria that cause breakouts, building skin where acne struggles to form. It also improves rough texture and brightens the skin’s tone.
Smoother Makeup Application
Men’s makeup has been spreading in recent years, centered on younger men in their 20s and 30s.
Many men wear makeup for a clean-groomed look or to cover their concerns.
It is no surprise that men who wear makeup often want hair removal too.
Once the shadow of shaved beard and the unwanted hair are gone, makeup goes on far more easily.
Removal above the lip and on the chin is especially popular, with more men feeling their makeup finishes better.
For men who want to stay on trend, hair removal is likewise recommended.
