Men Like Pampering Too #SummerOfGroupon

This post brought to you by Summer of Groupon. All opinions are 100% mine.

So my husband was perusing Groupon‘s Summer Shop recently when I left the site open on my laptop. We recently found a lot of great deals for massages, family activities, great restaurants, and I even indulged in a mini-mom makever that left me feeling so awesome that when he asked if he could do some fun things too, I was all “yeah!” because, well, why not? There is enough fun to go around.

So in addition to fulfilling his dream of driving a ferrari, my husband enjoyed a mini-makeover too. He is a hairy guy (or would be if he wasn’t always shaving) and is just tired of it, and always wanted laser hair removal. It’s generally a little expensive, so with a laser hair removal deal I found on Groupon, I booked his first laser hair removal session, the first of many, because he wants to really do this, and not have to spend hours a week shaving anymore.

Even though he is pretty hairy, I never minded. He minds because he wears a vest for work under his clothes and the vest rubbing against the hair just really bothered him and mandated that he remove it constantly for comfort. So off he went for his first session.

Here is his before and after:

Just kidding. Actually, we won’t see the results of what will hopefully be significant hair reduction for at least several months, but I can show you his real before and after, which shows the redness that is common from laser hair removal right after treatment (but temporary- after a few hours it’s usually gone).

If you have a great husband too who wants to be pampered or treated to a bit of a makeover too, it’s really not a bad idea to look and see what is offered in Groupon‘s Summer Shop, especially when you can find a great deal for something that he has really always wanted to feel better. His laser technician was super nice to him and made sure he was comfortable, and she went above and beyond and didn’t just laser his chest, but part of his shoulders as well since the whole area irritated him (what a nice lady!).

Have you surprised your husband lately with something he might love?

  • I asked my boyfriend if he’d be interested in this, and sadly he said no. lol

  • Penelope

    Lol…some men like to be hairy 🙂 I actually love my husband’s 5 o’clock shadow, but he wants to laser his face too! (He hates shaving, he has to do it daily because it grows so fast and thick)

  • My hubby is barely hairy at all. But, my brothers are hairy baboons, lol! And they are always shaving.

  • I love that there are services for men too.

  • OH how I wish my husband would get this done on his face. He can be hairy everywhere else and it doesn’t bother me a bit. In fact, I love a bit of chest hair, but I can’t stand facial hair. I love reading about your adventures and savings.

  • I like a little hairy. 🙂 I think my husband would do it if I wanted him, too. Was it painful?

  • Penelope

    Yes! He said he had to keep asking the technician to pause because it hurt so much.

  • I hate shaving. I would love to get laser hair removal. It’s just not in my budget right now.

  • Penelope

    When you are closer, check out Groupon because they offer 3 sessions for the price of one so it will go farther with one of their deals. I had it done years back and haven’t shaved my legs or underarms in years, it’s amazingly freeing!

  • OH how neat, glad to see he enjoyed pampering! I always wondered if that would hurt or not!

  • I’ve had laser hair removal and when I was coming up on going for a year every 6-8 weeks I stopped going. The majority of the hair is gone but not completely gone it is on my list of things to do, to go back and finish the treatments. I had a “for life” so I can go back any time to finish. This just reminds me that I need too.

  • I have always wanted to do this. A Groupon would be a great way to get started. Thank you to your husband for sharing!

  • I’m happy that everybody is able to take advantage of the great deals on Groupon. I don’t think I could talk my husband into that though. What is the pain factor like?

  • Penelope

    Painful 🙂 He really wanted to do it though. I definitely didn’t push it!

  • Love that Groupon offers pampering deals for men not only women.
