Ashley Robyb and Jonte are qualified in Barbering not Hairdressing. This means they haven’t had the training in any women’s hair and their qualification is fully focused on Beard Trims, Skin Fades and Cutthroat shaves, and Men's cuts. This being said, if a woman was to come in who wanted a “boyish” haircut we can absolutely do that for you (eg. Undercut, fresh cut). Robyn and Peter are both trained Hairdressers, so if they are rostered on, they will be more then happy to cut your hair

Certainly! You have the option to choose a specific barber for your appointment. We recommend making an advance booking if you have a particular barber in mind.

Once you've found your preferred barber, you can proceed with your booking.

If you happen to walk in without a prior reservation, we'll do our best to accommodate your request. However, please be aware that if there are multiple people waiting for the same barber, your wait time may be extended significantly as you'll be in line behind those patrons. If you find that the wait for your preferred barber is longer than you'd like, feel free to consider getting your haircut by another member of our team.

We're a close-knit group of barbers, each with our unique styles, but we all share the same dedication to providing our clients with the best possible barbering experience.

Yes! At Core Benefits Toowoomba, our barbers will always ask you if you would like you eyebrows trimed.

How frequently should I get my hair trimmed? It really depends on your hair type and the style you're rocking. A good rule of thumb is to consult with your barber for their expert advice on how often you should be booking in to keep your hairstyle looking its best.

Make sure your hair's at least 5 to 10 millimeters long for the wax to take hold properly. If your hair's on the coarser side, you'll want to lean towards the 10-millimeter end for your initial waxes. As you wax more regularly and your hair starts to thin out, you can get by with a little less length. Plan to give it about 2 to 3 weeks after you've shaved to reach the optimal length for waxing.

No need to trim before your waxing session. If your hair’s longer than 5mm, we'll take care of it before we start. Leave it to us — if you take a crack at it yourself, you might cut it too short. Let the pros handle it to make sure it's the right length for the best waxing results.

Feeling the warm wax on your skin can be surprisingly pleasant. Of course, waxing isn’t as soothing as getting a massage, but most guys report that the discomfort isn’t as intense as they expected. The real battle is often with the anticipation rather than the treatment itself. First-timers adapt to the sensation pretty fast and usually find themselves relaxing after the initial few minutes.

To make your waxing experience smoother, don't rush into your appointment. Pick a day when you're feeling chill and not wiped out. Being in a calm and rested state can make a world of difference to your waxing session.

For optimal results, it's best to schedule your waxing sessions every 4 to 6 weeks. This timing allows the hair to grow to the ideal length for waxing and ensures the roots are fine enough for easier and more comfortable removal.

If you're new to waxing, aim for the four-week mark for your follow-up session. It often takes a few waxing appointments to achieve the smoothest results.

It's not uncommon to notice a few tiny spots after waxing, particularly if you're a rookie to the process. To keep this to a minimum, stick to the aftercare guidelines and use recommended after-wax products. As your skin gets more accustomed to waxing over time, you'll likely see fewer spots.

Preventing Spots and Ingrown Hairs:

To dodge the issue of spots and ingrown hairs, get into the habit of exfoliating with loofahs or scrubs. Follow up with products loaded with Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) or Salicylic acid. At Core Benefits we stock and recommend Depot No. 409 astringent stone regular use of these products is your best defense against these common post-waxing gripes.

Feeling a bit tense about trying intimate waxing because you're worried about popping a tent? At Core Benefits Toowoomba, we're all about serving the gents, and there's zero room for awkwardness here. Our pros have seen it all and handled it all with the utmost professionalism—years in the game mean they're unfazed and non-judgmental. Erections can happen; they're just a reflex to what’s going down (or coming off) and tend to pass as quick as they come up. Your therapist will keep things rolling smoothly and professionally. Just kick back and relax.

No chance. Waxing won’t ever send your hair follicles into overdrive. Actually, it’s the complete opposite. Stick to waxing regularly, and you’ll notice your hair game getting weaker—thinner and less rough around the edges. See, when you shave, you're just chopping down the hair at its thickest point, which is why you get that sandpapery feel pretty soon after. But waxing? That's pulling the renegade out by the roots. So when the new guy shows up, it’s all smooth sailing—finer and softer, no prickly comeback. And don't sweat the old wives' tales about hair growth—it's all down to your hormones, natural or otherwise.

Think of a Brazilian wax as the full monty of hair removal. It's all about getting rid of every bit of pubic hair, both front and back. We use peelable, hot wax for a smoother experience. And hey, if you don't want to go the full monty, you can choose to leave a neat tidied up hair on the pubic bone. It's all about your personal style.
