Japan's extreme summer heat is driving a surge in demand for men's body hair removal, with grooming clinics reporting growing interest in treatments beyond the face. The trend comes as Japanese men increasingly embrace shorts and lighter clothing during brutally hot summers, with temperatures reaching a national record of 41.8°C (107.2°F) last year. More than a quarter of men surveyed by Japan's Hot Pepper Beauty booking platform said they had undergone lower-leg hair removal in the past year. #japan #bodyhair #grooming #viral #news
