Happy November everyone! I want to make this blog entry as upfront and honest about waxing as it possibly can be. There are so many assumptions, reservations and questions when it comes to anything and everything  about  waxing. I'd like to address some of these points in hopes to ease new AND repeat waxers, and this is straight from the horses... or Aestheticians mouth!

First point, you probably wonder what us waxers are thinking when we are "down there" waxing your lady parts. Please know that we have seen it all, all day, every day, so nothing you have is any different than anyone else's, nor do we judge/critique or actually even NOTICE anything on your body. What we are seeing is your hair, the way it grows, and determining what is the quickest, easiest, and least painful way to remove that hair. And when we come out of your treatment room, waxers do not discuss their clients bodies and/or "goods". We have a personal relationship with each client and we respect that relationship!

Just like we've seen it all, you also, are "not the worst". Many clients ask, "is this the most hair you've seen?" or "am i the biggest baby?" Well, no, you aren't. We have been doing this for a while, and there's always somebody that's worse. I even get the dreaded question, "is anyone really, yknow, bad?" And we both know what this means, and yes, some women can be. To prevent being one of these women, we always suggest that our ladies always take the necessary steps to freshen up before your appointments. Simple bikini wipes are always necessary to help your waxer do her job well. Whether you think you need to freshen up or not, it is a small courtesy for your waxer, and it will avoid the embarrasment of having her send you to the bathroom to clean up your front OR backside.

Like I said, we have waxed it all. But I also mean to say, that we've waxed it all! All body parts and random hairs have been waxed and tweezed. Do not be scared to ask for a weird patch to be cleaned up! From nipples, ears, nostrils, hairlines, knuckes, happytrails, backs, chins, everything! If you can grow it, we can wax it.

Another important point to make is that your waxer only has control over your skin while you are in the salon. Once you leave, you may do damage to your skin by simply neglecting cleanliness. A story I recently heard was of a woman who had been waxing for a number of years. She came to get waxed like usual, then called 5 days later complaining that the wax had given her some sort of infection. Soon to find out, her infection was traced back to her new boyfriend. He had a staph infection on one of his finernails and passed the infection to her. Your skin is extra sensitive to bacteria and infection within 24 hours of your waxing, so it is very important to always protect your lady-parts, no matter what touches it! We do our job by keeping clean supplies and not double-dipping, make sure to do your part too!
