Just wanted to take some time to write about my latest waxing experience and give some tips so the same thing doesn't EVER happen to you!
First a gross picture... this is my underarm... so sad... So, this is what happens to people that makes them NEVER want to get waxed ever again!
#1 The wax was too hot
#2 Waxed over the area multiple times
#3 Hair wasn't pulled opposite direction of growth
I have been waxing a long time, and have NEVER done this to anyone.
Some tips and questions to ask a new person to avoid this:
How long have they been waxing? Unfortunately for the newbies, but the longer the better, at least a year
Hard or Strip wax? Preferably hard wax on the face, underarms and bikini area. Strip wax for larger areas/less sensitive, arms & legs.
--If your esthetician is going over an area more than 2 times, ask her to stop
--If the wax feels too hot on your skin it probably is, tell your esthetician
--Waxing should be like wasabi, hot at first, and no lingering pain, if there is lingering pain something is wrong
--Make sure your esthetician is using a clean stick for each dip in the wax, NO DOUBLE DIPPING!!!
You are probably wondering why I didn't ask these things or make the esthetician stop? I was under the impression she knew what she was doing. Most of the time they do, but don't be afraid to ask questions and be an advocate for yourself!
