What's new pussycat?
Yesterday I accomplished another first. I got a bikini wax!
I must be one of the last women on earth to do this but I've always been afraid to do it. And as it turns out - I had a good reason to be petrified. As I was lying on the table feeling as though the procedure would never end, I thought to myself - this must be what a scalping feels like...
And to make matters worse, it took approx. an hour! (and yes I abbreviated that because I don't know how to spell approx.) And I know what you all are thinking. I must have had a lot of hair to remove, right? So what! I've always felt comfortable with my protective patch. It's like a shield and plus it helps prevent chafing.
Anyway, enough about my now naked pussycat with the ultra sexy landing strip. Yes, I did not opt for the brazilian wax - I'm a beginner for crying out loud.
And boy did I cry out loud. But not for the obvious reason. What I objected to most was the salon's hygiene practices. Let me fill you in on how this place operates.
The first thing they did was wax my eyebrows. I noticed that they retrieved the wax from a "community" bowl with a spatula that was already waiting beside it. Afterwards she clips stray eyebrow hairs with a pair of scissors. OK.
After getting my nails done, they escort me back to the same room where I got my eyebrows waxed. When she begins the bikini waxing procedure, she brings over the SAME "community" bowl of wax and the SAME spatula she used for the eyebrows! When she trims my landing strip she uses the SAME scissors!
It doesn't take much to figure out that she wasn't gonna throw out that "community" bowl when the next person came in for an eyebrow wax. If I start to grow pubic hair on my eyebrows I'm throwing a trash can through that salon's window.
Was it worth the pain? Yes. But I'm definitely going to a different salon for my next treatment. Suggestions anyone?
