Home ill with That Cold, today.
You know the cold I mean, 'cause you've already had it, and for all I know, YOU GAVE IT TO ME.
Anyway, I don't much feel like being funny/clever/bloggy, but felt I had to share with you this horror wax story that a fellow beauty editor, Shones, emailed me. (Thanks Shones.)
It's not the first gnarly waxing tale I've heard; there are so many nasty, nasty unfair things that can happen if the hygiene or waxing capabilities of the waxer is rubbish. Bad things. Life-threatening things. Amputation things.
So let this be a lesson that a cheap, quick wax is never worth it. Spend 20 clams more and get it done right.
Let this also be a lesson that if you feel the girl doing you is doing it wrong, (it's hurting, she's shaking and sweating and praying under her breath) speak up and ask for the manager to take over. Alternatively, simply slap her on the forehead, put your clothes back on and leave.
(If anyone wants the number for my waxer, who is The Best Waxer in The Universe, email me.)
It's quite shocking to read about news of a woman who nearly died because of Brazilian wax. Before going through any hair wax treatment, it's best to consult your doctor. People with diabetes take more time to get their wounds healed. Along the way, they can be extremely vulnerable to infections. If she only consulted her doctor before going through hair waxing, she could've been recommended a better alternative. This story is truly eye-opening.

Back to the wax....this is an extreme case, but awful all the same...I guess with such a delicate area, there is gonna be certain risks...right???..talk to your B therapist or waxer, in most cases I would think the person you allow to wax your bits has done your legs, underarms etc ....

erm - doesn't that particular linked story detail how the woman has a compromised immune system and that that was whence the damage occured? I didn't read it as an unhygenic waxer story. perhaps I need to read it again

Just wanted to add to my last post Fruity re the rude boy wax. I have to say totally off the topic, but I was just randomly checking some of your old blogs and I read the Save Your Fricken Skin post and I have to say I was so pleased to read that!! Do you know, well you do, how hard it is to explain that to people ?? My hubby still doesn't get the whole SPF x time thing and has been with me for nine years worth of summers where I have tried to explain that!!! I LIKE IT GIRL!

As a beauty therapist and bikini waxer I hear lots of horrific stories but none compare to my biggest nightmare when I was waxing a guys bits and he enjoyed it a bit too much.... if you know what I mean?! Right there in my beauty room!!Spontaneously?! I nearly vomited!I still can't think of it without a little shudder of revulsion down my spine! Needless to say I now only provide waxing to guys that I know!
