So Suzanne, you might want to look away. (You too Dad.)
Last night I went back to the salon and let’s see how quickly you guess which “service” I chose to have done.
I enter the quiet spa which is being subtly scented by soothing incense…
I lie down on a table and soon I feel warm, smooth wax being applied.
That feels nice. I think to myself.
Then I notice she’s pressed a soft cloth into the wax.
That also feels nice.
Then.
THE PAIN. AAAAHHHHGGGHHH. THE AGONY.
Repeat.
So how quickly did you guess what they were doing to me?
I’ve now discovered why the manicure/pedicure combo is so freaking cheap. They correctly figure that when you’re there you’ll grab a booklet announcing the other services they offer and you’ll return.
Apparently it worked because (unbelievably) the last things I said were “Thanks!” and “How often should I come back.”
So clearly they have something “special” in that incense.

Are you getting pretty for us at BlogHer? lol
It can be painful, but the results can be great! Just remember to loofah – nothing worse that an ingrown hair in the nether-regions.
Now, I’m thinking I need to get some work done before Chicago next week. ;)
Thank you for this very important public service announcement! I think, I may avoid allowing wax to be applied to my nether regions!!!
Eek! Was it bad? No, don’t tell me. I don’t want to think about it.
Eeek!
I’ll stick to growing dreads, thanks. :)
I’ve thought of doing that, but I keep hearing stories like yours. Yeah…no thanks!
I need to get mine done again…its been, um, a year now. But, I loved it after the pain subsided…I’ve just been to chicken to go back again!
This is why I stick to shaving. I’m scared to death of the pain. I’m such a weenie.
Tee hee…Love that post!
I love my brazilian…you get used to it. You really do…
YEEEEEEOUUCHHHHHHHHHHH! No one and I mean no one is waxing places I haven’t seen in decades!!
Took one for the team eh?
I will be lucky if I have time to shave my ankles!
Funny. I just went last week.
As I laid (layed? lain?) down I looked over at all the facial creams and thought, “god I wish I was having that done instead.”
But it’s just so good afterwards. And I swear it hurts a bit less every time. But then again so does hitting your hand with a hammer….
Great descriptive! I’m off to the store tomorrow to get a new razor. Hey, that’s a compromise, right ?!
:-)
Well, there go my fancy ideas of being hairless for the summer!!!
now mr plain needs a broziian
You are a very brave woman.
I love you, Karrie, for describing yourself as growing dreds. Although I do not begrudge Jane her personal preferences, I’ll be staying far away. I nearly cried with pain while yanking hairs out of my legs last week.
