abetterme4.2 268 Posted November 28, 2012 Wow thats a lot of hours sorry u had to due tests again. Its so nice to meet a fellow cosmetologist R u pre op or post? My date is Jan 8th. I am pre. My date is January 11! I'm so excited, as I'm sure you are, also. and a fellow cosmetologist!! At least I didn't have to take all the class hours again. That's what they stated initially but I appealed and it worked out. Taking the tests was the easy part. But, it's amazing the "textbook" material you don't account for daily. But, I passed them first time through and was grateful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeve_sister 110 Posted November 28, 2012 I got a Brazilian before my wedding day 7 yrs ago and it was awesome (not the experience but the effect.). Getting my shuns waxed hurt worse than the Brazilian. The lady did not make me feel very comfortable but it was well worth it. I would love to surprise my husband with it for our anniversary cruise in May. Hopefully I won't be as embarrassed then as u would now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LezzieLez 180 Posted November 28, 2012 Brazillian is the way to go! I used to go every 4 weeks but after the hair stopped growing as quick, I moved to 5-6 weeks. The hair must be at least 1/2" per my salon. If it is too long, then they will trim it. Also, some salons will offer some kind of cream to numb it a little. In my opinion, it wasn't worth it. The first time, I was a bit skeptical but these ladies are professional. I love the outcome and I am thinking about adding my armpits to the regimen. Oh, and wait 24hours before sex if possible. I believe my salon says no baths either for 24hrs (you can take a shower but don't scrub there) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted November 28, 2012 Yes, Brazillian is great. I only go downtown if the streets are clean. But when it's clean, I'll take my time & enjoy the scenery 8 Jessielynn, meinsasha, tjmom and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banned member 320 Posted November 29, 2012 Oh no...not to you. Sugaring is great. I just meat any licensed esthetician using the amber colored honey wax to perform a bikini wax....well that's insane. Lol I had that and it was a HORRIBLE experience. I had that with my very first wax and never went back. The other salon I went to used the strips and that would leave me raw and red down there, sex was definitely out of the question for a couple of days or at least till it scabbed over a little :/ I guess I will look into a salon that uses the blue wax, I'm gonna call around tomorrow.

SouthernSleever 228 Posted November 29, 2012 Alright girls, I'm going to trust you and give it a try. Anything I need to know? I freaking hate shaving so I hope this is a better solution. Also anything I need to look out as far as salon cleanliness? Shouldn't they use a new stick every dip into the wax or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also anything I need to look out as far as salon cleanliness? Shouldn't they use a new stick every dip into the wax or something? My suggestion for the first time is to find a nice spa on Yelp with good ratings. Don't go for the $35 chain places or nail salons for the first time. Spas are more relaxing and strive more on customer satisfaction than a salon where the prices are low. 2 smithpy and abetterme4.2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meinsasha 2 Posted November 30, 2012 My advice, be brave! You will feel so sexy! You will be glad you did it!!! If you find a good salon, the technician will e good enough that it doesn't hurt that bad. In my opinion waxing my eye brows feels exactly the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSleever 228 Posted November 30, 2012 I'm not scared of the pain. I just worry about getting a rash or something. My skin is so sensitive, when I shave I get crazy bumps no matter how careful I am or what I use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoonToBeThinKAT 67 Posted November 30, 2012 This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time bc I really hate shaving. I'm just so embarrassed by my fat poochy pubic area:-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bella86 82 Posted December 1, 2012 I've been waxing for years, I do it myself and have also been to a beauty therapist. Find a good Beauty therapist, mine was an ex nurse - made me more comfortable! It gets easier the more u do it and the results are fantastic. I'm currently experiencing a shrinking 'region' which is making it easier lol At one stage I used to use an epilator...now if u can handle an epilator u can handle ANYTHING lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
