Ok I tried to read through the waxing thread in the lounge and wound up going cross eyed...

So I am gonna resurrect it over here.

My hubby is coming home in August and by then I am hoping to have lost a bit of weight, enough to put me in the 100's at least. ANYHOW, I digress, I was thinking of surprising him by getting a Brazilian wax. Thing is, I am a shaver always have been so I have NO idea how soon before he gets back I should get it done. No idea about anything really. I called the salon/spa I will be going to, price is rather decent. Newbie freshly learnt would charge around 90, and someone with experiance (hello I am going to this one) can run up to 150 (I expected that price actually). Price isn't a factor, but everything else is.

Seems when I call to ask about details the waxer person lady is with a client and the receptionist doesn't really know that much about it.

So ladies that have had it done, do tell. Give me the dish on how soon before he gets home I should get it done etc.

Also, pain factor isn't really a deal, I mean hey, I have 13 tattoo's I can handle pain a bit I guess.

Mee three!!....but mine is a lil different my isnt really a trail but like 5 hairs going down from my belly button, it dont bother me, probably because no body see its but me....but if that was to change, i would get the shaver out!

I gaurantee those skinny girls have it, they just shave/wax/tweeze so we dont see it! lol lol

but those damn skinny girls in the bikinis never seem to have it so what waxing procedure covers this area???

I think I am gonna put on my big girl panties and get it done this coming friday. I might be walking like a goose for a couple of days after but if I am gonna have this done for the hubby, I might as well prepare myself by getting it done once prior that way I am not 'shocked into submission' days before he gets home.

Good on you hun!! Im sure hubby will be very happy, if we dont see you for a few days on the forum, we will know that he is VERY VERY happy!!:wink2: lol

Well if you don't see me around next weekend its because I passed out from the pain and I am still delirious :Dancing_wub::thumbup:

hubby still has two months and some change before he gets home. So mid august if I disapear for a while then you know why :thumbup:

im putting on my big girl panties today as my appointment is in about an hour so if I dont return then you all know what happened :-( I still have not made my decision over just bikini or brazilian...Im soooo nervous...GULP

Lol lol!

Thats good, you can use that time between now and aug as a trial.:thumbup::Dancing_wub:

I SURVIVED!!!! i got my wax today and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I didnt do the brazilian but I did what they called and inner bikini which is in between a regular bikini and a brazilian. and she did my belly too!!!! It wasnt a walk in the park but I didnt pass out from pain either! before I left I made another appointment for a few days before I go on vacation and I made one for my friend who is coming with me she wants to try it too.

Pix I think it was you who said you were paying $100 or something. I think that may be a little high. I paid $25 and the brazilian is $40. if you have been to this palce before and are comfortable there then stay there but if not maybe look around you may be able to find something else...just a suggestion.

thanks for all the info on this waxing business ladies!!

Hun, you have to look at demographics too. I am on the west coast, and am going to one of the premier spa's (hell if I am gonna do this might as well spoil myself too!!!) in my area. So I am paying for the name not the product.

I am not sure friday will be the day for me cause I think my TOM is sneaking up on me early *holds belly* not fun.

glad to hear that it all went well! It definatly wasnt bad if your booked in for another:thumbup:

good for you on going to a premier spa youre worth it!!! prices out here on the east coast can get high too so I was glad I found this place. it a nice quiet little spa in the next town over from me so its perfect. I was looking at pricing at a spa in NYC that is a client of the company I work for and the prices where just nuts!

good luck whenever you go Pix

waxing ouuuuuchie lol

Before my wedding I went for a spa treatment and had my entire body waxed. The funny thing was the bikini wax didn't hurt that much but having my arm pits done hurt beyond belief!! Go figure. I haven't had it done in 3 years because I had put on too much weight and felt embarrassed now I might go all out and have a Brazilian done soon

ooouchhhhh, now that musa hurt!! The skin around the armpits is very sensistive also, i dont think i could wax the armpits, its painfull just chattin bout it lol lol

How did you feel after the full body wax?? like you wanted to run in a field naked lol lol

Maybe I'm just a freak, but I used to get my armpits waxed all the time (no longer unfortunately, due to a delicate financial situation) and it never hurt very much. I used to get regular brazilians too, same story. The thing that DOES hurt me is my eyebrows. Yeouch!

PREPARE FOR A POSSIBLE TMI.

Brazilian-wise -- At the moment, it's a jungle down there. I'm very poor right now (paying off a certain surgery) plus i'm single, so there's no-one to get annoyed. It certainly annoys me, so I keep it trimmed, but otherwise "au naturel". Whatever.

Not sure why i'm sharing this with you all. Ah well :biggrin:
