Waxing Questions

[jessalyn.livejournal.com]

So, a weird question for ya'll.


I'm interested in waxing. Not just the down yonders, but legs too. I've never waxed before, and about to start doing the eyebrows (I'm sick of plucking)

Where would you go to look for brazilian waxes? I don't want any bikini ones, I want everything gone. I'm sick of shaving down there only for it to be ruined within the next day. Would it be done at a spa-sort area? About how much would it cost? (if you've had it done before)

Would this be done by a place that does legs, too? Or would they be two different places?

I'm already thinking that it's safe as so many women do it-- but I'm wondering if there are any precautions I should know about before getting myself into this.

Yes, lots of questions, I hope someone can provide answers :[ I don't have many female friends that I could ask. :\ Nor do I know if this is the proper community ;]

(if you can recommend somewhere else to look, that'd be great, too!)

Thanks!

_{I wax religiously. You can find places in your area online usually (I'm in miami, FL).
brazilian wax isn't everything (it leaves a "landing strip") full bikini is everything & playboy bikini includes the back. they can range from $15-30 for the most part.
usually waxing places do everything. I've been getting my legs done lately to, and at the beginning I thought it might be pointless, I was getting more ingrown hairs and right after the waxing you're still sort of spiky, but once you get into the habit of doing it regularly it's a lot better than shaving =]
before: maybe take aspirin or tylenol if you're concerned about the pain (it's not oo bad) but avoid advil as it thins your blood and you'll bleed easier.
go for it, you'll love the results once you make it a regular thing, & eventually you won't ever have to worry about it again =]}

Thanks. That's not too bad of a price. I live in the Dallas Area, I'm sure there's tons around. I just wish I could somehow get a recommendation aorund here before going *will ask her hair stylist, maybe she knows of some...*

Also, thanks for the clear up on terms. What exactly do you mean by 'back'?

I want to start waxing my legs because I hear it's good for exfoliation, and I have really dry skin-- another question though. Does the mass influx of ingrown hairs go down after doing it more?

Thanks again xD

<sub>by back I mean your butt =]

yeah the ingrown hairs go away, just make sure you pay attention to them, the beginning is a bit of work, sitting there plucking hairs out of your legs lol but it goes away & your hair grows back so much thinner and slower before it stops growing alltogether.

no problemo</sub>
