vaginapaginaSo, 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!

-ask the waxer if she has a small heater in the room you are being waxed in. Bodies under even a small amount of duress are prone to be cold more quickly, and you may wish for some heat- esp. since you will be naked from the waist down.
-prior to going for the wax, I have found that it helps to use a gentle exfolient on the skin. I also use it the day after my waxing and throughout the month to prevent ingrown hairs.
-bring some olive oil with you in a small container. I have found that some places use baby oil to remove wax from the legs, and (for me), it isn't thick enough to remove all the wax. You really don't want your clothing sticking to your freshly waxed skin- esp when that skin is between your butt cheeks. =)
