So much cleaner -- and if you go to a good place -- faster! Bliss Spa in NY has some great self-hardening wax that is used without cloth strips. Good stuff that other salons/spas use in other parts of the country. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-64603416119124423042010-05-03T07:51:03.239-04:002010-05-03T07:51:03.239-04:00I prefer the wax, it quick and it don’t have any r...I prefer the wax, it quick and it don’t have any rashes thereafter.<br />What ever you decide, good luckStefanie Wolfaardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180984665111061635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-33512386690985688852010-05-02T17:35:40.139-04:002010-05-02T17:35:40.139-04:00I've only gotten my legs waxed (half leg anywa...I've only gotten my legs waxed (half leg anyway), and it was super painful, but it was amazing not to have to shave for a couple of weeks (this was right before a European vacation, so I was really psyched not to have to worry about shaving). The lady did tell me it gets less painful the more often you do it (well, no shit lady. you're killing all of my nerve endings). <br />I am terrified to the core of getting a bikini wax. TERRIFIED. I would have to go to a super high-end salon (you always hear those stories of heinous infections from brazilian waxes gone wrong on tv and it's always at a cheapo local salon), and I'd probably have to take some sort of valium or something. Even eyebrow waxes stress me out a little bit. For that though, it's not the waxing that hurts, but the tweezing afterward. I can't stand someone else tweezing my eyebrows...<br />Anyway, good luck whatever you decide!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-74121976491942630592010-05-01T00:17:26.702-04:002010-05-01T00:17:26.702-04:00Oh goodness!

If I shave it all, I get ingrown hairs, and you could swear I have a secret message in braille.<br /><br />I do the wax thing on my own. Just to clean the top part, and I shave the other part, (lip area seems so much more sensitive) since its only the top part that gets the ingrowns for me.<br /><br />Maybe just get him a pair of goggles for next time he goes diving ;)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328502895671189971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-51815475984478075172010-04-30T20:51:19.606-04:002010-04-30T20:51:19.606-04:00I will only wax.

I go to a nicer spa (this isn't the place to be cheap, trust me) and they use a "sugar" wax, which is way more gentle. I don't think it hurts that much (take some Advil an hour before) and it lasts so much longer. Less irritation, less ingrown hairs. You'll never go back to shaving.Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331859341593997811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-565343448540004472010-04-30T13:05:30.694-04:002010-04-30T13:05:30.694-04:00I've never done a salon wax, only a home bikin...I've never done a salon wax, only a home bikini line wax about 15 times before various vacations. It was so painful and I usually bled a little from the hair follicles...so needless to say I wasn't a big fan. Now I just trim and shave the straglers that lie outside the line. When I got my eyebrows waxed in a salon they puffed up for three days, it wasn't pretty. I can't imagine that happening to my lady business!someday-soonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347835900888933013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-9158650235666494812010-04-29T16:46:44.572-04:002010-04-29T16:46:44.572-04:00Great topic!

I've done the "American" style of waxing - just looked at wikipedia to see what you were referring to... And I like it, but I've never done full wax. The pain totally scares me. For my wedding, I waxed myself. I took off a lot more than an American, but a whole lot less than a Brazilian... It was kind of in the middle. And I don't recommend doing it yourself to anyone - it's just mean! Although I have waxed my own legs, and that wasn't bad. I recommend the Nair wax strips for that... For me, I just keep that area trimmed with an electric clipper thing, on the lowest setting. I don't shave unless I'm going in public with a bathing suit. But I would like to venture out to a real wax. Especially since I'm on the hairy side... But the money to keep it nice, and the pain - really scare me! <br /><br />Oh, and I learned something new using the Wiki site - I never knew that brazilian meant everything comes off! I thought they would always leave a landing strip! Good to know - imagine my surprise if I wasn't clear in my instructions...<br /><br />Isn't it fabulous we can talk about these things with somebody???Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524692943966582775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-65441001038228070912010-04-29T16:38:20.730-04:002010-04-29T16:38:20.730-04:00Hi!

The hand of the beautician makes all the difference in my opinion...this one time I had a young one who was peeling off the strip almost as if it was fragile!! youziii! It has to be done quick and on a small area at a time, not the lot together or you'll really feel the pain and whatever about the wax (I never tried the dry one, I must check it out) it has to be done quickly.<br />Afterwards it's totally worth it, so clean, no bumps, you may be slightly irritated down there, but I have this tea-tree oil soothing lotion which is AMAZING. Oh, and normally they give you those paper-ridiculous-knickers to preserve a bit of your dignity!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717020378275616297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-47239950078536503972010-04-29T16:07:54.706-04:002010-04-29T16:07:54.706-04:00I am a big fan of waxing.

I don't even shave my legs, I get them waxed and then I use a depilator to keep them smooth until I get lazy and let the hair grow back and then I get them waxed again. I also get my bikini waxed. I HATE shaving down there as it gets so itchy. I never do it. I would highly recommend it. I don't think it hurts very bad, especially if you've trimmed it down so it's not very long.<br /><br />Just so you know, you can still get ingrown hairs with waxing. There are astringents you can get to help minimize them, but they will show up. It's not very bad or anything but in case you thought waxing = no ingrowns I wanted to tell you that unfortunately that is not the case.<br /><br />Good luck if you decide to do it!!!!Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873914709073839450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532456271171506906.post-41225956042260634652010-04-29T15:42:55.719-04:002010-04-29T15:42:55.719-04:00Let me ease your fears some in the ladyville depar...Let me ease your fears some in the ladyville department. For my wedding I got the whole kit and caboodle waxed off as a sort of wedding/honeymoon gift to my beloved hubby. I researched and found a lady at a well known higher end spa who used dry wax instead of hot wax. She claimed it was less painful and faster. I went in, first time ever, took it all off and bared all. I almost canceled the appt on several occasions out of fear/embarassment but went through with it. I did stop at Sally beauty supply and bought a can of numbing spray which I sprayed before hand, not sure if it did anything but I felt good knowing I had used it. I think they wipe with alcohol first anyway. Okay, so anyway, any good waxer does ladyville parts so often they A.) are not alarmed by anything so don't feel embarassed and B.) have a knack for keeping conversation so that you don't think about things too much. I would fo sho go with the dry wax if you can find it, it really wasn't bad. I have had laser hair removal since then and LET ME TELL YOU THAT SUCKS! After waxing it's smooth as a babies butt and it does last a little longer and if you keep getting it done, rumor has it the hair thins out???? Maybe. I loved not having to shave for those couple weeks! Sheer bliss! Good luck!Amber Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018361388875043216noreply@blogger.com
