It's pretty hard to shock me these days, and even harder to outright anger me but this story did it. According to two newspapers, MM Bubbles salon, which describes itself as "one of London's leading beauty salons" is charging plus size women more for waxing treatments on the basis that they use more materials to complete the service.
According to The Daily Mail, the salon will charge women who are a size 12 or above an extra £5 and women who are sized 18 could be charged £10! The Sun sent in a sized 22 model who was charged £26 for her treatment - an extra £5 on top of the advertised price and was told, "'I know maybe for you it is not very nice but I use more stuff."
Christina Damela, one of the salon's beauty therapist, confirmed that additional charges for leg waxes are applied to larger women.
I wonder if they charge skinny women less? I doubt it.
Until then...geek on!
