I havent long since qualified in waxing , but i love it !! Anyhow tonight was the night i waxed and shaped my eyebrows and waxed my top lip and it took an hour :suprised:

Its much harder waxing your self and getting the shape correct , as well as making sure you dont put wax on other parts what doesnt need waxing :lick:! lol

so will i get this time down? how long does it take you to wax your eyebrows/top lip?
 
It takes me forever to wax anything on me! Probably because I'm always on my phone/ fidgeting/ not wanting to pull the strip off/ getting distracted by the house phone!! The list is endless haha but it's worth it if I've got a day off because I'm too much of a wuss to get someone else to do it :) x
 
i wax my chin, lip and eyebrows in about 5 mins. i put wax on all areas, and whip it off. pluck few strays and job done! Your timing will come down in no time!

phew ! glad i aint the only one haha.
 
It takes me 4 centuries to do my Hollywood.

About 5 mins for my face.
 
ok..waxing top lip......put wax in place, count to 3..........then hesitate, count to 3 again, oh and hesitate.......can go on like this for some considerable time, eventually have to accept that its gotta come off. I hate waxing myself, perfer it when someone else does it and I don't know when they are going to rip it off!!

I'm exactly the same! Haha..the girls at work tend to stay late after work one night and we just wax each other! Lol.

I was in a similar position to you , as ive been told it "stings" so anyhow wax went on , counted to 3 , held my breathe and rip haha , werent that bad actually and after i thought to my self , why all these years have i not waxed it !!! smooth as a babys bum :p lol
 
Eskimonailtech you do your own Hollywood? Wow! I felt a bit brave the other day and attempted it and in the end I gave up - I should go and let someone finish the job properly but I'm way too embarrassed!!

OP I haven't even attempted doing any other waxing. I think I need to find someone in my area to swap treatments with. X
 
Yeah i do.

You wouldnt know it if you looked right now ahahahahaha
 
..what about underarms girls? No matter how hard I try I cannot manage to wax my own underarms without causing myself some damage. Ouch !! I dunno perhaps I'm not as flexible as I used to be, but my arms will not stretch high or far enough to really tighten the skin......obviously need to get someone else to do that also!

I always skin myself with my strip wax because I leave it on too long and it goes cold lol! Only on one arm usually as I'm brave with the first and when I remember the pain I'm not so good at the second one haha!

Hahaha do you use a mirror? I imagine putting your leg up on a surface in front of a mirror would help? Not that I'll ever know coz I'm too scared to try!
