Hi
I just had a wax at a new salon because my usual (amazing skilled) therapist is on holiday. The leg wax with strips was fine, but the bikini seemed to be a struggle for her. She applied the hot wax and seemed to struggle to pull it off quickly so ended up taking 2-3 tugs, and after the first attempt i looked down and more than half the hair was still there. She then did it all a second time, which then really hurt - the wax felt hot and she still needed 2-3 tugs. Then she had to go over it with a ball of honey wax to get bits off, and then tweezers. I didn’t want to interrupt too much as I felt she was struggling.
She said my skin was clearly really sensitive - but I think that was just going over the area so much. Usually my therapist gets it first pull with hot wax, maybe has to go over bits again, but it doesn’t hurt. It’s now all red bumps - I am wrong in thinking this was a bad wax? She gets great reviews otherwise - maybe just a bad day, but it was really painful in comparison with what I am used to.
