Just a bit of a musing really had a waxing treatment recently and am a bit disappointed. I wanted to get my underarms waxed and bikini tidied up (just standard) as a last minute thing so walked round a couple of salons in town to see if they had any availability and one said she would have time to do me. Never been to any of them before.
Anyway, she started on bikini and that was fine, when finished she asked me was that ok, i looked down and there were several hairs still left, including one long one sticking straight up! She made no attempt to tweeze any hairs. I was suspicious about the barbicide jar and row of used spatulas lining the edge of the wax pot so just said it was fine and thinking id just tweeze at home!
Im just annoyed as i normally get waxed where i work and she does a brilliant job and tweezes and i know if i was doing it on a client i would be really thorough because thats what id want myself!
Perhaps it was because I was a walk in and she squeezed me in, although she didnt have to, but walk ins dont mean half a job to me. Id only take someone if i had enough time to do it properly.
So it got me thinking about me worrying about doing a good job and client expectations (as ive only qualified) and theres people out there in salons with not the same standards as me and people still go to them.
Anyone else have experiences of varying standards in salons?
