To complain about my bikini wax?

I had a Brazilian wax for the first time today (have only normally gone for a bit of a tidy up in the past). It was a bit bloody painful to say the least but I put it down to me being a bit less than groomed down there so put up and shut up. I came home and had a shower and nearly hit the roof when the water hit my severely pruned lady garden!! I got a mirror and inspected and my inner lips are actually a bit torn and bleeding! I have applied sudocrem and hoping it will all settle down but surely that is not acceptable??

I feel I should go back to the salon and complain but I have had the therapist who did the waxing a few times now for other stuff and I don't want to get her into trouble and I would also like to be able to use the salon again. What to do?

To clarify, that's hair-free patches on my legs not my bat-cave.

I can't get waxed at all, I'm SO fair skinned and bruise so easily ( been checked so nothing sinister) but I had a leg wax and came out in blood blisters, technician was so apologetic but she's very qualified, and used good technique. I'm not very hairy anyway so just shave.

The first Brazillian wax is the worst. After that not too bad.. was sick of paying twenty pounds for one so now I buy a ten pound hot wax and do it myself. Takes about an hour but its less painful then the salon. Plus I get a better result.

I would never use hair removal cream as I once burned the insides of myself as I accidentally got some cream in . Shaving just leaves a stubbly mess after a day.

Hard being a woman sometimes.

Sounds horrendous. And why I will NEVER partake in one! I bought the Boots own brand laser machine and it is pretty good and well worth the money. I haven't been good about keeping up with regular treatments but have definite improvement and patches that don't re grow. This year was the first year I've been away for a week on holiday somewhere hot and not had to switch to shorts by day 3-4 when the re growth turns into sore mega rash.

This is weird, this thread is from June and I just came across my own post!

I was all 'WHO IS POSTING UNDER MY NAME ABOUT MY BAT-CAVE - '

Oh. It was me. Blush

Its absolutely fine by the way to have a shower after waxing, as long as its not too hot! xx
