College and Pubic Hair

288 replies

Foxtrot92 · 08/09/2017 17:09

My DSister (16) has just started a beauty therapy course in college.

Yesterday she was told by a tutor that everyone is to grow their pubic hair (vagina) so they can practice waxing on each other and develop and understanding of how clients feel.

My DS and most of the other girls are horrified by this and don't want to do it. AIBU to be horrified at this demand? Surely the college can't enforce this on the girls?!

Btw they usually don't jump straight into bikini waxing on week one. They start with manicure pedicure then facials then waxing and even then they start with leg waxing and build up to Nikon waxing. It is usually the last thing they do in waxing training. Your sister will have known her classmates at least a few months by then and they'll all have been out together and got pissed and seen all sorts of parts of each other by then.

bikini waxing! We never waxed a Nikon! Grin

I've just finished the same course and you do have to grow all your body hair so you can practice on each other, partly sonyoi know what the treatment feels like but mostly because you have to practice on each their before you're allowed to wax clients.

If your DSis is too embarrassed to have a hollywood wax done on herself then why does she want to become a waxer?

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2017 18:20

Ah Backie sounds like they know the score. No-one leaps straight into the fannies on day one OP! Not without a few drinks to break the ice.

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2017 18:20

Can't see what the fuss is about as most people get their foof out for a minge mowing every now and then

FerretsAreFeminists · 08/09/2017 18:21

This is a very weird thread Grin

Kikibanana86 · 08/09/2017 18:21

Also you only have to do a basic bikini wax you can go further if you like bit to pass the first year it's just the top and sides and you leave knickers on.

idontwannaneedthem · 08/09/2017 18:22

Careful @portia OP called me a sick cow for suggesting that people actually get their minge out..

barefoofdoctor · 08/09/2017 18:23

OGX is amazing for hair growth and usually on offer in Superdrug.

FerretsAreFeminists · 08/09/2017 18:23

It's her sister getting it done by the looks of it. Not her DS or DD.

I've been lazy recently so my foof is getting a bit hairy so your sis could practice on me if she wants Grin

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2017 18:23

Yeah but you have to get your minge out to get it mown.

No college is going to ask 16 year old girls to take their knickers off.

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2017 18:24

I'm just sad that pretty soon the 70s will be back in vogue and all this intensive training will havebeen for nothing

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2017 18:24

Yeah hairy marys everywhere

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2017 18:24

Quick look OP there's a typo in my last post

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2017 18:25

I live for the day Portia

I'm not a fan of the FoofCollege look

Dustbunny1900 · 08/09/2017 18:25

Have to keep reminding myself that fanny means vagina? vulva? Mons pubis? Labia? Across the pond, rather than ass like it does over here.
Speaking of which, do they do ass crack waxing too as part of the "Hollywood"? Confused

I think over here it just means YER BITS, Dustbunny.

Maybe they do the full wax and BLEACHING Shock
