Worst wax in the world...

Don't often have time to post but had to share this.

I booked in for a leg and bikini wax; when I got there (held up in traffic), there was not enough time for both so we agreed we would start with the leg wax and see how we were doing for time.

After doing the front of my legs (badly), the therapist turned around and said
"We don't have much time left, so do you want me to do your bikini line or the backs of your legs?"

Seriously - an either/or scenario. Anyone else been offered stubbly front and hairy back legs as a beauty option??

lurking even I saw the funny side at the time but the girl was clueless, she really didn't know what she had said. It is 100% cross my heart true, btw!!

She was also blowing her nose every two minutes and not washing her hands or using hand sanitiser before starting to work on me again - ewwww Shock I appreciate she wasn't feeling well but I was cringing soooo much and really wanted to ask her to use hand sanitisier or something, but I would have been lucky to have been waxed at all had I done so. Actually I can't even remember if she was wearing gloves I was so traumatised by the whole thing. Double ewww.

Hibernia, you have my sympathy

On the plus side, ladies, I obviously still needed the old lady garden seen to and the experience gave me the kick up the arse to try somewhere else. I cannot take the kids swimming this weekend without looking like a misplaced yeti otherwise. So after some frantic googling to find somewhere in the area with good reviews, I found a place that could fit me in and they were quite good. Fast. Efficient. Some new fangled rose wax I had not heard of before. I could be impressed.

Hibernia good luck with finding somewhere new!
