Hello

I’ve booked in for my pre holiday treatments - on Friday it’s acrylics, pedicure, brow wax and tint, underarm wax and Hollywood wax. The person reckons they can get it done slightly quicker.

It’s with a new person (I’ve been for brows before but not the rest) but previously I’ve sat for 2+ hours for acrylics - clearly this is longer than most but how long do acrylics take for most people?

im booked in pre night shift so having visions of being stuck for 6 hours even though I know that’s just irrational

If she's good, I think pedicure and acrylics in 1.5 hours, waxing 30 mins and the brow tint will be on whilst she's doing the underarm and bikini wax? It's doable in 2 hours although I think 3 hours would have made it seem less pressured.

Well, you could go old school...😁

Pluck eyebrows to tidy up, paint nails, shave underarms, epilate /shave bikini line or buy some at home wax / sugar removing system from a chemist. Bit of Vics Vapour rub to soften any hard skin on the feet and then the beautifying is complete. 😉

Brow tint you can get kits for that too from the chemist. Or just use eyebrow pencil.

Sounds about right to me. You're having a lot done.

I've never had acrylics take 2+ hours.
Wax is usually 20 mins for me
Nails and pedicure - 1 hr and 30 mins
