Brazilian wax….. what just happened??

So 12 years ago I used to go to a lady where I lived and she did sugaring on me. I used to have full leg and a Brazilian with a triangle left. I don’t know if she was super thorough or if I’ve just been butchered…..I just braved it and got a full leg wax and Brazilian from a beauty salon. I had the right length hair but I can still see strips of hairs over my knees, legs etc which I’m annoyed about but……. the Brazilian…. WTF?! I told her I wanted a triangle left not a strip and showed her what I meant, she’s left me with a strip. But worse that that she’s taken the hair off one lip and not touched the other, didn’t do bum either. My sugaring lady literally left me with a triangle, did my bum and even my big toes. Was she just super thorough or have I just been butchered by the waxing lady? She must have seen she had done one lip and not the other. It looks utterly ridiculous so need to shave which defeats the whole point of me going. I only looked and saw when she had left for me to get dressed and I was so mortified I’ve done the British thing of not say anything, paid and legged it out.

It’s really hard to find a good waxing lady. Someone thorough who knows what they’re doing is actually not that common.

I found one several years ago and have been going to her since, even though I moved an hour away. Worth it for the sake of having someone good.

Strange.
Next place you go say "all off please except this bit!" And then check with a mirror afterwards for the first time! Takes a longgg time to find a good waxist in my opinion!

There was a similar thread recently, not everyone has hair around the bum or some other bits so it may be missed by someone who doesn't have it themselves.

An experienced waxer will have seen enough bums and other bits to know that everyone is different.

The Brazilian isn’t about whether a triangle or a strip is left behind. It’s about what comes off - everything else.
