Last Friday I had the worst wax of my life. Honestly, it was the wax from hell. I should have known better when I called to make an appointment and asked how long it would take. The response was "I am very fast don't worry about time". Girls, if you ever get an answer like that steer clear of that beauty parlour.
Don't believe it if they tell you that waxing is painful and there's nothing that can be done about it. I have had waxing sessions with beauticians that are brilliant at it. They have a way of holding your skin down when peeling the strip off, and then gently pressing their hands against the waxed area that helps to subdue pain.
Not this lady. She was ripping of the wax off like nothing and I swear my skin went with the hair half the time. For the first time ever (and I've been waxing for 12 years) I had tears in my eyes. And then, when I thought it was finally all over, she whips out a tweezer and starts to pull out my ingrown hairs. Now thats fine, its something I do myself when the hair is ready to come out. But if she found a hair that was deep in the skin, she would squeeze them out with her nails!!! OMG that was the worst pain ever.
My first waxing experience in London has been an utter disaster. The search of my waxing salon in London continues. Anyone got any recommendations?
Later

I've been in London for two years and have yet to find a good waxing lady who does not cost the earth. Honestly I have some stories which will make yours seem like a walk in the park... Do let me know how you get on because I'd love to find a good waxing lady ... I'm also looking for a gentle threader... do they even exist?
I really have no idea but I am on a mission to find out. I don't mind spending a bit more if it means I get a super job done and without the ripping on skin preferebly. Will keep you posted on my next trial!
OMG that is horrible. She should have at least considered the pain when peeling the strip off. :(
