Search Results: hair removal

So, I had my first Brazilian waxing Friday and here are the results for me.

First, I was really nervous even though my sisters have had them done and a ton of girlfriends, I was still apprehensive about it based on mixed opinions I was given, but here are my 3 pro's and con's.

PRO'S:
1) Wow! I love the look of the skin after it is over with, smooth as a babies bottom, even though it is a little red. It is so silky smooth with no razor burn marks or bumps, I love it!
2) It takes longer for the hair to grow back out again
3) It grows back thinner each time you do it and will eventually not grow back at all.

CON'S:
1) OMG! The pain!
2) OMG! The pain!
3) OMG! The pain!

My service provider, Brandy, told me that some girls scream and then stop her after the first patch removal and leave saying they cannot take the pain. I did mine all the way through. I figured if I could let a guy spank me on occasion, I could take this... lol

Brandy said that it is less painful each time.

Please tell me what your experience was like and if you got all the way through it and or went back for a second time and was it less painful the 2nd time as much as the 1st for you?

I went to a beauty salon to get rid of hair on my underarms. The beauty specialist name was Jess, she asked me to sign a package for 13 SHR (Special Hair Removal which is more effective than IPL) treatments, 10 of which were paid by me while the remaining three were free. I asked her more questions about it, she did told me about SHR may not 100% get rid of hair permanently when some of her ex clients still have some hairs left but mostly there was a huge reduction of hairs but those who have hair completely removed permanently are those who don’t have very stubborn persistent hair growth whereby after the hair follicles are destroyed, new ones might come back. After I done all the first 13 SHR treatments, she then told me I have to spend another $400 to maintain the results which she did not told me about before I first signed the package. I spent $560 in total yet I need to spend another $400. I asked her politely why she didn’t told me that earlier and her answer was: “I forgotten”. I was very disappointed with her answer, to which I replied I will have to consider first. I left the place never to come back. But one thing I liked about it was the hairs on my underarms were reduced by a lot and the hairs were not so obvious from a distance it’s like I’m totally hair free even though I’m not. I don’t think the maintenance treatment is worth $400 and I think the first 13 treatments were enough and I was right it’s been 6 months, the hairs still stayed the same it doesn’t get thicker. Luckily I didn’t paid the extra $400. If I have to rate my experience it would be a 6/10 the minus 4 is because she didn’t tell me about the maintenance treatment and I had to pay extra $400 for it in the first place.

Before this I had very hairy underarms with super thick hairs now the hairs are not as visible unless it’s taken close up. It’s more worth it compared to shaving, please take note that im not paid to say this. I don’t have to shave anymore and I can be lazy not like years ago where I had to shave every 2 or 3 days. It doesn’t get rid of body hair 100% but it helped to reduce 80% of body hair which was very good. Don’t go to beauty salons to get hair removal buy your own IPL device because it’s much cheaper in the long run. I can say that IPL devices are probably women’s 2nd best friend. Shaving is women’s number 1 enemy. You do have to shave 2 days before using the device tho. In the long run you don’t have to shave anymore.
