I have been wanting to wax for months but Fear of Pain and then COVID lockdown delayed everything. Last Saturday seemed like a good day to finally get my messy bush out of the way.
I love how beauty services these days provide Whatsapp numbers so you don't have to be on the phone for 5 minutes trying to communicate with the Appointment Lady on the other line, trying to agree on a date and spell your name correctly - texting makes everything so much easier. So all I had to do was text my usual wax shop at Strip Bangsar Village 2: +6011-52851111
I texted them the night before; they will ask you for your preferred time and therapist and then you are good to go. No unnecessary human contact required to make a booking. My therapist was Tracy and she's a lovely Chinese girl who got the job done quick and painless (mostly).
It's also advisable to make a booking because even though it's COVID season, most of the wax rooms were full when I was there.
Very pretty, very nice. No mention of hairy vaginas anywhere.
The waxing took over 15 minutes, I think I heard 6-7 songs playing on the radio until the nice therapist was finally done waxing away everything I have, which made me sad. One day my daughter will also have to go through all this pain, just to have a nice, smooth you-know-what.
This is the bed where you lie down on. The lighting is not at all romantic like this - they turn on a white fluorescent light so the therapist can ensure all hair gets taken off.
This is the cupboard to store your clothes and other stuff (do remember to wear a 2 piece, instead of a dress so you don't have to get completely naked.
That's the wax, you guys!!! I got the chocolate wax but I suspect all wax is the same. It's not as if you'll eat it or smell it anyway.
My view while I contemplate my beauty decision. But as I type this now with a hairless hooch, I can't help but feel pretty. The trick to not having a painful waxing session is to suddenly breathe deeply while she pulls off the wax.
Before you get on the bed, you need to wipe yourself between your legs clean with this wipe which looks like a packet of condoms
... and then you throw away the wipe in the bin here OK?
Also, one more thing to note:
You are literally taking off a layer of skin from your body, so no swimming 24 hours after waxing (to prevent infection). They say waxing only hurts the first time and after that, it's much easier, but I don't know because I always wait for years to get my next waxing done. Hopefully, I will take better care of myself from now on and will get my next session done in 6 weeks.
PRICE: About RM120, I purchased the RM600 package to tell myself to come back again, please don't lead a busy life with a messy bush...
