Girly thread (men beware!)

[MissStacey 1]

Don't worry Sprail. I don't think it's noticeable anyways.

It isn't often I actually laugh out loud. That was funny!

About upper lip- I like that my hair is light and fine but I still like to be smooth. I just take the razor and a little facial cleanser and shave it.

NO- the hair does not grow back thicker or darker. That is a myth.

It doesnt really get hairy all over just at the ends, I have dark hair so it can be a little more noticeable than most as you can see from the picture.

I have this weird hairline too. From my outer brow there is a strip of hair that goes up to where my hair starts... its not really like long hair but its noticeable. I decided to wax it before my wedding last year.... BIG mistake! I never touched it prior to that so I had this weird looking rectangle shape in the spot I had waxed... sooo I ended up having to basically wax my face. Good times.

I am the example of the "what you shouldn't do" even in my family I am always being used as the example.. and the example is NEVER good! "Oh you know what happened to Nevada... that could happen to you..."

I use either Nair or Sally Hansen for my upper lip and I've never had a problem. Except when hubby sees me with the nasty smelling stuff on my lip and then makes fun of me. #######! That is why I am totally going to use tweezers to pull out his ear and nose hair when he gets older .... (insert diabolical laugh now).

Yea I use nair sometimes too on the upper lip. Except last year my son (yes my son once again) came home from school and I had the stuff on and he goes: "Oh hi Mark Twain!"

OMG... he doesn't miss a thing, does he??!! I'll bet he's an awesome kid and a blast to have around. <- Sprailenes' son!

Never a dull moment that's for sure.

God I am such a loser.

This thread was interesting to read, lol. Im Portuguese, and therefore my European DNA sure didnt bless me with the 'light hair' gene..

Im too chicken to do a brazilian, I hate pain. But I do wax (just not brazillian). And also gotta wax my upper lip... its light, but the ends of it have a few darker hairs that drive me nuts.

This thread brings up a topic that has me a little concerned about the move - this is going to sound ridiculous, but I am worried about finding someone that will do a proper smoothie at a decent price

I have been going to the same person for probably 10 years - she is very thorough and only charges $38. The couple of times that I couldn't get in to see her and NEEDED the work done I called around to other places and found that most would not go near the backdoor. That was a number of years ago though before it was as popular as it is now, so maybe that wont be a problem any more?

And having done a little research, and found mentions of this costing somewhere around $90 in Chicago

Perhaps my guy would be open to learning how to do this for me?

I don't have good news K34.. most waxing here does cost more.. like on average 30% more than back home in Canada.. and I've yet to find a salon here in CT that i'm comfortable enough with to keep going back to..

The cheapest places I've found are those nail salons with like 100 spots to do nails & pedicures and this massive staff. But then you have to just go by luck of the draw who will do your waxing and I have NO idea if they'll do waxing "down there".

Uggghhh tell me about it! The cheapest is in Montreal, like $25 for a full brazilian. The salon in Oakville that I loved because they didn't use strip wax cost around $42, but they did an amazing job. All the salons here I've called around to, charge at least $65 + then you're paying tip on top of that. Since they do such a personal job I always gave 10 bucks tip. I have yet to find a place here I am willing to go to. At least I'm going home in a few weeks, I better make my appt!!

Oh WOW!... I love this site

You guys ever use one of those Twezee things? I have one, and I swear by it! It takes care of any unwanted facial hair, just pulls that stuff right out! And it lasts for a while. I wouldn't suggest using it down there... i tried that once and it hurt like a mofo! wow... I've never waxed... i'm scared it will hurt! mind over matter I suppose... But since we are going on a honeymoon to Florida mid-august i should probably consider it, shaving doesn't come out so smooth sometimes! Honestly, i just like to wear those bathing suit bottoms that have longer sides that kinda look like really short shorts... saves me the embarrassment!

I have a Tweeze too! I love it for the occasional "side burn" hairs. Theres only a couple but they are sooooo dark and I hate it, this thing really does rip them right out and it lasts a good few weeks for me. For the rest of everything, I am a shaver too. I use to wax my legs but I am such a pansy about it, I'd rather risk missing a spot on my legs and having to go over it again than crying as the hair is ripped out. I do have to try to find a good nail salon in the Santa Ana area now though, I get acrylic put over my real nails as mine are really brittle and look like garbage if left alone, but I dont trust the mass nail salons. I have an esthetician up here who uses 2 different acrylics (so that the french manicure doesn't chip out, she uses white for the tips) and she does almost all the work by hand. I'm so picky now that I was telling Wes I can see me walking in and interviewing every place I goto to find out what products they use and how they do things.

Okay... we're honeymooning in Hawaii at the end of July/beginning of August. I'm thinking I'm going to have to give in, too. The more I read on here, the more I get the courage to do it! So, if our wedding is on a Friday, and we leave for the honeymoon the following Thursday... when do you all suggest I go for "THE WAX"???
