Waxing Survival Guide

8) Try our water based exfoliant prior to your wax. It makes your hair come out easier and reduces your risk of ingrown hairs.

7) Avoid excessive alcohol the night before your wax. It thins your blood and dehydrates your skin, making you more susceptible to bruising and also making your hair more difficult to pull out.

6) If you have your period, please put a fresh tampon in right before the service. 

On a side note: Please make sure it is as dry and white as it is in this picture!

5) Don't get high or drunk before you come in. It lowers your tolerance.

(although the theatrics are amusing at times...)

4) Hydrate! Your hair will come out easier if you aren't dehydrated.

3) You have the option to take 2 Advil. More than 2 will thin the blood and increase your risk of bruising.

2) If you're anxious about the pain, pick up our numbing cream and apply one hour before your appointment. It helps a lot.

We also have a new numbing spray that takes about five minutes to work, so you would apply it when you got to the salon.

 Most of our ladies are fine without any numbing products, however.  Our male clients on the other hand... 

 We have a Waxing Survival Guide that is on our website to help make your waxing experience more pleasant with us. We also put a copy of it in your after care gift bag that you should have gotten when you came in for your first Brazilian. Since it has come to my attention that many people haven't read it, I thought I would take the next few posts to go over the suggestions with you. 

1) Please shower before you come in.

If that isn't possible because you are coming after work, please freshen up with a baby wipe prior to your service. The cleaner you are, the more thorough we will be!

 We have a few bags left from The Happy Hoo-Ha grand opening party. Purchase a bottle of lubricant for $21 and receive a free goodie bag which includes a copy of M.E.'s hilarious non-fiction book called The Happy Hoo-Ha and a few other treats!

Mark & Mary Elizabeth will be working all this week but next week they will only be working Tuesday the 27th and Wednesday the 28th. Please plan your appointments accordingly!  Thank you!!

 Is your Hoo-Ha Happy? 

If not, you may need a 10 Minute Brazilian or maybe even some of The Happy Hoo-Ha personal lubricant. 

Either way, we are here for you!

 You may think I am funny, but it's really my clients who provide me with the material that I pass on to you.  This was a message I received from a woman I have been waxing for years. The pic associated with this message is hilarious, which is why I was compelled to share it with all of you! 

Have a great day!!!

 I thought I'd piggy back on waxing between the cheeks because this lady is too funny! You don't need to make time to groom yourself back there. It's a five minute service at our salons!

 In my opinion, the definition of a Brazilian Wax is the removal of all pubic and rectal hair. Some people are afraid to do the whole thing because of the anticipated pain so they choose to only do the backside. This following meme includes a statement that a man said to me about five years ago before I waxed that area on him, so when I saw this meme, I had to share because it's so funny and so true. Getting waxed between your cheeks is life changing!

 I waxed a woman in her thirties who had a lot of grey pubic hair. She told me she felt like she looked like an eighty year old "down there" because there was so much grey.  When I finished giving her a Brazilian Wax, I told her she looked like an eight month old, not an 80 year old anymore. 

 For as long as Mark & M.E. and Wax It All have been open, we have offered a 10% discount to students who come in for services as long as they show us their student identification card. We are sympathetic to all the men and women who are struggling to maintain a beauty regimen while going to school, which is why we offer the discount! Please tell you friends so they can take advantage of this savings at both of our locations. 

This is actually a conversation that we have with dozens of women every year. They come in for an annual Brazilian Wax for a vacation or an anniversary and wonder why it hurts every time. This is the gig. Wax every 4-6 weeks and the hair will come in finer and thinner. Shave all year and then wax one time for a special occasion and it's like losing your virginity all over again. 

 

We do not require that you wear a mask when you come to the salon but are completely comfortable with you wearing one while you come in for your service. Please remember that you can get hot while you get a Brazilian Wax and wearing a mask can make you feel even hotter. It is a good idea to wear a light weight shirt if you plan to keep your mask on. It'll keep you more comfortable during the service. We have had women rip off their sweaters because they feel too heated. And that is fine too. We like seeing what type of bra you are wearing....or not.

All clients that get a Brazilian Wax with us go through a series of five positions. The last position is on their side so we can wax between their cheeks. When I asked a new client to roll on her side so I could wax her backside, she said, "You should be paying me for this!"

 When a woman is being theatrical and screaming during a Brazilian Wax, I like to distract her with questions. As I was waxing the most intimate part of a woman, I asked her if she was dating anyone. Her response? "Apparently I am dating you now!" 😂

 I love to ask new clients why they decided to get waxed. One woman recently told me that whenever she shaved, it looked like she had chicken pox!

 Today is the perfect day to get a bare bottom. Yep, that's right. The staff at Wax It All and Mark & M.E. are really here to Wax It All. And there is never a reason to feel weird or uncomfortable about getting any body part waxed because most of us have unwanted hair that we want gone. We are here to help, not judge. Call the wax experts today and let us do our thing! If we can give a tarantula a bare bottom, yours will be a breeze!

 We have officially launched The Happy Hoo-Ha Aloe Based Organic Personal Lubricant! Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my crazy endeavors!💖

 But we like to politely probe our hairy earthlings...

 Just a reminder that we will be CLOSED tomorrow, Tuesday September 6th so our staff can have a 3 day weekend. We are accepting appointments via email if you would like to set up something for this week.

 Today begins our three day weekend for the teams at both Mark & M.E. and Wax It All Salon. Thank you for letting us cut, color and rip your hair. It was a fun and productive week and we appreciate all of you!

 An unexperienced wax technician may look at this and start sweating profusely. I look at this guy and think to myself, bring it on!

 We have a numbing cream called No Scream Cream. It's white and does make the waxing experience a little easier. I had a woman use almost an entire tube (which was beyond excessive!) She didn't wipe it off before she got on the waxing table so it looked like she had mayonnaise all over the place -  kind of like this kid!
