A new client thought Bandit was a stuffed animal until she noticed his tongue stick out. The very next client pointed to him and said "That is the only hairy thing at Mark and M.E."

I normally don't take two weeks off of work, but this was a very special occasion. Some people get nervous when I am out of town for so long and worry that their hair will be out of control by the time I get back. A client actually sent me this picture while I was away!

The gentleman's brazilian wax at Mark and M.E. is $70. I think I may need to charge this fella a little more.

The Mark and M.E. Salon is popular for being the Home of the 10 Minute Brazilian. We are also known for our sense of humor. We make waxing fun! Not only do we wax women, we also wax men. The Gentleman's Brazilian is a very popular service at our salon. But we have to admit that some men are more intimidating than others to wax.

A woman messaged me about her daughter and a friend coming in for a Brazilian. It was their first time and they wanted to know what they needed to do to prepare. I told her the usual....let it grow for at least two weeks, have clean dry skin and make sure they were hydrated. The mom wanted to know if they should bring frozen peas with them to sit on when the service was over? I told her it was an option but not necessary. Our exchanges were hysterical and I couldn't wait to meet these girls. When they walked into the salon, I asked them if they brought the peas. The one girl started to laugh, reached into her purse, and pulled out an ice pack. Close enough.

We try to play fun music at Mark and M.E. to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Yesterday was no exception. We jammed to old-school music like KC and the Sunshine Band, Bobby Brown, Earth Wind and Fire and the list goes on. My day started at 9am and I was really busy. It was a super fun day and I found myself singing throughout most of it. At one point, a client commented on what a good mood I was in. I told her I was boogying through the bush!

I have a friend in Atlanta who sent me a story yesterday that I must share. Even children know the power of the Brazilian.

I have a great story for you -- perfect! Everyday at my lunch hour I go next door to the outdoor track to run/walk. Today was a perfect 88 degrees so I did just that then went into the Aquatic center to shower/change to go back to work.

As I was drying off a little girl was getting dressed by her mom to leave. She was probably all of 5 years old. She watched me get ready and then said to me in a very serious voice -- my mommy gets all of her hair down there taken off and my daddy likes it! The mom was mortified by this and tried to hush her up. But the little girl continued to tell me that she heard her daddy say how happy he was when she visited the hair doctor!
