I have a few clients come in needing me to "finish" the job. If you are THAT insistent on doing it yourself, here are some tips:<br />-apply in thin layers. the goopier the wax, the more will be left behind.<br />- i always use strip wax for the top and hard wax (stripless wax) for the lower region. it's MUCH gentler and less painful.<br />-use only oil to remove the wax...NO rubbing alcohol.<br />-hold the skin TIGHT. loose skin=skin being removed along with the hair.<br />-where you bruised is a VERY common spot because of how thin the skin is along the tendon. seperate the leg into two sections. 1 being below the tendon (usually the hair grows up) and 2 being above the tendon where your underwear line is. DO NOT wax over the tendon.<br /><br />Honestly I would just get a professional to do it...you may be out 60 bucks but its a lot less painful and only 30 minutes of torture...<br />:) happy waxing!genevievehttp://www.shipswithnosails.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759684823522679114.post-43011201277914304742010-06-16T16:36:58.798-07:002010-06-16T16:36:58.798-07:00CC here (I'm just too lazy to switch google ac...CC here (I'm just too lazy to switch google accounts):<br /><br />I'd probably fuck it up more if I boozed it up beforehand.

If only I'd known, I would've had every single bottle of oil up in the bathroom.<br /><br />I thought about trying the hard wax, but I'm SO glad I didn't now.<br /><br />Maybe a couple of cocktails before hand is the key???Muffin Tophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556022772647356986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759684823522679114.post-41623097133226687622010-06-16T14:15:09.375-07:002010-06-16T14:15:09.375-07:00Yeah.

It hardens a bit then you can apparently rip away. So my plan was to just do my bikini line. It turns out it hardens to your skin and your hairs resulting in me ripping off my skin too. Mainly skin really, a few hairs came out. Bad situation lemme tell ya.<br /><br />Oh and here's a helpful hint. Like dissolves like. So if you're ever out of wax remover - grab some oil, mineral, baby, olive. canola whatever floats your boat.Cullenary Curserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425062244966101928noreply@blogger.com
