Went in for an "ouchless" brazilian...there is no such thing! Although I would rate it less painful than using strips to take off the hair. The woman who did the waxing should have some pointers of innappropriate topics of conversations with clients. Could use some cozy deco rather than laying under glaring flouresant lights quite bared. Also have specific music playing to build your nerves or psych you out. Like the Donnas "take it off".....
