| - Did it meet my expectations..? No.
Am I satisfied..? 100%
I went in for the Brazilian and keep in mind that this was my first time getting waxed.. ever!
WHAT I EXPECTED
1. I expected to walk in to your typical spacey well lit salon to be greeted by a super cute (possibly intimidating) overly preppy girl.
2. I expected to wait a bit since I showed up 25 minutes early after reading about their policy.. and I'm never early nor ever on time to anything lol.
3. I expected the esthetician to basically "baby" me during the process considering it was my first time. Explaining this explaining that, step by step etc.
WHAT I RECIEVED
1. From the outside, for a brief moment I thought it looked closed. Once I was inside it was dim and totally yoga-lounge like. I was immediately more at ease. The girl behind the desk was just your everyday sweet girl (just trying to pay for college). No overly preppy intimidating fake. There was a light scent in the lobby, not too strong. Very modern. There were things were around to keep you occupied while waiting so you didn't have to stare down other clients. Also saw there was a cute little water dispenser for clients on the corner ledge.
2. I took my sweet time filling out and reading the two pages I was given. Just a moment after I handed to the receptionist I was called back! (Yessss!! This is a good sign! They must like me! They must not be too busy! They won't have to rush!)
3. Beth was my esthetician, she didn't "baby" me as I had hoped but I'm sure glad she didn't. Now I realize, that might have made it worse! She was basically to the point. Do this, do that. During the process we had endless conversations about anything except for what was going on (me laying totally naked waist down in a butterfly position o_o). She was extremely funny to me and it was natural, she wasn't just trying ease my nerves. My friend in the lobby said she even heard us at one point (we were in the first room). When I came out, the first thing I had to say to the receptionist was "I like her, she's funny!".
I'm not sure if they use a new style of wax but there weren't any strips to be pulled off, just the wax that turned hard after a few seconds.
When I walked out with my friend at the end, she said "see that wasn't as bad as you thought right.. just a little sting for a bit now".
My response.. "What? It's not stinging at all! I feel completely fine like nothing happened".
Then we walked two blocks right after to surrounding shopping centers looking for a place to sit and chat.. and yes, a couple hours later I still didn't feel any stinging or pain.
For you ladies that are getting your Brazilian wax for the first time.. I'll answer this for you as I was looking for this answer myself:
I felt sick to my stomach the second I was heading there..
Just do it! You're going to start eventually, why not now and why not here?
I took a couple Advil's before I went in and during the process my pain was on average of a 5/6 out of 10, at one point 3 out of 10 and another 7 out of 10. THAT'S NOT BAD considering I was expecting 20 out of 10 lol. It wasn't the worse pain I have ever felt. GO TO BETH! Just go, seriously. YOLO!
I guess you can say my expectations were totallllly off!
