Went for a wax appointment with Jodie, and was so happy with her that I thought I would come here and recommend anyone who might be feeling nervous or shy about this process (I am neither, but she treated me as though I might just be playing brave and I appreciated that she didn't just get super casual or lazy because I was like "I'm not shy and if have a really high pain threshold so this should be a snap" she still went through the process and was professional and polite) she would be great for a first timer. I will book with her every time for sure because she was a pro.
I can't really speak to the pain because for some reason waxing has never bothered me (I find it *immensely* satisfying!) but I can speak to the thing I value the most out if anyone I am paying for a service and that is confidence of hand, checking in, and respect for my time. Jodie was fast, she asked me often if I was good, she let me check things with mirrors and she asked me about everything before it happened and then again after to make sure it was all as I expected it to be. She made me believe she had done this 10,000 times and that I was dealing with a professional. I like that.
There is nothing I love more than deferring some thinking and some decisions to a person who has done this way more than me... Like I don't know what shape my eyebrows should be, I read zero magazines that might tell me, I work a lot so I don't ever have time to sit around and wonder if I should trim them or if they are arched in the right spot for example. If someone can make me feel comfortable enough that I say "just make them right for my face" and then I leave and think "these look much better now" then they are an A+ winner in my books.
I found all the services I had done fast, mostly painless, and professional. The receptionist is also pretty awesome too, so I'll virtually high five her as well.
