since i just got home from a lip and brow wax, i feel your pain (haha). actually, i'm pretty used to it by now (several years). the only thing is that because i have sensitive and very pale skin, it's very obvious for about half an hour afterwards because i have a huge red swath across my upper lip that looks like, well, i burned myself. it always happens, and it's not a real burn, but it's not too convenient because i feel like afterwards i need to escape from the public eye (why do i care though, really?)
i have never had to actively hunt out a waxer since i go to my friend Dana (an aesthetician) or her former business partner Melissa, depending on who's available. i may have problems if/when i move...
and i must say that i have as yet avoided the dreaded bikini wax. i never swim these days (and my current suit is low enough in the leg that i could probably get away with it, or some minor trimming) and since nobody's visiting the downstairs apartment it's not really a big deal to me. but due to the aforementioned sensitive skin i'm worried for the future.
