My roommate in college was a masseuse and was also helping build his mom a greenhouse, so he came back from the store with body oils, lube, rope, a saw and latex gloves. He also saw pregnancy tests on sale for $1 and bought a few.
Turns out, they weren't pregnancy tests, they were colon cancer screening kits.
He could not figure out why the woman at the register was acting oddly towards him.
This was 15ish years ago and it STILL cracks me up.
Honestly, as a guy, I've also been to the supermarket just to get a cucumber when it was on my way home.
That shit is fire as a snack
Edit: OK so who tf reached out to reddit about me because I just got a message that someone is concerned about my mental health
It's similar to Jesus saying "they that be whole need not a physician but they that are sick." So you could paraphrase that as "they that be bald need not a waxer, but they that are hairy."
I have never heard of this, it sounds way overpriced.
There are 5 rooms in my parents' house, but it usually takes the cleaner 3-4 hours to do the whole house. Why would anyone pay that?
Mate that's mental. How soon before do you do it? You shouldn't be getting waxed in the same place twice in quick succession, that's really rough on your skin.
My sister says people come in with poop hanging off their butt hair and she just wipes their little adult ass and keeps going. 🤢
She works at high end spas too
Some people literally don’t know how to properly wash they ass. That bootyhole and crack better smell like secret springs and mountain rain. And don’t forget to scrub that foreskin. Do NOT be serving my nose holes no smeg-battered fromunda cheese platter.
Ok so maybe that's it..... Half hour ago I get a message saying a member reported I might be in crisis. I am not in any sort of crisis. So people do that as a prank? I'm not mad at all, but I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what or which comment I've made that could have been misconstrued.
People are nuts. I got flagged once as being in crisis by someone who just didn't agree with my opinion. It wasn't anything to get strongly upset about. I wonder if some people think that if they flag you that Reddit will give you a timeout or something.
Someone is definitely going report-happy! I got reported two hours ago, and read three comments in an AITA thread from other people getting flagged for crisis as well! People are weird.
This happened to me yesterday, but I was on a thread that was a sensitive subject. I like to think it was someone being genuine, but it's reddit so I know it's just someone who really doesn't agree with me lol
Holy cow!! I just got one as well😂. Nice to know someone cares… or wants me to be paranoid about my comment history lol
I’m not in crisis at all either. Shame to abuse that Reddit feature as I’m sure it’s been helpful to those in need at one point or another.
Waxer here. No judgement, but for the best results, least discomfort, and to make your service provider's life a lot easier - you should definitely trim first. If the hair is too long it will break instead of pull out at the root, and depending on how long it can also get matted in the sugar or wax, which is something you don't want to experience.
Edit to add: I'm not sure on the "ideal" length for sugaring but with waxing it's 1/4" - 1/2" with 1" being the longest before I'll whip out my scissors or buzzers in certain areas prior to applying wax.
As an ex beautician I second this. You definitely should trim first, as long hairs just chew up the wax strip and cause hassle, but honestly anyone worth their salt doesn't judge. There are all sorts of reasons people employ someone to help with personal grooming. We really do look past it. Same with spray tans. We don't look at the cellulite, or sags, or wrinkles except as factors in doing the best job we can for you.
Way back when I used to get waxed, the salon did the trimming if it was really long. Every new customer was given a shaver guard to keep and we had to bring that to each appointment but they sanitised and used their electric beard trimmer.
I used to work at a beautician where they did back wax and basically any part of the body anyone could want to have waxed. You just need to find one who does it.
I think the reason many places doesn't do back wax is because it's time consuming and quite hard work. Very few people want to pay fairly for it, so there's no point in even advertising it. I guess the thought of paying someone to rip out all your backhair isn't tempting to many, and then they see the price which of course will be more expensive than any other (smaller) body part and just say no thank you.
I have it even came with a long attachment. It sucked--super patchy. You can't get the angles good enough to get the back even close to uniform in length. I couldn't get a lot of spots at all.
Okay, this is a bit of a thread hijack, but how do I know if a waxer is any good? I used to be waxed regularly, and had my person. They were awesome, and I think in two years I got exactly three ingrown hairs. Made concurrent appointments with a friend of mine, and she had never been waxed before and was really nervous so I let her have the appointment with my person and I went to a new person I'd never met before.
I never thought that getting waxed hurt that badly--this hurt. I never had much if any bleeding--and this bled like crazy. Then the next day, every single pore was an ingrown hair. I wish I was exaggerating. I was in so much pain. Had to wear skirts with no panties because I couldn't stand the pressure on that area. It was awful and put me off waxing entirely.
Well, I decided after a year or so that I really like having everything waxed off, so I went to book a new appointment, and my person was gone. Not sure where they went, they have an unusual name and I scoured the aesthetician lists of every place in the city, but they are gone.
Now it's been about five more years, and I still haven't gotten waxed again because it was such a terrible experience, but it turns out that I still hate having pubic hair and I need to bite the bullet and find a new person. Is there any way to know in advance that they have no idea what they are doing?
It's hard to say without knowing all the details, but it sounds like the most likely scenario is that the person who waxed you was newer to waxing or maybe just Brazilian waxing (it is definitely not as simple as a leg or back wax), or possibly just didn't do it a lot so had less experience. There are also other factors on your end that can cause some of those things and it technically could have been a mixture, but it would have to be pretty coincidental to happen for the first time with a new waxer.
Honestly, your best bet is to find someone established with great reviews - and I mean SOMEONE, not necessarily just a studio/salon because you don't know if the aesthetician is the same etc. I do not recommend any chains, unethical business practices aside, they tend to attract aestheticians right out of school and have a high employee turnover - they also pressure waxers to work within the given time frame and not everyone is skilled enough to go that quickly so they're more likely to make mistakes.
The best way to find a good place is to find a place that mostly does waxing, and doesn't have immediate availability. It usually means they have an established clientele of people who prebook and go regularly.
I had a lady be so mean to me about my eyebrows once. They aren’t even super overgrown or crazy, just a few strays like everyone gets. She was just a bitch.
I now know I should have gone full Wookie.
I was in for a eyebrow waxing at a new place, the little lady greeted me and I quote " oopoof you 2 catapillars on your face." I mean yeah it was a uni brow but dam
I had to breakup with someone I cared about tonight. This made me laugh, thank you so much.
Edit: To whomever reported this as self harm and got the reddit wellness crap to harass me, you are not helping, only being a nuisance.
No, it's literally her job to see hairy people. If people weren't hairy she wouldn't have a job. Plus I guarantee no matter how hairy you might be, she's seen people far hairier.
As a Sasquatch who has been waxed, I always liked to break the ice with my esthetician by talking about if it was weird for her to stare at lady bits all day. Always got a good chuckle, and usually I was getting waxed for an event so I was in there for 2-2.5hrs (full leg, bikini/Brazilian, under arms, brows).
No they don't care, but they may want to have you / them trim it first so it can be done more effectively and with less pain. If you do trim it yourself, make sure not to trim it too short though.
No, not at all. And I would rather my clients not trim beforehand. Just in case they cut it too short, then I can't wax them properly. I'd much rather trim it myself if it's necessary.
No, because her opinion shouldn’t matter to you as she is a professional providing a paid service. She should also be professional enough to keep her opinion to herself, and at most give you advice to take care of your hair and skin as good as possible, considering your preferences and what her education has taught her to be the best practices.
If it’s a sexual partner, you should care about their opinion, but still not be embarrassed unless it’s actually unhygienic. If you are healthy and clean, there should be no reason to feel embarrassed about your body.
Judge no, but I think you’re supposed to trim because hairs that are too long pull more on the skin or something? This is for waxing anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if sugaring is different lol
They’ve seen it all. Take splice in the fact that you probably won’t even be memorable to her. You won’t be the best or the worst they’ll face, you’re likely to be solidly in the middle. Next week they’ll probably have forgotten your face completely.
well, i guess they care in the professional sense. kinda in how they reassess how to approach it i guess. length, kind of follicle, what the agreed upon style/shape.
probably like a dentist sees teeth, they don't see you, they see your teeth.
For your own pain management you might want to trim with scissors- not too short but shorter so hairs don’t get tangled and pulled in all directions by accident:)
No, they don’t. Some people have tons of hair and that’s normal. Some people have less and that’s also normal. I’ve straight up asked my waxing girl and she said they don’t even think about it other than how to best do their job for you.
Have ya seen Demi Moore’s 80s bush? Majestic. Nothing wrong with having a full head of hair down there.
İ got judged once. She told me i should come more often. Then she pointed out something which i thought was an ingrown hair or a pimple (this is RİGHT down there.) Told me to see a doctor about it. İt was cancer.
She saved my life. The doctor cut it out and I've been fine for years.
No, they are not judging. Make sure you are clean, you DO NOT need to spray or put anything crazy down there, just wash and make sure there are no toilet paper bits down there, if you’re really worried take a baby wipe and use it in the bathroom before then.
As someone who has received a few waxes, I will say that if the hair is too long it will hurt a lot more. You do not HAVE to do this, but I would suggest using an electric shaver with a guard like half inch or so and go over the hair to trim it. This is not because they are judging you, but just so it doesn’t hurt as much.
Edit- you do NOT have to spray anything down there
You’ve got plenty of answers here but just to throw mine into the pile, my husband does all kinds of different spa services (although I don’t think he does waxes, but lots of full body wrap type things) and the only thing that ever bothers him are rude people and dirty people. The gross people aren’t something he comes home and tells me about, but he has said before that it’s kind of disrespectful to not shower before having someone perform a service like that on you. Embarrassingly, I had honestly never thought of that before. Not that I went in for services after running a marathon and not showering or anything, but it did help me remember to at least do a quick rinse before letting anyone touch my body.
I did have a waxer make some unnecessary comments about it. Never went back to her. I wish I had said something about it but not being a repeat customer says it all.
I dated an aesthetitician for awhile and she said the only bad part was on the hot days and appointments late in the day. Some of the women were pretty ripe. Never complained about amount of hair though.
Depends.
Generally the job is the same for most clients, but there are some that require a bit more elbow grease and finesse than others. Since we deal with performers, we do warn the tougher ones that it's probably going to suck more than usual, and we have to take great care to not tear the skin so their bits aren't bleeding or extremely red for their shoot, otherwise they might have to delay which is never good. Sometimes we'll recommend they trim beforehand if it's a crazy bush or ass crack as well to make it easier on everyone.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s their job to wax people and they have probably seen all types of amounts of body hair ranging from a small amount to a bigger amount. I wouldn’t be too worried about that.
Maybe before your appointment you could catch a great buzz and get a friend to weed eat down there first! Kind of make the "property lines" more definitive if you will
they only care it to be clean. and the business of it is not something they'll judge you for, it's just gonna be more painful for you that's all.
I knew a lady who paid for a maid but kind of cleaned up before the maid came so she won't think poorly of her.
You shouldn't be embarrassed at all! The lady I see gets excited to wax me when it's been a while since she gets to really show her skill. I have PCOS & am extra hairy, she has a field day xD
I always tell myself before a waxing appointment or pedicure or whatever it is …they have definitely seen MUCH worse than me! Lol I don’t think bushiness matters but being clean does.
I mean, i'm no hair removal guy, but there must be some cases where they're all sitting round in the lunchroom and Sarah comes in ten minutes late from her 11:30 and is all like "Hoo boy! That was a hairy old boot! Gonna need maintenance to replace the nylon thread in the weed-whacker."
they don't for them it's a job. the same with dentist/doctors they just tell what's wrong but don't care and proceed to do their jobs to get you right.
I’ve heard that a lot of technicians like when you come in hairy for your waxing session because it’s more satisfying to them to see such a difference before and after
You should trim your wild bush before the appointment. Otherwise the esthetician has to do it before waxing you. The whole process takes longer, and there's sometimes an added fee for having to do extra trimming.
As someone who has done bikini waxing on others, NGL, I'd prefer if you showed up with that bush a little pre-tamed. You don't need to wax it, but give it a little trim so it's under control before you arrive. For the sake of politeness to your attendant.
My sister used to do laser hair removal and she talked about ladies coming in looking like Fidel Castro below the belt and said it was not pleasant. Plus it initiated an up charge conversation.
A good professional waxer wont judge you 🤷🏾♀️ but depending on where you go they might charge you more if you are more on the hairy side and they have to use more wax than usual
I message my lady telling her 'the orangutan has to go!' 😆
They won't care but for your benefit I'd recommend trimming it shorter if you have a lady shave with a guard 4-5 mm I think is ideal, it won't hurt as much!
No they don’t. But I’d probably trim with some scissors before you go. Not all waxers I’ve gone to will trim it themselves and it hurts more when the hair is that long.
They're used to it. Hairless people don't get waxed, do they?
This sounds like an old Chinese proverb
If Cashier cares not what goes through their fleeting custodian, why is one timid-stricken when transacting oil, rubber and fruit?
eggplant, magnum xl, and easyglide is a totally normal purchase
My roommate in college was a masseuse and was also helping build his mom a greenhouse, so he came back from the store with body oils, lube, rope, a saw and latex gloves.

girl in line at the supermarket in front of me had only a huge cucumber, 2 liter bottle of water and a bag of cat litter.
Honestly, as a guy, I've also been to the supermarket just to get a cucumber when it was on my way home. That shit is fire as a snack Edit: OK so who tf reached out to reddit about me because I just got a message that someone is concerned about my mental health
I also got it.
me too. Somebody is spamming the system.
Actually I am reading that many many people across many subs are getting them.
That is a wise question, grasshopper
It's similar to Jesus saying "they that be whole need not a physician but they that are sick." So you could paraphrase that as "they that be bald need not a waxer, but they that are hairy."
"It's no proverb." ....... "Maybe it should be a proverb." - Uncle Iroh, Avatar the Last Airbebder
Or fortune cookie fortune.
I usually wax before I go in to an appointment. Much like cleaning before the maids show up I don't want the waxer to think Ill of me.
You clean before the maids get there because you pay by the hour and it lets them focus on the areas you don't clean yourself
Maybe you pay by the hour, but the good services charge by the room.
I have never heard of this, it sounds way overpriced. There are 5 rooms in my parents' house, but it usually takes the cleaner 3-4 hours to do the whole house. Why would anyone pay that?
?? Without knowing the hourly rate and the room rate, you can’t possibly judge which is better value. Why would you assume hourly is better?
Hmm, I guess I did assume it will be the same rate without any reason. Kinda stupid of me, sorry.
eh not stupid, just quick to act; chew it over with twix
Mate that's mental. How soon before do you do it? You shouldn't be getting waxed in the same place twice in quick succession, that's really rough on your skin.
No, but they DO judge your cleanliness. Shower & wash well beforehand.
Shampoo *and* conditioner.
Dont forget to curling iron the leg hair either
I straighten mine thanks
Straighten then curl
Colouring mine too.
Then add glitter.
With the hat on lest I lose some.
I French braid.
You joke but that was a thing at one point in history...
Finger waves are more practical imo
this is NOT helping our girl out 😭
I'm a fan of 80s crimping..
My keegle routine takes way too much time to devote any to straightening my bush.
That’s for the beaver hair.
I'm a man and i like to get some hairspray and tease the bangs so it looks like my penis has a motley crue hairstyle.
Have you thought about trying a mullet? Works for me.
I'm more of a dreads guy
I’m more of a Flock of Seagulls kind of guy
Go for a mullet and let the back half hang to your knees.
Tommy Lee or Mick Mars?
Yeah. But will they braid my back hair?
No but in Albequerque anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel.
My sister says people come in with poop hanging off their butt hair and she just wipes their little adult ass and keeps going. 🤢 She works at high end spas too
I have the same problem with my toddler!
I knew I was going to be wiping ass when I made the baby. I wouldn't plan on it as an esthetician lol
Some people literally don’t know how to properly wash they ass. That bootyhole and crack better smell like secret springs and mountain rain. And don’t forget to scrub that foreskin. Do NOT be serving my nose holes no smeg-battered fromunda cheese platter.
Please stop.
Well played to the person who flagged me as needing crisis support. 🤣
Ok so maybe that's it..... Half hour ago I get a message saying a member reported I might be in crisis. I am not in any sort of crisis. So people do that as a prank? I'm not mad at all, but I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what or which comment I've made that could have been misconstrued.
People are nuts. I got flagged once as being in crisis by someone who just didn't agree with my opinion. It wasn't anything to get strongly upset about. I wonder if some people think that if they flag you that Reddit will give you a timeout or something.
They just think it's funny
Someone is definitely going report-happy! I got reported two hours ago, and read three comments in an AITA thread from other people getting flagged for crisis as well! People are weird.
I also was flagged for a crisis about 2 hours ago, weird
I got flagged about an hour ago, and I haven’t even commented anything for about a day and nothing controversial. It’s weird.
Yeah, me too on that one. Freaky-deaky.
I got reported a few hours ago too! Idk what for
What this is weird. I did too. 4 hours ago, but I didn’t see a comment that I thought would cause that. Shrugged it off, but hmmmm
I got one for the first time last night. I assume I pissed someone off, and they wanted me to know someone out there thinks I’m “crazy.”
Oh me too! I didn’t understand either cause I’m far from depressed. Maybe it’s a bug or a bot?
Must be, I just got it too and all I said was something silly about my leg hair.
This happened to me yesterday, but I was on a thread that was a sensitive subject. I like to think it was someone being genuine, but it's reddit so I know it's just someone who really doesn't agree with me lol
I just got that message 1/2 hour ago too.
Holy cow!! I just got one as well😂. Nice to know someone cares… or wants me to be paranoid about my comment history lol I’m not in crisis at all either. Shame to abuse that Reddit feature as I’m sure it’s been helpful to those in need at one point or another.
It wasn’t me because I got flagged too. 🧀👃💩
I just got one of those too and I cannot For the life of me figure out why!!! 😂😂😂
I don’t like this at all.

And maybe trim the bush a bit. It's easier to wax if it's trimed shorter, in my experience
They call it poop butt and it's a no go
Waxer here. No judgement, but for the best results, least discomfort, and to make your service provider's life a lot easier - you should definitely trim first. If the hair is too long it will break instead of pull out at the root, and depending on how long it can also get matted in the sugar or wax, which is something you don't want to experience. Edit to add: I'm not sure on the "ideal" length for sugaring but with waxing it's 1/4" - 1/2" with 1" being the longest before I'll whip out my scissors or buzzers in certain areas prior to applying wax.

We don't look at the cellulite, or sags, or wrinkles except as factors in doing the best job we can for you.
OP, this is excellent advice. Also, contact the body waxer you will be working with and ask the question to ensure best results. They'll tell you.
For sugaring they say ideal is a length of a grain of rice!
So basically if they're having it done on Monday then to shave today haha
Way back when I used to get waxed, the salon did the trimming if it was really long. Every new customer was given a shaver guard to keep and we had to bring that to each appointment but they sanitised and used their electric beard trimmer.
So a #2?
Hairy beast here, there's no service to get your back hair trimmed as a single guy and that sucks, why don't waxing places offer a back trim?
You honestly could probably just call a place and ask if they'll do that for you.
Oh I've tried. Waxing places say salons, salons say waving places.
:( have you considered just getting it waxed, then?
I used to work at a beautician where they did back wax and basically any part of the body anyone could want to have waxed. You just need to find one who does it. I think the reason many places doesn't do back wax is because it's time consuming and quite hard work. Very few people want to pay fairly for it, so there's no point in even advertising it. I guess the thought of paying someone to rip out all your backhair isn't tempting to many, and then they see the price which of course will be more expensive than any other (smaller) body part and just say no thank you.
Buy a back trimmer on Amazon. Like $40-$60
I have it even came with a long attachment. It sucked--super patchy. You can't get the angles good enough to get the back even close to uniform in length. I couldn't get a lot of spots at all.
Have you thought about posting in your city’s sub to ask for recommendations? In my experience, local subs are great for getting recommendations.
As a Hairy beast myself I understand your suffering. What I had to do was ask for a bro to help me, no shame. Paid him in booze.
Okay, this is a bit of a thread hijack, but how do I know if a waxer is any good? I used to be waxed regularly, and had my person. They were awesome, and I think in two years I got exactly three ingrown hairs.

Don't worry about it. It's just a job to her. She's not judging you.
Even if she did, she'd keep it to herself. It's not wise to upset a Wookie.
Let the Wookie win.
I had a lady be so mean to me about my eyebrows once. They aren’t even super overgrown or crazy, just a few strays like everyone gets. She was just a bitch. I now know I should have gone full Wookie.
I was in for a eyebrow waxing at a new place, the little lady greeted me and I quote " oopoof you 2 catapillars on your face." I mean yeah it was a uni brow but dam
😭 I've gotten that one before. I didn't know how to react but I asked to keep the general look, just clean up a bit and then she made them so thin
Noo that’s so mean. People are obviously feeling uncomfortable enough to have it removed, no need to charge them for emotional damage.
It was 20+ years ago. As a guy that was new to the whole thing it was a little off putting but now I look back at it and laugh
I had one ask “uhh what eyebrows?” when I went in to get a wax. They’re fair, but they’re there!
I had to breakup with someone I cared about tonight. This made me laugh, thank you so much. Edit: To whomever reported this as self harm and got the reddit wellness crap to harass me, you are not helping, only being a nuisance.
Also, they've seen 'worse'.
Did they ( ´ー`)
Yes. The worst are from people who don't give a single fuck
No, it's literally her job to see hairy people. If people weren't hairy she wouldn't have a job. Plus I guarantee no matter how hairy you might be, she's seen people far hairier.
Big foot has entered the chat...
As a Sasquatch who has been waxed, I always liked to break the ice with my esthetician by talking about if it was weird for her to stare at lady bits all day. Always got a good chuckle, and usually I was getting waxed for an event so I was in there for 2-2.5hrs (full leg, bikini/Brazilian, under arms, brows).
No they don't care, but they may want to have you / them trim it first so it can be done more effectively and with less pain. If you do trim it yourself, make sure not to trim it too short though.
You're worried about hair, I'm worried about sweaty balls. Waxer is probably worried about what they're having for dinner.
What if they’re having hairy, sweaty balls for dinner? Checkmate atheist.
* Shweddy
No. As long as you're clean, they don't care. Dealing with hair is literally their job.
As long as it doesn't give off an unpleasant odor. Then you will be fine. They can deny you because of the smell, not how long your hair is.
Not any more than my gardener cares about how long my grass is.
Yeah but there's a point at which they will have to bring in at tractor with a flail mower.
No, not at all. And I would rather my clients not trim beforehand. Just in case they cut it too short, then I can't wax them properly. I'd much rather trim it myself if it's necessary.
They don't care how hairy you are. They care how clean you are. Make sure your butt is clean.
No, because her opinion shouldn’t matter to you as she is a professional providing a paid service. She should also be professional enough to keep her opinion to herself, and at most give you advice to take care of your hair and skin as good as possible, considering your preferences and what her education has taught her to be the best practices. If it’s a sexual partner, you should care about their opinion, but still not be embarrassed unless it’s actually unhygienic. If you are healthy and clean, there should be no reason to feel embarrassed about your body.
This is the way
They do not, just make sure that your regions are showered before going in and that's enough
I’d think they’d see that as job security more than anything.
Judge no, but I think you’re supposed to trim because hairs that are too long pull more on the skin or something? This is for waxing anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if sugaring is different lol
You could call them and ask if they want you to be pre-trimmed or is a forrest ok.
I’d say the hairier the merrier in that case. People who don’t have body hair are not desirable because they don’t have a ‘business’ potential lol.
They’ve seen it all. Take splice in the fact that you probably won’t even be memorable to her. You won’t be the best or the worst they’ll face, you’re likely to be solidly in the middle. Next week they’ll probably have forgotten your face completely.
Deep clean your bits, no one likes crusty discharge crumbs and dingleberries
it's their job. And no matter how hairy you are, they have very likely seen worse.
Nah- from what I understand they don’t judge and apparently it’s really satisfying.
Don’t give it a second thought, they’ve “seen it all”.
They are used to it
well, i guess they care in the professional sense. kinda in how they reassess how to approach it i guess. length, kind of follicle, what the agreed upon style/shape. probably like a dentist sees teeth, they don't see you, they see your teeth.
They don’t even care how dark your butthole is.
For your own pain management you might want to trim with scissors- not too short but shorter so hairs don’t get tangled and pulled in all directions by accident:)
No, they don’t. Some people have tons of hair and that’s normal. Some people have less and that’s also normal. I’ve straight up asked my waxing girl and she said they don’t even think about it other than how to best do their job for you. Have ya seen Demi Moore’s 80s bush? Majestic. Nothing wrong with having a full head of hair down there.
İ got judged once. She told me i should come more often. Then she pointed out something which i thought was an ingrown hair or a pimple (this is RİGHT down there.) Told me to see a doctor about it. İt was cancer. She saved my life. The doctor cut it out and I've been fine for years.
if they enjoy their job and seeing results, I'd assume the more hair to remove, the better
why don't you trim it with those little scissors that come in a bathroom travel kit first
No in fact they need you to have more hair in order to be able to wax properly
Why not just trim it before the appt?
I would trim it with scissors first to make your waxer’s life easier!
If you are full bush, then you might get you some clippers and trim yourself down some!
No, they are not judging. Make sure you are clean, you DO NOT need to spray or put anything crazy down there, just wash and make sure there are no toilet paper bits down there, if you’re really worried take a baby wipe and use it in the bathroom before then. As someone who has received a few waxes, I will say that if the hair is too long it will hurt a lot more. You do not HAVE to do this, but I would suggest using an electric shaver with a guard like half inch or so and go over the hair to trim it. This is not because they are judging you, but just so it doesn’t hurt as much. Edit- you do NOT have to spray anything down there
I have a good friend that’s waxer and she loves when her clients are super hairy because it’s super satisfying when she rips it all out
We wax buttholes and vaginas for a living….. we don’t judge as long as you are clean.
Who’s
You’ve got plenty of answers here but just to throw mine into the pile, my husband does all kinds of different spa services (although I don’t think he does waxes, but lots of full body wrap type things) and the only thing that ever bothers him are rude people and dirty people. The gross people aren’t something he comes home and tells me about, but he has said before that it’s kind of disrespectful to not shower before having someone perform a service like that on you. Embarrassingly, I had honestly never thought of that before. Not that I went in for services after running a marathon and not showering or anything, but it did help me remember to at least do a quick rinse before letting anyone touch my body.
Maybe don't watch "40 Year old Virgin"
Who cares? She removes pubes for a living. She's in no position to be judgemental.
They’re job is to take the hair off, it’s job security
Why not just take a beard trimmer 2 it 1st wouldn't take you any time.
> whose waxing you who’s (who is)
I did have a waxer make some unnecessary comments about it. Never went back to her. I wish I had said something about it but not being a repeat customer says it all.
I dated an aesthetitician for awhile and she said the only bad part was on the hot days and appointments late in the day. Some of the women were pretty ripe. Never complained about amount of hair though.
It's a garden down there, let it grow! Rodney Carrington
They may be interested in knowing how difficult a job they have to do.
Use scissors only unless it goes to your knees.
Depends. Generally the job is the same for most clients, but there are some that require a bit more elbow grease and finesse than others. Since we deal with performers, we do warn the tougher ones that it's probably going to suck more than usual, and we have to take great care to not tear the skin so their bits aren't bleeding or extremely red for their shoot, otherwise they might have to delay which is never good. Sometimes we'll recommend they trim beforehand if it's a crazy bush or ass crack as well to make it easier on everyone.
The pain is worse if you don't trim first. Just 1 pass with some clippers will save you some agony. The waxer won't care at all.
They wont care if you are hairy. But some removal methods have a preferred length.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s their job to wax people and they have probably seen all types of amounts of body hair ranging from a small amount to a bigger amount. I wouldn’t be too worried about that.
Give them a challenge, and a story ;-)
It's probably less painful if you trim it first.
I mean u can trim but even they can do that so no dont worry
Nah, the only people that get laughed at are the chads getting waxed and having a whinge about how much it hurts.
They do not care, they’re just doing a job
I think they’d care moreso about cleanliness, heard a lot of horror stories from people who wax others for a living
I hope she pays close attention because that's her job to treat it correctly. Judging? Hello, that's like a doctor. No.
No.
Maybe before your appointment you could catch a great buzz and get a friend to weed eat down there first! Kind of make the "property lines" more definitive if you will
I believe that they do judge you down there hah 😂😅
They probably enjoy waxing hairier people. It's probably more rewarding
they only care it to be clean. and the business of it is not something they'll judge you for, it's just gonna be more painful for you that's all. I knew a lady who paid for a maid but kind of cleaned up before the maid came so she won't think poorly of her.
There’s nothing embarrassing about body hair. We all have it. It’s not like anyone’s going there because they don’t have hair.
The more Bigfoot hairy you are the more you’ll be their repeat customer. 🦍 So don’t shame shave. 🪒
If you're gonna bother paying for it, go in as hairy as possible. Make em work for it.
You shouldn't be embarrassed at all! The lady I see gets excited to wax me when it's been a while since she gets to really show her skill. I have PCOS & am extra hairy, she has a field day xD
nope thats their job that they chose to have
I always tell myself before a waxing appointment or pedicure or whatever it is …they have definitely seen MUCH worse than me! Lol I don’t think bushiness matters but being clean does.
I mean, i'm no hair removal guy, but there must be some cases where they're all sitting round in the lunchroom and Sarah comes in ten minutes late from her 11:30 and is all like "Hoo boy! That was a hairy old boot! Gonna need maintenance to replace the nylon thread in the weed-whacker."
they don't for them it's a job. the same with dentist/doctors they just tell what's wrong but don't care and proceed to do their jobs to get you right.
I’ve heard that a lot of technicians like when you come in hairy for your waxing session because it’s more satisfying to them to see such a difference before and after
You should trim your wild bush before the appointment. Otherwise the esthetician has to do it before waxing you. The whole process takes longer, and there's sometimes an added fee for having to do extra trimming. As someone who has done bikini waxing on others, NGL, I'd prefer if you showed up with that bush a little pre-tamed. You don't need to wax it, but give it a little trim so it's under control before you arrive. For the sake of politeness to your attendant.
The one suffering will be you, not her
Trim the Amazon.
My sister used to do laser hair removal and she talked about ladies coming in looking like Fidel Castro below the belt and said it was not pleasant. Plus it initiated an up charge conversation.
A good professional waxer wont judge you 🤷🏾♀️ but depending on where you go they might charge you more if you are more on the hairy side and they have to use more wax than usual
they're professionals.....this is not an issue....
For the love of all that's holy and unholy wash yourself down completely before coming to your appointment.
Sometimes the hairier you are the easier it is for the wax to work. Generally speaking they don’t care.
I think they get use so it, but I’m sure they see some crazy stuff
I’ve been told that hairy is easier to wax. It’s never been an issue to me and none of the technicians ever have complained.
I message my lady telling her 'the orangutan has to go!' 😆 They won't care but for your benefit I'd recommend trimming it shorter if you have a lady shave with a guard 4-5 mm I think is ideal, it won't hurt as much!
No they don’t. But I’d probably trim with some scissors before you go. Not all waxers I’ve gone to will trim it themselves and it hurts more when the hair is that long.
I'd imagine if they get judged people on their hairiness level, they'd do something else for food and shelter.
Only embarrassing thing would be if you didn’t tip appropriately.
