I had been wanting to get waxed for some time. I did it about ten years ago and remember it being pretty cool. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of bikram yoga and I thought it may help in certain areas, but mainly I was just sick of seeing hair on my chest.
I found a couple of places online and actually spoke to one woman who I think does it out of her home. She was cool and all but…
After quite a bit of searching I found the Newbury St Day Spa. I called, left a message, and then thought “do I really need to do this?”
At that point I was like fuck it I’m just being weird. At 10 I got a call back but was on the other line. I decide that I wanted to do it so I called back and made the appointment for legs, arms, and chest.
After I committed to it I thought to myself again “are people going to think I weird? Am I weird? Why the hell is this important to me?” I blew that off and went throughout my day.
Once I got there I was greeted by Corona who told me Ummie would be with me in a minute. I waited as he poured me some water…
Ummie came to get me and brought be to the room where we would be for the next few hours. She said “So Aaron we are going to be spending a lot of time together.” I laughed.
Waxing technology has come a long way as they now have this rolling wax that makes it easy for them to apply the wax.
She started at the bottom of my legs and worked her way up. After the first few pulls she asked me if I had taken any pain-killers. I coyly replied no and then jokingly asked if I should have. She said yes it is goo to take something blah blah blah. I thought about how if I had taken anything I definitely wouldn’t be spending money getting waxed.
We talked about a variety of different things and overall it was a great experience. She was fun to be with eventhough it was a bit painful at times.
As far as the results go there were a few I didn’t expect the first being that I don’t stink after yoga! I didn’t realize how much hair makes to smell. The other is sweating in general. It seems like my body is better at cooling without hair.
All in all I prefer it, but it is expensive so we will see if I keep it up.
