So, let me just put this out there: I'm getting my first Brazilian wax on Saturday. Normally, I tend the forest myself. But, my husband's birthday is coming up and I'm having some girly surgery, so I thought I'd go for it. Plus, Casey talks so highly about it, and convinced Loralee to do it too, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon. I don't know much about the process except that it's probably going to hurt (probably, um yeah, definitely) and it lasts an hour. And hour! Yikes!
So, I'd love some advice from those of you that have done this. And please, someone tell me how I can go through this and leave with at least an ounce of dignity. The pictures in my head aren't pretty!
I also have a question, do I do any maintenance before I go? I haven't done anything in awhile. I mean, it's winter! And I knew I was going to do this, so I slacked off a bit. But, with the technician freak out if I go in looking like someone from Land of the Lost? Or should I just go as is?
It's kindof like cleaning before the cleaning lady comes, right?
I've never done Brazilian, but I've done the wax. It's really not that bad.

I would be terrified. LOL I can't wait to see the other comments you get - and better yet I can't wait to hear all about it once you've done it.

I've never done any maintenance before going - believe me - they've seen worse than you before,probably!

I will tell you my Brazilian wax story after you get yours on Saturday.
BUT, Tend Skin is a good product to use afterwards. They'll probably sell it at the spa.
p.s. I'm a shaver now.

You are VERY brave. I've researched and written about all types of hair removal as a women's mag journo and I thought the fact that I knew all the ins and outs (eeew,no pun intended) plus the fact that I know a bit about pain (had 3 kids)I should be fine. No. I wasn't. It bloody hurt! I went sort of dizzy and saw white speckles in front of my eyes when she whipped off the wax. I couldn't give a t**s that hubby loved it. I would never do it again. Never. I am a chicken - but not plucked! Good luck!
