Miscellaneous: Hairy situation

Hairy situation

By Kelly - 02/03/2009 23:38 - United States

Today, I went to get my underarms waxed. I'm usually not self-conscious because I figure they see worse stuff all the time. When I raised my arm for her to wax my armpit she looked at me, laughed and said, "Well I guess that's how I know it's winter in Wisconsin!" FML

Today, I went to have my eyebrows waxed for the first time. After signing in the receptionist looked at me and said "Lip wax?". I told her no, my eyebrows. She sat me down and the waxer walked up, took one look at me and said "Lip wax?" FML

Today, I went with my sister to get our eyebrows waxed. I didn't think my eyebrows were that bad--and they weren't! When the guy waxed my eyebrows, he gestured my lips and said, "Moustache, too?" Mortified, I said, "No!" to which he replied, "Aw, someone no get kissy tonight." FML

Today, my friend and I decided to get bikini waxes. Afterwards, the women who did the waxing told my friend it was $30 for her wax. Then, in front of the whole salon, the women points at me and says, "You! You so hairy- $35!". FML

Assumptions

Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML

Today, I was getting my chest waxed. The woman dipped the stick into the wax and hit her elbow, making wax fall into my eyes. FML

Today, I shaved my legs and armpits for the first time in 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hot date, I just had my yearly gyno exam. FML

Today, I realized that the full body wax I got two weeks ago that my wife told me would look sexy doesn't just make me look like a completely hairless ten-year-old boy. The ingrown hairs everywhere now make me look like someone with chicken pox. FML

F*ck the patriarchy

Today, I watched as my girlfriend painfully plucked her eyebrows for half an hour. She is willing to do this, but not shave her armpits on a regular basis. FML

Usually, waxers try to make people comftable, and making jokes is a nice way. I've seen people say "omg i could go camp in there" so you see And #5, being offended is not against the law, just laugh out loud a big time and let it go ;)

If your from Wisco, than ya know that no one shaves during the winter. Its just to cold. Girls don't wear anything revealing. Men are all deer hunting. What do you want from us?

Seriously, there's nothing gross about underarm hair. It's natural and it doesn't mean someone is dirty. Doesn't mean you have to like it, but it's not GROSS. I would have been really annoyed too, especially if I'd never met the esthetician before. It's rude to comment on someone's appearance like that. I'm picturing if I went in to get my hair cut... no hair dresser worth her salt would say, "Yeah, clearly it needs cut." I mean, you're there... why drive home the point? It makes you feel bad.

i totally understand. i feel waxers are frequently rude and say things like that... probably because they have to wax people for a living.
