All About WAXING (Part 7)

[slickchick]

thanks sa tips sis mamapew and sis fidz! will schedule my waxing appointment mga late afternoon or early evening, para mas matagal nga yung time na hindi need basain. 

[fidz]

^u're welcome sis and enjoy being bare down there

[momiKENDEE]

ako naman depende ata sa technician yung sakit.. may iba talaga na considerate, meron na parang natutuwa pa ata pag umaaray ka! .. I once had an experience yung parang narape lang ang feeling. and ayoko din ng pnpluck pa after!

[slickchick]

i was at LayBare yesterday for my usual eyebrow threading, UA and leg waxing (i'm still preparing myself emotionally for the brazilian), when may nakasabay ako na guy who will undergo upper and lower lip waxing for the 1st time. the fear and apprehension on his face, plus the occasional cussing from his room was really funny. natapos na lahat nung procedures ko at nakalabas na ako, but the guy was only halfway through his upper and lower lip waxing.

i want to have my legs done today kaso nga lang i'm still having my monthlies, pwede ba magpawax pa rin?

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^pero di naman magkakapasa? di ba parang may narinig ata ako dati na if a girl has monthlies eh mas prone to bruising?

next week na lang ako magpapawax. gabi na rin naman. thanks anyway sis.

[fidz]

i avoid waxing during period kasi in waxing maoopen yung pores mo and possible na mapasukan ng lamig ang katawan which could lead to something else pain. maybe others don't believe it but i always observe on this kasi mas mabuti ng sumunod kung ikakabuti naman.

yehey nakapagpa-wax na ulit me.. I went to Laybare Market Market yesterday for package 2 service and ok naman.. ang sarap sa feeling na hair free na ulit specially down there..hehe..Akala ko nga I would suffer too much pain kasi 4 services agad in one session pero hindi naman, I was relaxed the whole time, maybe kasi ok ang pain tolerance ko.. ang ouch lang ay sa brazilian , naninibago siguro saka di pa sanay, pang 3rd time ko pa lang eh..they thread and pluck din pala pag sa brazi pero slight lang ang  pain kasi konti lang yung kinuha yung sobrang igsi at nipis na daw. I'm really happy with the results saka good thing I found a new kind technician, umalis na kasi yung dati ko..saka tipid na kasi package nga tapos may 10% less pa because I have PLC, not bad na talaga, kaya I super love Laybare

Hi girls! Pinag-isipan ko pa talagang mabuti kung itatanong ko ito kasi sobrang nahihiya ako.  Pero tanong ko na din. Anyway, I'm a bride-to-be and I plan to surprise my husband-to-be sa honeymoon namin by trying brazilian wax.  Questions:

1. Mga ilang days before the wedding dapat ako magpa-wax? From what I've read, mga after 1 week may tutubo ng stubbles so baka di na ma-maximize yung honeymoon?
2. Do you suggest that I have a trial muna ng brazilian waxing like a few months before the wedding?

Thanks!

[mamapeew]

^Hi sis! Congrats in advance.
Normally mga 2 days lang before your wedding, pwede ka na magpa BW. If you'd like to try it first pwede ka rin mag trial a few months before your wedding but make sure you'd give it ample time to grow back before your wedding. Baka maalanganin ka sa oras at di ka makapag BW, sayang ang surprise.
Marami rin akong apprehensions nung first time ko. I was scared of allergies or how my body would react sa brazilian waxing. Baka may apprehensions ka rin, you can try it out muna, see if you'd like it. You can also try bikini wax first if you want. That's what I did kasi nahiya din ako noon.

I and a friend will be availing The Strip's buddy promo later. Pareho kami kabado. Hahaha!

sa the strip-greenbelt kami pumunta. ang galing! ang sarap ng feeling. hahaha. I hope it doesn't sound weird when I say I actually enjoyed it. may pain pa rin pero marunong sila talaga. san masakit, san hindi gaanong masakit - inaalternate yata nila. napakaprofessional, walang awkwardness. grabe babalik ulit kami ng kasama ko before xmas. napagagreehan namin na sulit naman kahit yung regular rate pa nila ang kunin namin.

now I can cross this off my list of things to do before the year ends. dati kasi si hubby lang gumagawa sakin using epillin. 

sa mga first timers, i suggest asking a friend to go with you. para you can talk about it after, tapos tatawanan niyo lang lahat ng worries ninyo before going there.

[fidz]

you will definitely feel good after the wax. very clean feeling. for those who have plans palang, i'm sure you will enjoy it later

aside from laybare san pa ba mura na ang gamit is hot waxing? pangit kasi ang work sa laybare. sometimes di malinis. my friend was really recommending the one in their village (BF homes) pero sobrang foreign world na kasi ng paranaque for me. 

[slickchick]

^ sis, i've tried piandre before and they're using hot wax. but compared sa lay bare, medyo mas pricey sya talaga. pero from my experience before, malinis sila gumawa. i've tried piandre in libis and the one in greenbelt.

I've tried UA waxing sa Let's Face It Salon. They use hot wax and I liked it naman kaso sis in law ko mas gusto laybare (nasanay na ata kasi). Reasonable naman price ng LFI. A little bit higher than laybare pero di ganon kamahal (sorry, di ko maalala kung mga 400 o 500 price). Haven't tried their brazilian though.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^aah sis. yung SIL mo brazilian siya sa laybare? siguro i'll look for a good laybare branch. yung sa megamall is so tacky. i get this air of lack of professionalism sa mga staff.

[mamapeew]

^nope sis. UA lang din na-try nya. Wala raw syang lakas ng loob mag "bare all" sa harap ng ibang tao 

P.S. Older sya sa akin ng 7 years ha. 

I go to laybare in Congressional Ave. I guess swerte na lang na okay yung technician ko sa laybare. Sa mga kakilala kong dun pumupunta, okay rin naman sa kanila. Baka nataon lang na natapat ka sa staff na hindi okay. May nafeel din akong ganon sa iba but with my technician okay lang. Sa tagal kong pumupunta doon, nakita ko na rin na may off days din sila kahit gano sila ka-friendly before.

[mischa04]

me, I recommend Laybare Market Market in Taguig, nice, polite, and professional ang mga staff, saka magagaling din. I agree na unprofessional ang mga staff sa Megamall branch, saka hindi sila pulido gumawa and I get this feeling na parang ang dirty ko after waxing, there's this one time pa na nagpa-package 2 ako, dalawa silang gumawa kasi siguro nagmamadali sila at marami yung gagawin sakin, pumayag ako and sabi ko last na yung bw at isa lang sa kanila ang gagawa, ok daw, then all of a sudden one of them pulled my undies down kahit di pa tapos yung half leg ko, so I was like what the hell? di marunong magsabi? basta lang makahubad?, nakakainis lang kasi parang ang bastos. After nun hindi na ko nagpapagawa sa branch na yun. Isa pang kinaiinis ko sa kanila, halata na they expect for a tip, yung di ka pa nga nakakabayad nasa harap na sila at kulang na lang ay yung hand gesture na parang namamalimos, bibigyan naman sila so just wait discreetly na iabot sa kanila di ba. No offense po sa mga loyal Mega branch but that's just how I felt.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^naku sis ganun nga. nakakainis. parang ang bastos. meron yung isa di pa ako nakakalabas kinukuha na niya yung loyalty card ko tapos tiningnan niya, i think she's trying to get her tip before i leave the room, tapos when i didn't give any eh paulit-ulit at ang lakas na sinabi na "mam, next time po free na kayo, 100 off po". ainaku sabi ko oo nga pero hmph wala kang tip.

tapos meron pa silang isang staff na kung makatingin sa akin eh parang may masama akong ginawa. di ba dapat maging friendly sila with a ready smile, naku etong fat girl na ito hindi. tapos nairita na nga ako sa pagtingin niya eh nakipagtinginan na ako, i'm waiting for her to make the first move and smile at me (hello sino ba customer?) diyos ko po, di talaga nagsmile. tsk tsk.

i'll try other branches. pero may nakapagsabi sa akin meron daw na ok na branch within ortigas area.
pero market-market is accessible to me, i might try there next.

[rinapie]

i always go to laybare in katipunan, the one behind shakey's, ua, half leg and brazilian. nung first time ko na brazilian, pinagpawisan talaga ako, pero tolerable naman. sa mga sumonod, okay naman na. ngayon, sa legs and brazilian every 6-8 weeks lang ako magpagawa. sa ua lang talaga, since nag-she-shave ako dati, mas mabilis talaga kumapal. gusto ko i-try yung strip kaso ang layo e.
