Why is it that every time I go in for a wax, the ‘technician’ demands to know if I’ve shaved? Mind you, this is alway asked in a demanding as well as accusing tone of voice. I can never figure it out if they do this to make me feel guilty for not coming to them every four weeks religiously or if they are just trying to feel superior in a demented way. I did used to stammer a reply that I did shave and left feeling not only bald but 5 inches tall. Finally I decided to turn the tables and say in just as mean a tone that ‘of course I did and if you are any good, you’ll do a good job despite the fact that I have made my hairs more course by shaving.’ This approach seemed great until two days later when my newly waxed self began growing when it was not supposed to for another three weeks and five days. Was she incompetent as a waxer or did she purposefully just break the hairs?
So what is a girl (or guy) to do when one finds oneself supine with one’s legs spread in a small little room smelling of baby power and wax? Solution: Pay with a credit card and go back and tell them they have two choices: Redo or have the charges reversed.
