Body Waxing: 11 Behind the Scenes Salon Secrets

From clients who don't freshen up to staph infections, pro waxers share their (often gross) stories.

What waxers are really thinking when they're looking at your you-know-what:

Let's set the record straight: None of the waxers we talked to say they ever judge/compare/critique the bodies of their clients. This is what they do everyday, so it quickly stops being weird for them. Most waxers are just looking at your below-the-waist area in terms of where to remove hair from next.

Shays says some women are reluctant to get undressed their first time getting a bikini wax and will try to keep their underwear on, but it really isn't necessary. Barshop says when waxers come out of their rooms, they may comment that their clients were so nice/friendly/whatever, but they never talk about what their bodies look like.

I love the "there's always someone worse" quote, that definitely makes me feel better

Nice, but I'm still hesitant about waxing because it's painful.

ooooooooh OUCH!. I am not a fan of Body Waxing and I never will be. One reason first of a all is because that stuff really hurts and sometimes the hot wax could rip off your skin as well. For me, the only thing I do to keep my skin feeling would be to shave. That's my only technique and it will only be my only technique because it's not as painful whenever you scrape your skin with a razor it heals up in a few weeks or days. But, whenever you get body waxed and your sking kind of rips off, it takes probably monthes for the scar to heal up and then When it does heal there will be a mark shown on your body that ou don't like and. And then your gonna wish that you should of never got the waxed body treatment. But I'm just saying for some people, stick to your razors and shave instead of getting your body waxed because body wax will probably lead to scars that will never go away in the future.!
