Weird (maybe TMI) Question about Unwanted Hair

haha thanks for all the replies!

I'm definitely interested in threading, but I'm such a baby - I'm scared to do it!! And I didn't realize they would thread your lip - I thought it was only for eyebrows.

Any recommendations on where to go for threading around the huntington station area?

Believe or not, I think getting the bikini wax hurts a LOT less than eyebrow/lip wax. But I'm weird like that...

i get them both lasered. which is annoying b/c i'm not supposed to wax, which is what i would normally do for my lip.

I'll hopefully get lasered right before, and my armpits i'll just shave

this is going to sound disgusting but there is a reason why you break out in a salon. The problem is that many times they dont use a new stick, they just used it on somebody previously and then you put it back into the wax and the cycle goes on. Also depends ALOT on what they put on you afterwards. Ive seen some salons put this oily thing on and really dont think it works. I use a gel that is specifically for this and not to get bumps.

What kind of gel do you use? It would be nice to have no bumps after getting waxed.

its called after wax cooling gel. On the bottle the design kinda looks like a honeycomb, it says gigi as the name but its Gi and the Gi underneath it not all together if that makes sense lol

It has cucumber extract to soothe redness and aloe vera to moisturize, and a few other stuff in it

YEa i would love to know- I'm getting practically my whole body waxed next week! Legs, bikini, arms and armpits

I know this is totally taboo, but I use a trimmer on my lip I'm afraid to wax because i think I'll break out. I JUST got my eyebrows done so that'll be good- i may have to pluck a few but it'll be fine

So do you bring it with you when you get waxed? Or do you put it on once you get home?

I would be like excuse me miss, but can I put this gel on otherwise I'll look like I have the chicken pox...

I have the same problem with the ole pits - but eh, what are you going to do.

I have a different problem from the lip hair (more TMI coming your way).

I have a 'beard'. Or a 'chin strap' as FH likes to call it. On either side of my chin. I tweeze, I shave, I've even tried 'Veeting' it but by the end of the day - yup! You guessed it - I have a five o'clock shadow. It grows that fast! So, by the end of my wedding, as I'm kissing people goodbye, I'll be nice and scruffy

have you ever thought of laser hair removal

Ahhhh - okay so I have two questions: (1) Can I go to your house to get waxed? and (2) If I can't, which will make me very sad does your mom have any salons near midtown (grand central location)?
