Comment by Rachael Pontillo on January 26, 2011 at 12:49pm: LOL gotta love waxing stories. I do my own brows, lip and bikini (with hard wax...Berins) and haven't had problems in those areas, but I tried to do my own underarms with soft wax...big mistake. Of course I was trying to see why people recommend the hard wax for the underarms vs the soft. Well the soft wax was horribly painful in that area and left me with a gigantic purple bruise. So now I know :)

Comment by Susan Ferguson on January 26, 2011 at 12:41pm: I don't know about anyone else, but when I got out of school I thought I should wax everything. Sooo, I started with who else? Me.... I was going to do a Brazilian. After my shop closed I went into my room and proceeded to apply wax to the specified area, the whole thing, and of course I was not able to quite get the right angle. Leaning on my table and the other leg propped up on my counter I proceeded to pull off wax.... The nice soft tissue between your legs at the panty line immediately welted up and bruised an awful color of purple. It was easily 3/4 of an inch by 1 1/2 inches in size. I had tears running down my face and was laughing so hard at the same time that I thought I was going to wet myself. The terrible thing was I could not stop, I still had wax on the rest of the area..... To this day, 13 yrs. later, I still do not wax that part myself.

Comment by Deirdre J. Boath on January 19, 2011 at 11:08pm: Wax on... Skin OFF!?! So we assume that we will always check the temp of the wax for our clients right? Yes. Most of the time anyhow. Well one day I was in a rush and needed to wax my own brows. I had just come in to the office right after showering and stirred the wax. Seemed ok by consistency... I was wrong. My skin was still soft from my shower (I live close to my office) and the wax a bit hot since it had not been opened for a few hours. Needless to say; the next day while visiting a friend... a few hours into it, I asked if she notice my nice brows ;) She said oh yeah, I thought it was some kind of eye shadow. lol! I had burnt my brows :( Nice job Esto!! Haha... won't do that again! Especially to a client!!
