Yesterday a returning client came in for a Brazilian, her last one I did back in September with NO problems or complaints.
As soon as I make my first strip with hard wax she is hurting. The whole process was a NIGHTMARE every strip hurt. This client is tough, she's a US Marine for 13 years. In her previous appointments just laid there took it like a champ, never complained.
We go back over her health history and she is like the only thing I am doing different is taking Thermogenics (Hydroxycut) and drinking Guarana Tea to help burn fat for her annual physical. She is on birth control and hasn't had a period in 3 years, so can couldn't determine if the increase on pain was due to her cycle.
Has anyone ever come across a situation like this? Granted I'm still green and only have about 30 brazilians under my belt but have NEVER had an issue like this. I am trying to do some more research regarding the increase body heat from the supplements would increase blood flow down there causing an increase of pain.
I always hurt a ton more when I am ovulating. Even thought she does not have a period- she still has the hormonal change. I used to be hooked on red bull and it made my hair grow to thick and fast.
I'm going to say it's the hydroxycut. It contains a large amount of vitamin B, and is also extremely stimulating. I would suggest to her not taking it the day of an appointment, that may help a little. Also she could take a few ibuprofen about an hour before and that may help to offset the effects from the stimulants.
