EDITED: Changed star rating from 2 stars to 1--after the swelling died down, I've noticed that I'm actually missing a bunch of skin! Literally raw. No wonder I couldn't walk. Holy crap. AVOID at all costs. I almost wish I wasn't going to Vegas in the morning so I could go and demand my money back. -------------------I came in today to get an upper leg, eyebrow, brazilian, and back wax. I'd booked it in person yesterday, and I noticed that the man hadn't actually written down what I was coming in for next to my name yesterday. When I came in, I was able to go into the room almost immediately even though I was about 10 minutes early and there were two other ladies there for the time slot I'd booked (bonus, for me!). However, the woman waxing me thought that I'd *only* booked the upper leg wax and was rather surprised when I listed off the number of waxes I needed (much to my concern, because I'm off to Vegas tomorrow).She left, came back, and I guess everything seemed to be fine because she told me to lay down. At the place I normally go for waxes, they give you something to cover up depending on what you're waxing so you're not fully exposed. Nope, not at this place. Don't expect them to make you feel comfortable at all, either. She immediately told me to "take off my panties" (which I was rather surprised about, because normally they ask what I'd prefer to wax first and I tend to leave brazilian for last for a multitude of reasons). But I was like whatever. I didn't want to press my luck since I'd managed to squeeze in all of these wax sessions into one upper leg slot.The main reason for these 2 stars is that she let me text on my phone and read while getting the wax done. The other place I go to tends to tell me to stop and they're chattier, which is fine, but sometimes I'm not in a chatty mood and I'd rather not be "forced" to chat. So off she goes with the brazilian. The actual procedure wasn't as painful, which I was rather surprised by because she was doing an extremely sloppy job and didn't wax against the hairline but was just going from left to right, if that makes sense. (TRIGGER WARNING AHEAD!) This resulted in really short stubbly hair in certain areas because she didn't wax it properly. She also missed a patch on the bikini line. AND (EVEN BIGGER TRIGGER WARNING) there's swelling like no tomorrow--which has never, EVER happened. Not even with my first brazilian. Imagine having to waddle all day. Yes, that's me today.I can't comment on my back, because I can't see it. My upper legs are the same deal with the brazilian. She waxed in every which way and there are random stubbly hairs left (in addition to a buttload of wax residue--some parts of my leg are just entirely green with wax). Eyebrows were hastily done because someone knocked on the door and she said "two minutes". Didn't ask me how I wanted them shaped and basically just "cleaned" them and didn't shape them at all. Didn't ask me if I was happy with it or anything like that. Just said that she was done and basically shooed me out of there. Not impressed and NEVER going back here. Not really sure what all the good reviews are all about--I guess I made a mistake with not getting Ranjeeta (though maybe I did--I wouldn't know, she never said a word other than to tell me to flip over or hold something).
