I have a very no nonsense approach to getting a Brazilian Wax. When the client comes in the room, my usual rhetoric is “pants and undies off please.” There is no reason to feel awkward taking your undies off since I’ll be working on that area. If I can’t see it, I can’t wax  it. It’s simple as that.  

 I’ve been thinking about other expressions that I say a lot when I do Brazilians that I’ll miss saying when I retire. For example, when I ask the client to turn on their side so I can wax between the cheeks, I often say “Spread it like you mean it!” It may sounds like a peculiar thing to say but sometimes it’s hard to find the promise land and I need the client’s help.

 Ear hair driving you crazy? Just come get it waxed. It’s quick, painless and inexpensive. 

 I love what was written about my 3rd and final book in The  Happy Hoo-Ha Trilogy. This  book  was written by my little voice,  Raul.  There are also more hilarious  illustrations  and some really silly poetry. Read  the description below;  you may just want to read it!

After I shared yesterday’s post about my first book, The Happy Hoo-Ha, someone asked me what the difference was between the 1st and the 2nd book. Like the 1st book, I’ve recalled countless crazy stories that happen at the salon including a fairly disturbing chapter called WTF.  The story of the deodorant girl is legend.  What is different about The Happy Hen House (you’ll have to read it to see what the subtitle is😄) is that I hired an illustrator to draw some cartoon pics that comically depict some of the scenes that happened in the wax room. I also introduce my little voice, a gay Hispanic man named Raul who likes to chirp in when I try to remain politically correct. It was another really fun  book to write!

 

I can’t believe it has been almost 10 years since I published this book. The Happy Hoo-Ha was my first in a trilogy of crazy stories that have happened in the privacy of my wax rooms. As you can see, it’s super affordable and, believe me, the stories are just as funny today as they were a decade ago. I’d love for you to check out the book and give me some feedback. I’m still hoping to get the stories on Netflix some day!!!

 

 For nearly three decades I have greeted my clients with a “let’s get naked” greeting!  Although  they only get naked from the waist down,  it’s part of my casual, no nonsense approach to Brazilian Waxing. We aren’t hoity toity people who make the service weird or uncomfortable. It’s what we do and we want you to feel like it’s no big deal, because it isn’t a big deal. But when I think  about retiring  (yes, that terrifying word that makes me cry) I wonder if I will continue to say that to people because it’s part of my vocabulary. I can imagine walking into a store and saying “Hi, let’s get naked!”  in the most inappropriate setting. Yep,  I see an arrest in  my future…

VAJACIALS ARE  STILL A THING!
Since my vajacial posts keep getting flagged by Google, I thought I’d try another approach. In case you weren’t aware, both of our salons offer a service that makes your skin as smooth and as clear as a perfectly delectable peach. {OK, that might get me in trouble.}  It is called a vajacial (a.k.a. vagina facial). It’s a great way to get your skin ready for that bikini!

 

 Although most people know us as the Home of the 10 Minute Brazilian, that is not all we do. The salon was founded in 1956 as a hair salon by Mark’s mom Celia. It was called Style-O-Rama back then. And even though it’s fun making people bald, it’s also fun to make our clients feel more beautiful and more confident with the hair on their head. Our staff is producing some great work so you might have to think about having them play with the hair north of your nether regions. 

 The theory behind waxing is when you pull out a hair from the root, your new hair comes in finer and thinner. Often, some of the hairs don’t grow back. For many of my clients, the hair stops growing across the front of the bikini line but continues to grow in the undercarriage. I believe there is more blood and energy down low which encourages more hair growth in that part of the body. The other day a client, who  has very little hair across the front of her bikini line, told me that she had a goat’s beard down there. It was an accurate description.
