Thoughts, stories, and insights from M.E. Nesser
I had an inquisitive first grader in the room while I waxed her mommy’s legs. She was fascinated by the whole process. She told me that waxing looked like “so much fun!” and that I had the “best job ever!” She was so excited by what I was doing that I was having a difficult time keeping her off the bed. She kept asking me if she could try it. She was too cute and too curious to say no to so I let her wax a couple hairs off her mommy’s legs. This was my youngest protege to date!
It just occurred to me that there are countless men and women in our fair city of Rochester, NY who don’t have any grass in their Easter Baskets because of the hard work performed by the team at the Mark and M.E. Salon the past few weeks. We hope everyone is thoroughly enjoying this very special holiday!
Continuing with the Winnie The Pooh theme…I had a husband and wife come into the room for Brazilians. It was the husband’s first time. He was very cooperative and I was able to perform the service in an efficient and thorough manner. The three of us chatted and laughed the entire time I was waxing him. When he got off the table, his demeanor changed. He was visibly relieved that the wax was over. When I was looking through pics this morning and trying to decide what to blog, I came across this and it reminded me of this client. This is the look that he had on his face when I explained how to clean up after his Brazilian. He stood there looking dazed and confused. When I asked him if he was okay, he said, “I have to admit that I feel a little violated.” Then he started to laugh and got dressed. I imagine this type of service makes many people feel that way.
The saga of the girl who pulled my skirt down and spelled a swear word continues…When I lifted her leg that was closest to me, I was worried that she’d kick me in the face. It has happened countless times and I like to be prepared to duck as necessary. After I removed the strip from her body, she brought her leg down, sat up abruptly, and bounced back so she was sitting on the pillow. It was a move that Tigger from Winnie The Pooh would be proud of. That’s actually what it reminded me of. I was relieved that our beds are durable enough to hold someone sitting at the very end. I had a vision of it toppling over. There was an awkward moment when she was sitting on the pillow giving me the look like there was no way in hell I was going to wax her other side. She was wrong; I finished her Brazilian in spite of her theatrics. When she got off the table, she told me she was going to refer me to all her friends. Another successful wax at Mark and M.E.
The saga of the girl who pulled down my skirt during her Brazilian continues…As you can imagine, I hear a lot of profanity during my work day. Various expletives are known to come out of my mouth as well. This girl responded in a way that no one has ever done during a wax before; she spelled her swear word instead of saying it. Without warning she said, “F…U…C…K…That Hurted!”
So many firsts with a new client at Mark and M.E. yesterday that I’m not even sure where to begin…As many of you know, women like to hang on to something while they get their Brazilians. Since there are no handles on the bed, they often hang on to me. This girl grabbed my arm, waist, leg and even my backside before she got a hold of my skirt and pulled it down. It was awkward trying to rip OFF the strip while I pulled UP my skirt.
One of my clients was driving home at one in the morning from work. She lives in the country. She swerved to avoid a deer and rolled her car four times. She had to amputate her own finger to get herself out of the car. She walked three hundred yards to the nearest house to get help. The family called 911. She broke her neck, had a mangled arm and missing fingers. Now she has to wear a halo to protect her broken neck. Last week she came in for a Brazilian. Her sister had to help her hold her legs up during the service. She yelled and swore and basically hated every minute of the wax. That is when her sister told her “You walked through a muddy football field with a broken neck and can’t handle a little bikini wax!” It was hard not to laugh at the irony of it all.
Another shout out to the Rochester Woman Online magazine for publishing my article entitled “Women On Top.” I love writing for you!
I think it’s obvious that I’m a HUGE fan of waxing since my license plate says Wax It All!! Thank you to Rochester Women Online Magazine for this article about M.E.
