Your’s truly will be speaking at this event! I will not be talking about waxing, however. Do you think I’ll have anything to say?

I woke up this morning and couldn’t believe how exhausted my arms were from our busy work week. It is one of the many occupational hazards of waxing Brazilians for a living. Flatulence in the face is another. But, for some odd reason, that doesn’t bother me anymore.

I did a record number of brides this week. It makes me feel so good to be a part of such a special time in a woman’s life. Cheers to all of the brides sporting their Honeymoon Brazilians this weekend!

A very slender woman tries on her wedding dress, and she can see her panty lines. Not only can she see them, it makes her extremely flat tummy look like there is a little bulge. The only answer: go commando. But how can you go commando when you have dark hair in that area? You can’t. That is why she now has a beautifully bald bikini area for her special day.

I’m overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of some of my clients. I received a copy of my latest article called Manscaping 101 in the mail from a client who has shown me tremendous support. She wrote this note on it, and it really made my day. Such gestures of kindness mean more that I can say. Now I have to find my own copy of Rochester Woman, because I haven’t been able to find it!

We are playing a different musical genre today at Mark & M.E. Sometimes it’s funny what songs play while I am giving someone a Brazilian. A woman with a decent amount of hair was on my table when Aerosmith sang “he got hair down to his knee.” Fortunately, her hair wasn’t that long. The fact that the song is called “Come Together” made the whole service perfect.

Some ladies are so much more demonstrative than others when they get waxed. As I was waxing one woman today, she took off her blue tooth. She was afraid she might accidentally call someone and they would overhear her getting waxed. When she got off the table, she noticed that her blue tooth was missing. After looking through her bra countless times and searching through the garbage, she was freaking out because she couldn’t find it. Fortunately, I found it under my wax table. It must have gone flying through the air as she was freaking out about getting a Brazilian. It was hiding from me just like she tried to do.

Please remember that your skin gets dehydrated very easily during the summer. Your wax will be more painful and remain red for a lot longer if you aren’t hydrated properly. Please drink a few glasses of water prior to any waxing service at Mark & M.E.. Your body will thank me!

The other day, a client told Mark & my staff that she has become so ill, she is physically unable to care for her dog anymore and had to get rid of it. As you all know, we love our animals; they are a huge part of our family. So are our clients. I wasn’t at the salon when this exchange happened. She sent me a private message telling me the story and reiterating how compassionate everyone was. She told me she didn’t feel like a client; she felt like family. It made me so happy, even though I feel so sad for her loss.
 I know that I post a lot of crazy stuff that may be on the racy side for some of you, but it is all done in fun. I have a bizarre profession & I like to share my stories with you. But why I do the work that I do and why Mark & I run the salon the way we do is because of messages like this. The rapport we have established with our clientele is priceless. Sharing the good and the bad with all of you is what has made our professional lives so blessed. Thank you to the woman who shared her feelings with me. It meant the world to me.
