It all get's better with time..

Ok so new year, new me.. right? Well maybe still me just getting better with time :o)  Life has so many amazing lessons to teach us if we just stay true to ourselves and listen to our inner voice. I would like this year to be one that I get many things accomplished that I have been putting off for too long, become a better mother, wife, sister, friend. And learn to balance the CRAZE of running a business and family (if anyone has tips on that I'm open for suggestions..lol)  All I know is that forward is the only direction, don't dwell on the past, live in the present.

Got a call from a first time waxer this morning...

I just received a call from a first time client wanting to schedule an appointment for a brazilian wax. My first question to her (or anyone waxing for the first time) was, "is your hair completely grown out and ready to be waxed?" She informed me that she had shaved a week ago but her hair "grows really fast"...
I hear this all the time.. what is "hairy" to you may not always be the same to the professional. The thing about shaving is that the hair pattern begins to grow at different times. This ruins the growth cycle of the hair. So if you grow the hair out for a week after shaving there will only be a small amount of hair that has actually grown out. There is a whole cycle waiting to sprout. The best way to ensure a successful wax is to allow the hair to grow as long as possible 3-4 weeks before a first wax.
I WILL see clients with 2-3 weeks growth but I let them know that we will be waxing the hair we can see.. and they might experience some growth sooner than later.
Hope this helps :o)
