Hello! I believe there are a lot of females out there who are very interested in waxing but are skeptical. Firstly due to the pain and secondly, the nudity involved. This post is about my experiences to the saalon/spa that i have been to, and my humble opinion of waxing. AND ALSO, TO JACK UP MORE VIEWS FOR MY BLOGSHOP. HAHAHAHAA!
1st: The pain. Truthfully, anyone who tells you that it is not painful is (partially) lying to you. During your first trip, it will DEFINITELY be hell. Especially if you have an intimate relationship with your shavers. HAHA. Depending on individual, the "lesseing" process starts during 2nd-4th trip. For me, During my 3rd trip the pain was significantly lesser, as the amount of hair got lesser as well.
2nd: Nudity. Honestly i do not know why its ok for many females to strip the top for massages but becomes shy when it comes to the bottom. Bear in mind that the therapists have seen MANY and will forget all about yours the second you walk out. If you think the amount you have is too much to be seen, grab and scissors and trim them shorter and all shall be fine. Also, even if the therapist do make a scathing remark like, "Wah you have alot hor?", just know that they are actually cursing themselves internally for the harder job that is to come.
Experiences: I will post only the really good ones. Will do the not-so-good ones if responses is good. HAHA.
Spa Haven / 45 & 46 Amoy Street, Singapore 069871
i went there a REALLY long time ago, when i was 18 (I am an old woman now). paid full price cos there was no such thing as DealSG back then. muahaha. i think i paid around $45? someone recommended me there and it was good. therapist was very quick but now i find it odd that they didnt let me shower first even though there was one. and i should mention that the therapists are older compared to all others that i had visited. probably means they are more experienced LOL.
Since it was my 1st time there, i was actually really scared. probably because i was TOO scared, the process turned out not as painful as i thought. like 2x more than an ant's bite.
Brazilian Expertise / 181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central #08-06 Singapore 238826
it was a very very small place but pretty cosy. was late but the therapist patiently waited for us, thank God. have encountered places who don’t allow that. i paid like $19 due to a Gmarket promotion. damn worth it, they put some hair growth slowing lotion which is pretty effective! i forgot to ask whats the brand but i suspect its some in-house product.
No shower as well but the therapist did clean by using anti-septic. this was the first time i went after the above, which is 2 years later. after months of shaving, it was an excruciating experience. The therapist was nice and tried to calm me down, she counted 1,2,3 and piak. that was the MOST painful trauma i ever had. LOL. so ladies, quit that shaver cold turkey.
Meditrina Spa / 61 Tras Street Singapore 079000
by far the best place i have to been. the 1st one that allows me to bathe. bought this deal from outletSG for $18. but one different thing is that the “treatment room” is rather big and can accomodate a few in a go. just a draw a curtain in between the beds. all other places i have been to are done in a private small individual room. because its big i was sweating bullets.
i think they uses strips instead of the hard wax. it was not so warm but i think it doesnt stick as well as the hard wax. spend 45 mins in there cos the therapist had to pluck out the ingrowth. OUCH. in fact the plucking was more painful than the waxing. but the therapist was very good and very thorough so no complaints. and she put the growth slowing lotion which was a bonus because it was not stated in the deal. will definitely go back again if there is promo LOL. but bear in mind the place is quite hard to find.
Fabulous Tan / 8 Grange Road Cineleisure Orchard #05-03
2nd place that offers showering! bonus point! whole process was very speedy cos the therapist did not talk much. some therapist would talk to you to distract you from the pain, but for me its ok since its not that painful anymore. the wax was super warm thou, even after she adjusted the temp it was still freaking hot. but it did mask the pain. Heat or Pain, you choose. LOL. im not very sure if the hotter it is, the better it sticks. althou my session was speedy, it could be due to the fact that the amount of hair was much lesser. but it was a thorough job which is the main point.
staffs are friendly cos the appointment was changed twice due to Aunty M’s visit and they didnt kick up a fuss. bought this deal at $19 but couldnt remember which deal site lol.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment! Im not an expert but i can share my experience. =D
