Wax on Wax off

Shell and I share every month a trip to the Salon for some mother daughter time and this time I decided to have the works.
Last summer I was out back with my husband and father in law cooking on the grill. I was standing in the sun, when my father in law said “Wow you have white fuzzy cheeks”. I ran straight into the bathroom to see if there was any validity to his comment. OMG, the horror! I remember my mother had white fuzzy cheeks the older she got and it seems I have been struck with the same disgusting genetic mutation.

So, I decided to have them Wax my fuzzy cheeks and my not so fuzzy Legs.
I ask will it hurt?
The Tech said oh no it make you kin so sof and smoof and you hair not grow bak so fas. We do you face den you lebs.
She started by putting baby power on my face and then warm wax over one whole side of my face. Then without any friggin warning, she ripped of what felt like the first layer of tissue. I hesitated for a moment to have her do the other side but not wanting to go out with one fuzzy cheek and the other red and inflamed. I allowed her to rip off the other side of tissue.

After such a painful experience I recanted on the Leg waxing and the Tech said “oh no hunni you face mor sinitive dan you leb, it won hurt” I must have shit for brains because I agreed to try it.
Holy mother Mary it hurt, I screamed and think I lost consciousness but I didn’t because I heard a roar of laughter from the torture techs. Probably because they knew, it would hurt and I would have to PAY for it.

I dropped a small fortune for our salon visit and went home in pain. The worst part is my loving husband didn’t even notice my red smoof kin. It was all for nothing I tell you, nothing.

at least your hair is white! i think that falls under the "acceptable" category.

there is no pain like it. none.

OMG, absolutely frickin' hilarious! LOVE your Asian accent!
If only I had some soft, white fuzzies on my face. But no, I'm half Italian, half Sasquach. Thanks for the genes Mom and Dad!

Justine :o )

ha i too have the fuzzies on my face but, they are very fair and not too noticeable unless the sun hits my face the wrong way. i'm too much of a wimp to do the waxing thing so i just use hubby's mustache trimmer and buzz them suckers off lol. since i'm not actually shaving them, they aren't all stubbly when they grow back in.

oh, i now i totally remember who you are since i saw your blog and went back and read your first post. like i said my memory sucks! i will follow you now, so i'll possibly remember that you are someone i am supposed to know. lol

I have a fuzzy face too!! and a neck straight down the middle that grows long hair...I kid you not!

I just shave it off-one swipe down the middle of my neck and my cheeks and I'm good to go!!

I do have my mustache waxed and my eyebrows as well...boy, it's painful to grow older! At least I don't have the ear hair like my husband!!

You should have called me to go. I could have taken pictures. Pictures are always good on your blog!!! Too funny!

Debbie said...

I'm not sure what is worse - your FIL saying that or the idea of them ripping that little down off your cheeks. I thought everyone had that. Well, that is what I choose to believe anyway!

Jenni said...

OUCH. LOL! I have not been brave enough to have anything waxed. And I think you have just permanently cured me of my curiosity!

Ginger said...

LOL...sorry, but the way you told the story is hilarious, including the accent. But I know it wasn't funny at the time for you. I agree with Jill, you should of taken her with you for pictures.
I have never had anything except my eyebrows waxed..too much of a chicken. But I remember my daughter, Wendy, when she got her first bikini wax...oh the pain. She was going on her honeymoon and could hardly walk after the waxing, much less the swelling.
I say leave the peach fuzz alone!!

I saw my Wendell the other night and she said, "Mom, you look great, what's different.."
I said, "I tweezed my brows and waxed my lip"

Removing facial hair really opens up your face!"

*ouch*

Brenda said...

Totally cracked me up (well, not the part about your pain, ofcourse)! But just think, since the hair grows back slower, you won't have to submit yourself to it for a while!

binks said...

Thanks for the heads up, I think I will pass on the Brazilian I was planning.
Aiy-yi-yi

Unknown said...

I was SO laughing out loud but then I thought about the pain you went through and I felt sorry for laughing...well...for a moment. So, how long does the smoof skin last?
