waxing horror stories

Yesterday, someone said they would love to hear some of my waxing horror stories. The most common thing I hear is use of the wrong type of wax on a sensitive area. A couple of years ago, I was in California for most of a month because of a relative's illness and death. During this time, I made an appointment at a local salon for a waxing. When I got there I was surprised to find out that they planned to use soft wax (with strips) and not hard wax for my underarm and brazilian wax. This can work sometimes if the technician is skilled, but in this case, my underarms were left raw and I couldn't wear deodorant for a week. I did stop the esthetician when the waxing didn't feel like it should have, but it was too late. The brazilian hurt more than it should have, but there was no permanent damage done there. The moral of the story is: always ask what type of wax your esthetician will be using and how much experience they have.

anyone out there have a waxing horror story you want to share?
