To get to the nail salon that does the waxing, I had to pass the booth that does the threading. Now keep in mind that I have never been threaded, but after doing research, it appears to be the same as tweezing... just a little faster. Just from my observation, the young lady getting threaded had to hold her own skin taut. Ummm, okay... I'm not interested in doing work when I'm spending my money for someone else to do the work. Just my opinion.
So, I get to the nail salon and I am told to wait my turn in a chair in the back. The chair was actually facing the table where another young lady happened to be getting waxed. Keep in mind that I am a licensed Cosmetologist who went to school for this same exact thing... As I wait my turn, I noticed that the technician is using the same stick over and over again. WHA DA WHAT?! Double dipping is not sanitary and definitely not acceptable. Of course I had to let her know when it was my turn to get in the chair that I noticed that she double dips. Let's just say she didn't care to hear what I was saying. She agreed to use different sticks while waxing me, which defeats the purpose if the wax is contaminated. Right?! The saying "When you know better, you do better" goes great in this sentence. Let's just say no more eyebrow waxing for me, unless I'm performing it on myself. People fail to realize how sensitive the eye area is. That is just a chance I don't think I want to take. I'm sure you're wondering what I ended up doing... You guessed it!!! Tweezing. I've actually became really good at it. Some of my clients are convinced and have converted to tweezing as well.
