How much pain are we willing to endure in the name of beauty?
Waxing has always been an ordeal. But like what they say: no pain, no gain. This form of momentary, self-inflicted torture is just a small price to pay—in the name of soft, smooth, and most importantly, hairless skin.
For waxing newbies, here’s a little 101. There are actually two techniques: the hot wax, which is the most common, and the cold wax, which is also known as body sugaring.
Lay Bare Waxing Salon makes use of homemade, sugar-based, all-natural cold wax jelly. They also use the patch waxing technique (also known as the hand method), instead of the strip waxing method of when using hot wax. Lay Bare’s style of waxing actually makes the procedure relatively painless.
I’ve always been a hot waxer, just like most women, so the idea of a cold wax was just so intriguing that I just had to try it myself.
