My appointment was on July 10th, today is July 25th, 2 weeks after. Wanted to se how my armors would heal.
I made my rsvp online for hard wax at 6pm. I get there at 5:58 and they made me wait until 6:30. When we go into the room, she starts putting the wax on me and it feels light; I asked her and told her that I booked hard wax; she says she is putting soft wax on me because it is better for armpits; I immediately knew things were off because it doesn't matter what is "better for armpits".. I BOOKED HARD WAX, I've always hard wax my armpits and never had 1 single issue. Okay, so the service continues and it is very painful and wax tech is very argumentative on the fact that hard wax is for areas below the waist and soft wax is above the waist. She also mentioned that it was very painful because I didn't trim my hair before going to the appointment, my hair was the size of a rice, if you know you know. Also, she isn't walking to the other side of the bed to apply the wax or remove it from my right armpit, instead she has me turning/tussling on the bed; like what kind of service is that? So it kept getting more painful on my right arm and I asked her to stop, and she started asking me to let her finish; I explained to her that I could not continue tolerating the pain and as a person with dark complexion, I'd like us to stop in order to avoid POST-INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION; she continues asking me to trust her, and I ask her to please remove the excess wax out of my armpits whether that's with alcohol or oil or whatever oil liquid solution she uses, and that I can go home with the hair on my armpits because literally it was not coming out and I wasn't going to continue going through that!! She continues begging me to let her finish and I am getting uncomfortable because I don't know who I'm dealing with anymore, like I don't know this person and if I'm asking you to stop a service, you should be able to do so in order to make me feel comfortable as the customer. So she proceeds to take paper scissors out of the drawer, what a scary moment! And she's like I'm just going to cut the hair, at that point, I wasn't even mentally processing anything and I let her cut the hair of my armpits, but I thought after how unsanitary that is, like they weren't hair scissors and they weren't sanitized. We finally finished the procedure and she's putting all sorts of oils and aloe vera because my skin was very irritated.
Like I have never gotten these stupid arguments. Instead, whenever I go to any wax specialist, they educate me with information that makes logical sense.
When I stood up and look at my armpits, they had red bruises. Look at the photos from July 10h; right after my appointment; I took the photos before I even left the spot. Then I took photos later at night and then I took photos a few days after. The photos that say today on the header are the photos that I took TODAY and as you can see, there is a lot of like hyperpigmentation all around my arm in areas that don't even grow hair because if you look at the photos on the day that I got Waxed, I have bruises on areas that I don't even grow hair. Insane. If you also look at the photos on the day that I got wax, you can see how clear my armpits are. The entire armpit was irritated, so the bruises are just the areas where the irritation was just too much. Therefore, the most recent photos, the entire armpit is dark, TODAY - again, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
All i have been doing is putting centella to help with inflammation. But is very sad and an even worst insecurity. THANK YOU! read more
