Well...that was awkward...

So there I am, getting my brows waxed and making polite chit chat when the waxing lady stops and gets a mirror to show me my face...

"do you want me to wax that hair off there (pointing to my top lip)- the bit like a mustache?"

Mortified I said yes.

How long have I been wandering round like David Seaman for?!

    I had a similar thing happen to me a few months ago. I popped into a new waxing place and the Vietnamese woman threaded my eyebrows and then said "You want me do rest of face?". I just mumbled no thanks and quickly left. Did she actually want to do my whole face?!

    Did she actually say those words ?

    Rudeness aside, how was it? I always get bikini and brown done but am adding upper lip for my wedding waxing.

    The shame! Yes she did!!

    It hurt but my top lip is as smooth as a babys bum- I normally use Immac (though not for a while clearly) and I find the result much the same.

    I've always used immac but the last couple of times I have come out in a rash with it. Hoping to try IPL at some point. The hairs are light enough that it's not an issue, but foundation clings to hair so don't want a tash in my close up wedding photos!

    Ive had it waxed once and threaded once and both times come out in a spotty rash, so I would recommend giving it a trial now rather than too close to your wedding.....mine aren't at all bad either and didn't look like I had a tash in my photos :-)

    It's their new sales technique! My hairdresser was telling me just the other day about one of her clients who now gets HER WHOLE FACE threaded after the lady doing the threading made her feel like a big hairy yeti! Hairdresser said she came to get her hair done straight after 'getting her face done' and was so red that hairdresser thought she'd had a chemical peel!!

    Hahahah Mini. I have now altered my mental image of you again (wish there was a smiley face icon with a 'tache!)

    SNORT! I love this icon.

    PS I wax my own "tache". Wouldn't let anyone else near it.
