I love holidays! I already have planned Florida in April for two weeks and Ibiza in July for a week. I'm also considering a transatlantic cruise to New York for our anniversary in October.
Thanks DG. Kind of got it but can't make it bigger. This is old one but similar-ish. Will try create a new one when he's home from work.
Uodate: Found some nights, including one othat's on this Friday in Manchester. PM on it's way to you.
Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music. Not Xmas themed, but always on at this time of year.
Jo and Red, thanks for organising a great night. Nice to catch up with people and meet some new ones too.
You can get them done for as little as £15 depending on the wax that is used and the way it is done.
Hollywood always costs more as it takes longer and does the more delicate areas, lips and underneath as well as everything from on top. It's a good idea to decide what you want so you can tell the therapist. Sometimes you have to specify that you want the lips and underneath doing.
The most common way of doing it is the same as any other waxing, with the warm wax applied to the skin and then whipped off. It hurts, but not for long, it's a quick owww and then it subsides. This way is also quick.
Some salons use a hot wax technique, which costs more and takes twice as long. The hot wax is applied to the skin and left to set, in theory pulling at the hair as it does so to loosen it. It is then picked at the edges to get a hold and then pulled off directly, no paper involved. This technique, in theory, hurts less, but to be honest it just prolongs the whole thing as it takes so much longer and the picking it and waiting for it to be pulled off is far worse than it just being whipped off.
The other way is similar to the first, but the wax is ready done in a roll on appplicator bottle and kept hot in unit so it ready to use. It is applied to the skin directly from the bottle, without the spatula etc, and then taken off in the usual way with the strips.
I have had all of them done and don't think any are worse than the other. I would go for the quicker the better. If you have sensitive skin I would have it done at least a couple of days before you want to play as your skin will be tender and it does tend to leave you looking like a plucked chicken until it settles down. Don't get hot water on it or use anything the first day, but the next day you can, although beware over perfumed shower products! Aloe vera works really well. Having it done regularly does make the hair grow back sparser, so it gets easier over time. If you're worried about the pain, you could always take paracetemol/ibuprofen beforehand.
Just confirming that we'll be there. x
You can always stay with us, You don't know us well but Earthy does. We'll be driving from Manchester.
