Waxing - myladyq (Eunice)

Image by Bill Longshaw

For the first time in many years, I'm hairless! Well in my hairier bits, aside from my head that is! I shaved it 1 year plus ago and so I thought it's time to get rid of the other kinds of hair this year.

I tried out a new salon, this time an at-home service. Meet myladyq. Eunice, the therapist, does only waxing and she has the best prices in town! She has a room set aside just for waxing so you don't have to worry about it being a home salon. She is also really personable and friendly so you won't feel awkward at all while you're getting waxed. So if it's your first time, rest assured that there won't be any discomfort save for the pain from waxing of course heh.

Speaking of which, I think it's the least painful experience I've had. Of course, I haven't tried out any other waxing salons aside from Strip so ymmv. She's really quick and will keep chatting with you so time passes really fast and before you know it, you're done!

If you're in Singapore and don't mind travelling to the West (Bukit Panjang), give her a ring! Contact info is in the website. The best part is the fact that she doesn't push any products at all. I'm sick of salons insisting that a peculiar product or set of products will be the only thing that can keep you from deteriorating so it's really refreshing when she said that the most you should do is a scrub twice a week. Any kind of scrub that isn't too abrasive!

Personally, I think honey + sugar scrubs are cheap and good so here's a recipe to round this off:

Ingredients
- Honey, preferably raw
- Brown sugar, you can go organic if you wish

Steps
- Mix about one part honey with 2 parts warm water
- Add the brown sugar
- Mix some more!
- Massage mixture into skin, gently!
- Leave for at most 30 minutes (if on face)
- With some warm water on palm, massage the mixture off
- Rinse!

If it's all tl;dr then all you have to do is mix sugar and honey and then use it as a scrub. HAH!
