"Thank the Lord. I can't wait to run out there and tell the girls," said Linda Orsuto, owner of 800 West Salon and Spa in Cherry Hill. "They're going to be so happy."

The girls are gonna be happy?

The board cited public safety as a main issue, saying that two women injured by Brazilian waxes had come forward with complaints. One of them filed a lawsuit.

for farks sake!
you are doing it wrong

I remember the first time like it was yesterday. I don't even know how I ended up there in that booth. But, there I was - shivering, and exposed. Suddenly, Guadalupe walks in. She could use a little lip waxing herself. There were a few knuckle hairs that would double as a toothpick in an emergency as well.

She took a tub of nads and stuck it in the microwave. I saw her punch some buttons, but I didn't pay attention. Apparently she did not pay attention either as she set it to 6 minutes instead of 60 seconds.

Nads hits nuclear strength without either of us noticing. She dipped the stick in the lava-like goo then spread it over my peach. The pain was instant and excruciating - I saw white light. I was sure that it would be seared shut - maiming me for life. I must have passed out, but when I came to, I had a cute bald beave. And she had cleared the bristles from 'round back as well.

//Nads is also good in tea!

That's the most terrifying story I've ever heard. I think my dick is inside me. Also, I read that story a few times and I'm still not sure what it's about. They actually banned waxing? Is that legal?

They can't ban it...

Once I was too embarassed to go have someone else all up in my bajingo and thought, pffft how hard could it be? So I got my hands on a waxing kit...applied wax and strip to one side and wax and strip to the the other side.

Yanked one off.

First I went into shell shock. Then I cursed. Then I cried.

I sat with the other strip still in tact for another 20 mins pondering other methods of removing it. Spent another 20 trying to um, trim it off. Discovered I can't cut what I'm aiming for using right handed scissors in my left hand.

Cried some more. I finally just yanked.

Now I just leave it to the pros.

I don't know why anyone would want to get this done in the first place. Sensitive bits + hot wax + yanking hair = NO.

I wish the spa people who do these waxes would have an anonymous blog where they could post stories kind of like the Tard Blog. Can you imagine the horror they see every day? Women who don't wash, bushes that need a chain saw to get through, etc...

I'm sorry, but I laughed myself to tears at this. Be honest... Did you consider trying to leave it there, and just living your life with the strip attached?

It did cross my mind. A lot. I tried to rationalize that maybe it would get dusty [or something] and fall off like a piece of tape on a wall. I believe I was delirious at that point.

At least this is one mistake you will never make again. Nor will any of your children, or your children's children, or your children's children's children, because I'm sure they all felt it too.

Good god. If other people want to torture themselves with Brazilian waxes, I say go crazy. I tried waxing my legs once and I will never make that mistake again. I swore in several languages and didn't even get the whole strip off with the first yank.

No way in hell I'm letting anyone with hot wax go near my lady bits.

PoopStain: Orsuto said news of the ban made for a bumpy week in her busy Route 70 salon.

HA HA HA HA! Get it? "Bumpy"? Oh journalist, you slay me!


You missed this one? Salon owners, including Orsuto, felt that the ban would strip women of a popular, albeit painful, procedure and only contribute to unsafe conditions

Your problem is that you did it yourself. Facial waxing is one thing, it's easy to do at home, but really, just about every other type of waxing is best left to the professionals. A bikini wax really isn't terrible when done by someone with experience, though taking a few ibuprofen beforehand helps, as does wearing those fancy schmancy seamless and elastic-free undies that the lingerie companies are making now. Satin or silk are a good alternative, too. Trust me, you'll only make the mistake of wearing lace undies to a waxing once.

I used to do STD clinic in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman...I've seen it all, was going to swear off sex, but for every 1 that "doesn't wash, etc" there's about a million women that do, so fortunately, the odds didn't warrant it.

This entire issue is retarded. First of all, if there is ANYTHING in this universe that we can say is 100% ours, it's our farking bodies, and it should be the one thing the government can't say shiat about. The government shouldn't be able to tell us if we can or can not split our tongues. They shouldn't consider a ban on tattoos or genital waxing, and for the love of god and goddess, what the hell kind of good is it doing that snorting cocaine carries a stronger sentence than raping someone? If someone wants to take a power saw and slice their arm off, the government shouldn't respond by banning power saws to anyone but companies. The argument of "People have gotten infected" by Brazilian Waxing is just an excuse for "We will tell you what we want you to do with your bodies.", and if this passes, then what's going to stop a ban on tattoos, or body piercing (even ears), or any other activity that carries a slight risk of infection?

The sad fact is that this is never going to stop because no matter how stupid, how retarded, how big brother shiat like this really is, they will continue to try this because the people are too farking concerned with political parties than what the politicians are actually doing to say "No, I don't agree with this and I'm not voting for your sorry ass again." Or when it comes to election time, the voters tend to suffer from long term memory loss and forget shiat like this.

Well how do you think people get certified to cut hair, give shaves, etc?

I don't know if they still do this, but you have to shave a balloon to pass that certification.

take a deep breath.

The issue is that this board does not certify anyone that performs these services. Because the people doing this service are not certified, they could hurt customers by performing it incorrectly. Waxing a shin is different than waxing the bikini area. Any salon that is preforming these services is breaking the law because the law does not allow them do this at this time.

Also the board should be concerned that once businesses are able to perform this service without being certified, salons will balk at getting new employees certified to cut hair. This will lead to certified barbers hurting their customer and the citizens complaining to the state that something should be done.

I was never brave enough to do it all my myself. The first time I went I went for the underarms and bikini. I was actually shocked that it wasn't excruciating. I mean, it wasn't exactly pleasant but it wasn't the worst thing I'd ever experienced either.

I'm still not convinced there's a need for the full Brazillian. I'm concerned that since I live in Alaska I'd get a case of cold hoo-ha. I do not want cold hoo-ha.

Alaska does have the requirement that only certified and licensed estheticians are allowed to wax anything below the neck. You can't just walk into a salon and get your hoo-ha waxed here. That's a good thing.
