stressrelease 524 Report post Posted July 5, 2021 The best ones I have gone to are strictly sugaring, no massage...and very legit businesses, so if going there, please be respectful. But as mentioned, I have gone to Silk-e-fyne, NUDE and BARE.....been going more to Silk lately, but just a note, she is very talkative. All three do a great job.

I’ve been to Silk.e.fyne, but stopped going because she talks too much asks too many personal questions. Other than that, service is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoodLick 34 Report post Posted July 6, 2021 They shut down during the last provincial health order, but they're up and running again. Advertising every day now with at least three MA's. Usually, you'll see them advertise the sugaring on Kijiji. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, if someone isn't qualified to do it, you risk alot of health risk possibilities, so make sure the person is registered/certified. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitten 1281 Report post Posted July 21, 2021 What the salons have taught you is likely what you need to know for good service. An understanding of the epidermis and follicle growth helps. As long as you exfoliate, clean properly and understand that hair should be ripped out with its growth and not against it, you should be okay. Having a paper or certificate could be handy for tax/insurance purposes but it's not exactly necessary. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess really just... know your hair, know your skin. Exfoliate before and after. Dont use chemicals, scents or anything that could irritate after. For any kind of genital waxing, avoid sexytime/saliva/lube, ect... for atleast 24 hours. Coconut oil is your best friend post. For me anyway. Witch Hazel always breaks me out. ^ in terms of which direction the hair should be removed in... depends on the method and wax used. I've never not ripped it out against the growth and haven't ever been taught or told otherwise (even by licensed folks) but im sure everyone has their own way and that's cool. Whatever works for YOUR body is best for you. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
