As only a Grooming Junkie would I care deeply about what things look like down there. Which leads me to a predicament I have: how can I have a lovely, coiffed bush when the WAX and I are not friends?!
Years ago I did laser. Waste of time and major mullah.
And waxing? Ugh, the pain, the ingrowns, the whole experience is anxiety provoking. Even on a full strength Klonopin, I'm still wrenching in fear. I'd rather get a Pap Smear.
So whre to go and what to do? Ok, fine, there's Pink Cheeks and Cindy, a tank of gas away in Van Nuys, fifty bucks, you're in you're out, after waiting at least an hour, and in two to three quick rips, your pretty much bush free. Fine. But not for me.
Why? Because there was always something missing there. THE CARE. Those little extra guys, the in-between growth – were those guys ever attended to? Uh no. They just sat there, like an army of five until your next appointment when they were tall and strong enough to head North with the rest of the troops.
So, I called my dear friend, let's call her Ally, who grew up here in L.A., who is in the know, who I know would have a great answer for me when I demanded WHO IS THE THE BEST GODDAMN PUSSY WAXER IN TOWN?!
Without a beat, she said, look no further. Your search is over. It ends NOW.
And, she is just up the block, on Doheny at the B2V Salon. And then she said the magic words. No, not that she's been going to her since she's 18 or that sometimes she goes to her house for a home cooked Persian meal. She said:
SHE HATES HAIR.
And I was sold. I tail-spinned toward Doheny. Had a chubbed out Kevvy Federline spotting at La Conversation on my way to my appointment with the famous SOUDI.
I had finally outgrown my Pink Cheeks whatever-it-was re-growth and ready for a smooth transition into hairless territory.
And Soudi is THE woman. And she too will be yours.
WHY? Not just because – and when I tell you this – as someone who has had five hip replacement surgeries and KNOWS PAIN – and doesn't like it – when I tell you that this was not only PAINLESS but actually – dare i say – RELAXING?!
I'm not going to get into her whole bio. Over 30 years of waxing hair off Persian ladies (let's just say I've heard the hair starts at the vag and drapes down to the knees), working under the tutelage of the finest waxers from London to Los Angeles. Etc, etc…This woman has an intimate relationship with hair! She knows ever single thing about how it grows and how to keep it from growing and how to coax it out of it's little bunker with NO PAIN!!!
Her wax is some special stuff that when I tell you I felt NOTHING, you have to believe me. IT was insane. In fact, I cannot wait to go back!!
Who in their lives ever says they are looking forward to a bikini wax?? Well folks – ME!! It was a heavenly experience. Oh and did I mention she is so lovely. She takes her time. She cares about your hair and your experience and she is one of the most lovely joyful people I have ever met.
But most importantly she is a true, experienced veteran. There is no hair she can't take down and without a fight. They just surrender to her, sheepishly.
OH, and ask her for a 30 minute intense little facial peel/scrub when your face is looking drabby from the build up of all that tanning spray… I added one on to my wax-travaganza the other day and my face was flawless and smoothe as a baby's tush afterwards…
GO. NOW. YOUR BUSH LOOKS LIKE CRAP.
