Lots of products on display...
I went to the Strip Buddy @ Wheelock. The interior was comfy with seats for customers to rest while waiting, their staffs were friendly and approachable. And, they do waxing for both ladies and gentlemen! :p
Knowing that it's my virgin experience, the staff gave me a consultation and prep talk on Strip's Brazilian Waxing. Strip practises HSQ (Hygiene, Speed and Quality).
Every customer is provided with a Hygiene Pack to ensure 100% hygiene, no reuse of any items (not even the spatula/sticks)! Speed is definitely, the faster it is, the lesser you feel the pain! The Waxpert ensures the whole process is fast, clean and accurate. Needless to say, they ensure the quality of the Super Wax at all times.
Seeing how nervous I was, the lady gave me a few drops of Bach Flower Essence and a squeezy toy ($10) to calm me down!
Can you spot the missing toy on the 1st row?
See the small "window" on the wall?
If you are there with your friend, you may even opt to have the "window" open to "accompany" each other during your waxing session. Of course, you get to see only your friend's face and nothing else! *giggles*
I was feeling so embarrassed initially having to "expose" my lower body to the Waxpert. But she's really professional and quick at easing it away!
See the kawaii squeezy zebra ($10) and hygiene wipes...
Was scheduled for Strawberry Brazilian Wax, but the Waxpert suggested to do a Chocolate BW due to the hair quality. According to her, if I had went ahead with the Strawberry BW, it might feel a little more painful as compared.. I'm so glad I followed her advise! *phew*
The whole process was very quick and I was out of Strip Buddy in 30minutes!
The waxing process is very simple and fast. Here's the steps (after cleaning the area to be waxed)...
- Dips new spatula into Super Wax
- Spreads quickly over the area
- Press palm down while the wax dries
- Peel off wax in swift motion
- Press palm down to soothe the area
Throughout the process, my Waxpert was wearing gloves to ensure hygiene and kept me occupied by talking to me. She repeated the steps until hairs were removed before moving on to another part (from from to back). My first peel was very bearable. According to her, removal of hair from the labia are usually the most painful spot and the butt crack is the least painful. I totally agree! Luckily, the pain was quickly soothed away after she pressed her palm on the "freshly waxed" spot (at least I didn't scream)... ;p
When everything was waxed, she applied the Peace ampoule to further soothe & reduce speed of hair growth and I'm done (I have sensitive skin, and this is really useful!). =D
Received 2 information cards/brochures that advises me on the "Dos" and "Don'ts" as well as information on STRIP SG...
Kindly sponsored by Strip SG, I was also given a package which consists of many yummies and most importantly, the Strawberry Brazilian Virgin Kit ($25).
Strawberry Virgin Brazilian Kit ($25)
The kit consists of 4 different cream/scrub/lotion and the lady was explaining to me each of their uses. Don't worry even if you have short-term memory like me, instructions are printed on the box as well!
My overall experience at Strip Buddy was really great. Even after a week, it still feels pretty clean and I guess you probably feel it the most when bathing or your VIP comes visiting!
I'm thinking I might be a convert! *sheepish smile*
