So I had another appointment this evening. Today’s targets are: the upper lip, center-bottom lip, jaw line, clean-up on the chin and a little on the neck. I haven’t shaved in almost two weeks.
I went in again without the aid of any pain killers or numbing agents, big mistake. I said the last appointment hurt, this one beats it in the pain department hands down.
For starters, the clean-up didn’t involve any waxing so she tweezed every hair along the jaw line, near the ears and the chin. That hurt. Second, the bottom-center lip was rather painful as was anything along the lip line and corners of my mouth. The center area got waxed, ouch.
Really, all the former was about the same pain level as last week (maybe a smudge more in some areas). Next was the upper lip. Fuck that hurt so much, really. Each zap really feels like a prick followed by a sting. I started to tear up. The most painful areas were dead center upper lip, right under the nostrils and along the lip line.
As I stressed through the electro part, then came the upper lip waxing. OMG it wasn’t pleasant but still I was able to muster enough strength to keep it together. The part that really, really got to me was the cleanup tweezing on the upper lip. It took all my strength to not actually just break and cry. Every tweeze was excruciating.
I swear, if someone were to be watching they would suspect I was either having convulsions or being tortured as I was a little vocal during this timeframe of the evening. Next appointment will not be until sometime in January as I’m going back to my parents house for Christmas and I wanna go out in public lol. For next time, I’m going to invest in either a trip to my dentist for a novacaine injection or a prescription topical lidocaine gel.
My only saving grace is that I look forward to a day that I will no longer have to shave my face. I have been taking before and after photos to utilize on my website redesign coming spring 2010.
My name is Erin. I was not always named Erin and I was not always a girl. One could argue that I am not a girl, perhaps a boy or both; maybe neither.
Hi! Long time no see!
I have electro on Thursday. The war against hair rumbles on, although the face is very nearly clear (5 minutes every 5 weeks), after 6 years…
Wow, 6 yrs… you must be going after every itty little bit of fuzz that’s left! I’m so over having to take a razor blade to my face. I should of started this years ago after the laser treatments.
see? all those tough-guy biker dudes that have tattoos and wear t-shirts that say “you bet it hurt!” need to get their delicates waxed!! they ain’t got NOTHIN’ on us.
Ya, there was a damn good reason why I only have had any sort of waxing job done once years ago… before all this started!
