Not today, but yesterday I was extremely pissed with a salon I went to. Actually, two of them.

The first, I went in and asked if they did underarm waxing. They said yes. I asked how long and they said 5 minutes. They called me over and I started to go down the hall and they said "No" and gestured to a chair across from the pedicure chairs. With raised eyebrows, I asked if they expected me to take my shirt off right there, in public, and they said "Oh, no!".

Apparently, my very direct "Do you do underarm waxes?" was not clear enough. I did get them to give me a referral for another salon that was close by.

So, I went there and they said it would be a couple of minutes. The back room was extremely tiny and there was a clear window in it from the main room that they had placed a small sign in, to keep it "private". The girl was not prepared for this and had to move equipment into the room and then, when she started to actually do the waxing, it was evident that she was not very experienced. She tweezed as much as she waxed off.

When done, I went out to the front area to pay and she had the nerve to tell me it was $25. Twenty-flippin-five dollars for a stupid underarm wax! I used to pay that for my legs!!! Grrrr...

Though I wish I'd asked before I had it done, it was a necessity. I'm considering this a learning experience. I'm just going to have to go farther than I would prefer to get a decent, respective waxing.
