Burnt to a Crisp

I’ve been looking pretty Sasquatch-y lately. I’ve told you before what a big hairy bastard I am (and pretty damned feminine), but lately all I could see was a big honking moustache staring me in the face, and a cute little beard that seemed to match perfectly.

Luckily for me, my honey doesn’t seem to mind that he’s bedding down with Groucho Marx.

Anyway, I decided that, instead of tackling this myself, the way I normally do, I would go get another professional wax job. And while I’ve been getting rid of that moustache myself for quite a while now, I’ve never waxed that “chin-al” area.

So I went to the woman who’d first waxed my upper hairiosity and asked her for a wax of my upper lip and chin.

burnt chinThis is what she did to me. She burned my chin.

The professional waxer, burnt half my fucking chin off. There are dark marks on my chin where a scab has already formed.

So tell me, is that usual? I was in such pain, and kept looking at that yesterday, that I thought she’d ripped off some of my skin in order for scabs to form.

Then I realized how hot that wax felt, and how that little wooden stick she was using felt, and realized that it was a burn. I was slathering myself with vitamin E last night.

I’m now wondering how the “professional” part fits into this. I’ve certainly never burned my face off when I was waxing myself.

I’ll have a different look for work tomorrow.

Well, I’ve never had hot waxing done, but who’d do it if burning like that was the norm??? I think they must have screwed up. I know I’d be marching my chin right back in there and get my money back and they’d be damned lucky that’s all I asked for!

Ooooh thats nasty, with a capital N.

You will have to do something about that woman, send in the fire brigade to put out the fire maybe.

Of course they were closed on Sunday when I tried dragging my sorry chin back there to show them and say WTF IS THIS??!!??
