How much do you pay for a wax?

Talking eyebrows and lips here, I hate doing it myself, but the place down the road is a tenner for two waxes. So how much do you pay?

    Eyebrows near me vary from £4.50 (but I think they may have put their prices up) to about £7.

    I don't get the magum done, LOL. (remember Magum PI - Tom Selleck) well the place that was £4.50, thats what she calls them. To the clients! My sister told me, LOL.

    I'm still trying to gather courage for the bikini wax.

    It was £5 a year or two back round here for a "magnum". Same as you, I'm trying to pluck up courage for a bikini wax (where no-one will know me!! :o )

  • Lol, it can't hurt that much...I've had worse pain, I'm sure

  • I've had me pits done a few times, but it was gross having to wait for the hair to grow and as I have a strongly-rooted growth (just doesn't want to be parted from me :rolleyes: ) I quickly gave that one up after 4 or 5 goes. It was bearable but it hurt! I find magnum the worst.
    :wave:
  • I pay about £6.50 for the eyebrows and for the lips I actually use veet's own waxing strips for the face, it doesn't hurt actually and a packet lasts for ages.
