I went into the spa for a waxing appointment recently. Admittedly, I arrived almost ten minutes after my scheduled time, however I was then made to wait more than fifteen minutes until I was actually taken in for the waxing. During my wait the front desk attendant was lovely, offering me a cool drink and making casual conversation. Nevertheless, I think starting an appointment 25 minutes past the scheduled time is pushing it! Once I got into the room, the esthetician was really friendly and nice. However, it quickly became obvious that she was not the person who normally does waxing or was new, because she took over 20 minutes just to finish one side of my bikini wax! I mentioned a few times that I had limited time (she seemed unaware of the fact that my appointment started over 20 minutes later than it was supposed to). She eventually started to hurry up and seemed apologetic, however she still took way too long to finish the waxing. I'm all about a relaxing experience, but the pace of a regular (not even brazilian) bikini wax needs to be much faster than the 45 minutes it took to finish. Unfortunately, I left feeling rushed and anxious because I had somewhere else to be!
