I’m not entirely sure how they do it (I was too scared to watch the process), but it has something to do with applying pressure and some sort of product right after a strip is ripped off that diminishes the pain. The entire process went so quickly that I couldn’t believe when we were done! I’m not going to lie, getting waxed is not nearly as enjoyable as getting a massage, but LunchBox made it as painless as possible. I was too nervous and anxious to come up with any questions (or even intelligent responses), so thankfully she was really good at carrying on the conversation and working quickly at the same time. She would check in periodically to make sure the temperature of the wax was still good, but other than that, the rest of the time she held the conversation to keep me preoccupied I think. She had me lay on my back and guided my legs into the different positions needed to apply the wax. When she came back in and started to get to work is when I was really impressed. She also let me know that I could use a “refresher wipe” (sorry if this is too much info) if I wanted, and that she would give me a few minutes of privacy to get ready. If I preferred, I could change into the disposable underwear that they provided (which were held on the counter in an adorable glass container). She let me know that I could keep my own undergarments on if that would make me feel more comfortable, but to be aware that wax may get on them. She was extremely sweet answering my questions and addressing my concerns I never felt rushed, even though I knew my appointment was only for a total of 15 minutes. I also let her know I was super nervous as I don’t have a very high tolerance for pain. She asked if I had any questions since it was my first time, I of course had a million. I was given a few minutes to sit and complete some paperwork, and then was taken back to the room where the terrifyingly painful event would happen. Maybe they just do it to make sure they have the correct paperwork, but whatever the reason, it makes me feel appreciated. I’m not sure why, but I always appreciate when a company recognizes when it is a customer’s first time it makes me feel like the business cares and knows about their clients. When I told her my name, she mentioned that she noticed this was my first time at LunchBox. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a very friendly lady. If you have been to our condo you can understand why I love this. The space consisted of lots of crisp whites, straight lines, muted silvers and a little pop of pink here and there, you know, for femininity I suppose. Actually, the entire space had a clean feeling, and not the “hospital clean” that evokes memories of sterile smelling tools, but more of minimalist clean. Their reception/lobby area is very chic and clean. Well, I got busy and never did call, so I just showed up a few minutes early hoping for the best. LunchBox’s website makes it super easy to book an appointment-so easy in fact that before I knew it, I had already booked a bikini session (starting small, definitely still terrified of a Brazilian) before even talking to anybody that worked there or knowing who I had made the appointment with! My original plan was to schedule the appointment, then give the salon a call to talk about what to expect, how I should prepare, etc. I can walk to their downtown location, and being the anti-driving person that I am, this was the real reason I chose LunchBox. I have heard fantastic things about them (I have a friend of a friend that has been involved since the opening of the first store) and 2. I chose LunchBox for a couple of reasons. Whatever the reason, I found myself booking an online appointment at LunchBox – A Waxing Salon. I’m not sure if it’s my new brunette persona taking over, making me more brave, or if I’m finally just getting tired of shaving and that pushed me over the edge. Once in junior high my mom tried an at home eyebrow waxing kit on me…maybe that’s why I have steered clear ever since. In all of my 28 years, I have never waxed any part of my body until a couple of weeks ago.
