Medi-Spas

Ok, this is kinda personal. No, make that very personal. Warning: this review deals with a subject matter of a sensitive nature. I will be using code words to describe the procedure that I’m about to tell y’all about. Friends have asked me about my experience here, so I figured I mightaswell tell all. Also — this review is for women only. So if you’re a man and you’re thinkin about reading this I’ll need to ask you to leave. Yeah, right.
I’ll start with the bottom line (pun intended) and work my way back (another pun intended). Laser hair removal is the most awesome-​ist thing you can do with that spare grand you have lying around ladies. I’m an italian-​american woman — dark hair, dark eyes, dark hair. You get the picture, I’m sure. I, like most females, hated waxing and shaving my poo-​nana-​nana (code word) before hittin the beach. And don’t even get me started on what happened after the summer. If I were Jewish I’d probably call it Chanukah bush (code word).
So…thought I’d try the laser procedure at Medi-​Spa. The spa is lovely and clean. It is run by a Persian woman, whom I find to be the epitome of well groomed women generally. This procedure is always done by an RN, so I felt safer than if someone who does facials was doing it. I also, and this is important, felt more comfortable with an RN in showing her all of France (where, I’m told, by the way, that the women where no underpants).
You’ll need to do some research beforehand. While there is no shortage of pictures of «girls-​next-​door» online, I found that finding one without some sort of apparatus involved was a challenge. By all means bring a picture. If nothing else it’ll make your RN giggle — mine did. You’ll also need to decide what you want the finished product to look like. This is for keeps here, so while you might have thought that sassy spikey haircut was a keeper for a couple of years in the 80’s, there’s no changing your mind here. Once it’s gone, it’s a goner. There are of course lots of styles to choose from — there’s the Landing Strip, the Hitler, the Old School, etc. So deciding what you want in advance is a must.
The RN made me feel very comfortable, (hell — for all that she saw she could have at least bought me dinner!). You get a little shavin’ first which seemed oddly counterproductive to me. They spread this gooey stuff on you and then the laser gun hits each follicle with a little pop and a creepy «is my skin on fire?» smell. The laser gun isn’t very painful. In fact, compared to a tattoo it was about the same level of pain. It does get worse with each subsequent visit however, but nothing you couldn’t stand. You’re a woman. The whole thing takes about ½ hour, unless of course you’re Sasquatch. I opted for the Brazilian which even with code words I couldn’t even begin to explain to you, so just ask them what it means.
It’s expensive and worth every single penny. My little Lord Fauntleroy (code word) is a work of art.
