10 Get-Brazilian-Bald-Down-There Spots

Who knew that the formerly demure Pinay, once hesitant to shave her leg hair or depilate her balbon arms and slight mustache would take to the Brazilian (wax, not model) like a plucked duck to water? The result: a rapid growth in Brazilian waxing services folliculating all over the city as part of spa and salon menus and even as standalone shops. Strip off your inhibitions and repeat after me: "Hair-free is carefree" in salons from Las Piñas to Boracay. Lay Bare Waxing   Salon Branches: Abad Santos, Aguirre, Banawe, Buendia, Commonwealth,   Congressional, Filmore, Katipunan, Las Piñas, Libis, SM Fairview, and   Ybardaloza.

Contact info:   (0917) LAY-BARE, www.lay-bare.com Operation Hours: 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. daily How much to   shell out: P500 The lowdown: "Worried about horror stories where first-time hot waxers ended up with burnt skin, I was sold on Lay Bare's cold   wax jelly made of sugar, calamansi, and honey. I was horrified nevertheless:   there were so many customers during my first visit that I noticed the waxing bed was unkempt, with curly hairs everywhere! I informed the owner about it, and she personally contacted me to apologize. They've improved their cleanliness since then. A lot of my friends are now loyal customers. Lay Bare is like the value meal of waxing salons, complete with frequent flyer and discount cards." The verdict: Best price tag, cold wax technique, informative website, wide list of branches Brazilian   Bare Address: Heaven on the 5th, 5/F Rustan's Ayala Center,   Makati Contact info: (0922) 444-8498, (0920) 431-3087, (0923)   593-6737 Operation Hours: Mondays to Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.;   Sundays, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. How much to shell out: P755 The   lowdown: "Rose the waxer didn't waste any time. As soon as I dropped trou, her wham-bam-thank-you ma'am approach jolted me into painful attention. I was used to the medico-verbal foreplay of The Strip, but Rose skipped the small talk and dived straight into the main event and pulled her cloth strips,   fast-and-furious style. Although I was a bit shell-shocked by her speed, she was done in 15 minutes flat, thereby quickening, instead of prolonging the pain. Although she gave me no post-Brazilian care, she gave me a tip: Touch your knees together when you pee to avoid the requisite post-Brazilian splattering." The verdict: Swift, no-frills service corresponding to the affordable price, beachy-bare and very modest interiors, two booths closed   by curtains, clean-enough but not spic 'n' span rooms, very basic lotions and   potions.
