Beautician reveals client's ‘worst habit’ before coming in for a Brazilian wax

Beautician reveals client's ‘worst habit’ before coming in for a Brazilian wax

Professional waxer Jess Normanton shared that there's one thing we should never do before booking a wax

Going for a wax can be a stressful experience, but can be made easier only by professional waxers who are able to communicate clearly about the do's and don'ts before the big day.

One professional waxer, Jess Normanton, calls herself 'your hairy fairy godmother' due to the number of intimate waxes she completes.

Jess is the 29-year-old founder of The Brazilian Wax Company.

Based in Halifax, Jess and her company have gained over 90,000 followers on TikTok.

The wax specialist shares a range of inspirational videos including normalising different types of vaginas and vulvas, to navigating dreaded smear tests.

She also went viral for explaining why living with herpes is nothing to be ashamed of - and that it's completely acceptable to go for a wax if you suffer from genital herpes.

In an exclusive chat with Tyla, Jess shared all of the inside info when it comes to waxing intimate areas.

Jess started her own business at 27, and we asked her why - to which she said: "I wanted to do [waxing] as I knew that I could help so many women as so many of them have body insecurities and worries.

"I wanted to create a friendly environment that every woman could feel comfortable in.

"I knew that during a wax appointment where women feel vulnerable, I could have the power to change their negative views on their body.

"I love my job for this reason, I am constantly changing their lives."

Jess shares stories of things her clients have gone on to achieve after having a wax.

According to the professional waxer, they 'start a new hobby, let their husband see their vagina for the first time, wear shorts, not bother about pigmentation on their vulva anymore, and realise they are not alone in their worries'.

When asked what the 'worst habit' is that a client can have, Jess stressed: "The worst habit a client has is picking ingrown hairs! Stop picking and exfoliate instead!"

She also admitted the 'weirdest' things she's seen on the job.

Jess said: "It could be when a client had a prolapsed uterus and she didn’t even know about it. Or when I was peed on? Not sure which gets the weirdest award."

She added: "People say crazy stuff all the time during a wax. I am sworn at constantly."

Jess also had some stern words of wisdom for potential wax clients.

She said: "A client should never use scented lotions or cleanser on their vulva or vagina and most definitely do not wax your own Hollywood!"
