Ladies, ladies, ladies…you know that we have all been in a predicament from a day of not shaving…DON’T LIE! It has DEFINITELY happened to you AT LEAST once where you might have a little more than stubble….let’s hope!!!

What about those people that call it a “tradition/trend” to NOT shave their legs or underarms? Yeah, I know that Julia Roberts (and the two women I saw on the subway platform) tried to pull that one off but that’s something I would NEVER do on PURPOSE!!!

I’m single in the city of dreams, trying to get a date and I’m sure this summer guys ARE NOT looking for a girl that has braids under her armpits in a flirty Tracy Reese sundress.

NO! THANK! YOU!

People, stop being lazy and making “excuses”!! If you cannot shave everyday opt for laser hair removal or even a hair inhibitor like completely smooth to prolong shaving….because honestly, do NOT run your hairy legs against mine, unless you’re a tall, dark and handsome man! Ha!

JUST SAY NO TO STUBBLE!!!

    I have to say I disagree with this and am even a bit offended. I am a shaver and a waxer but there was a point in my life where I let it all grow. I have also been in relationships with women who did not shave. So what? People should feel beautiful the way they want to feel beautiful. And if it is via waxing, then awesome, this Salon is here for you. But if not, they should not be made to feel less than or unhygenic in any way.

  2. I have to agree — this is completely offensive and downright bitchy. I’m a fan of Completely Bare, but don’t belittle and bully your customers into feeling monstrous for being human.

    Lesson learned, don’t post in haste… I apologize for my anti-hair tirade as the subway can make any woman feisty. This was by no means meant to be a judgment upon those who prefer to go a little au natural. However, when I am nose-to-pit with another girl on the subway who is less than groomed, my inner bare girl kicks in. Although I know everyone has their own style and I am a true believer in embracing your individuality.Thank you for your comments Cindy

  4. I agree with you, Cindy. Although I do think women should feel comfortable in their own skin- personally it’s much nicer when things are super smooth and bare as possible. I don’t think this post was pigeon-holing the unshaven as Unhygienic, nor did it make me feel like a monster for my going on 2 weeks of what I’ve been trying to convince myself was just a light stubble on my legs bc I’ve been too lazy to shave. Will my boyfriend dump me bc of this? Of course not. Should I lock myself inside for daring to not be bare? Don’t be ridiculous. But I for one think there is nothing sexier then when I’m lying next to my dude and I know my legs are silky smooth. Taking care of myself makes me feel empowered- and for me that includes a clean shave.
    I think it’s a matter of opinion, and I don’t think feelings should be hurt over a hair removal spa promoting just that- hair removal. Whether you shave or don’t- you shouldn’t take yourselves so seriously…after all, it’s just hair!

Well ladies….it seems as if we have yet ANOTHER HAIRY SITUATION…just when you thought that John Mayer could blissfully sweep you off your feet with some romantic lyrics and an acoustic guitar see below for Exhibit A.  Definitely NOT a WONDERLAND down there!

John, clean up your act (literally) and have The Situation teach you a lesson (never thought I would be saying that).

CLEAN THAT HAIR OFF!!!!! COMPLETELY BARE!!!!

John Mayer and The Situation

While watching all of the publicity hype for the premier of the movie, MacGruber, it seemed as if the character Vicki St. Elmo, played by Kristin Wiig, got a taste of her VERY OWN hairy situation.  She talked on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon about the hot-and-bothered sex scene her and MacGruber (played by Will Forte) had, on her birthday nonetheless.

Wiig said that there was absolutely no A/C, it was 95-degrees, on satin sheets, and both she and Forte were drenched in sweat.  To put a little cherry on top – Wiig explained that during this sex scene Forte’s chest looked like a SWEATER and it was acting like a “vessel” for the sweat to drip on her – EWWW!!!

At least Wiig and Forte have been long-time friends and they can joke about this hairy mess, literally.

Ladies – have you ever gotten into a situation like this? Have you ever said anything to your significant other??

You discuss with your best friends about the most intimate details of your life: relationships, men, sex, grooming. However, it takes the anonymity of a seasoned specialist to make you feel truly safe enough to ask the most personal and seemingly embarrassing questions.

One common question that most women are afraid to ask is “hair or no hair”? Should I take everything off? Should I leave some hair? How much hair is too much hair? The answer is always what makes you feel the
most comfortable and what makes you feel great. For most women, the most popular bikini shape is what they call a Brazilian. This shape leaves what is now infamously called the landing strip…a narrow, rectangular section of hair located right above the labia. The landing strip can be as thin or as thick as you would like. The average size is about the width of two index fingers. If a landing strip is too risqué for you, there are other options to try! Many women prefer a triangle or even a square depending on their body type.

Then you have your creative types. I’m talking lightening bolts, hearts, even initials. Then you have the women who want to 86 their hair altogether going completely bare.

With all the choices out there, how does one decide? My advice is simple: try the newest and the latest but keep in mind what looks best on you. Unlike your Hanky Panky’s, bikini shapes are not one-size-fits-all. At completely bare spa, our specialists will work with a client to achieve the most flattering shape.

If you cannot get to a completely bare spa, here are some tips: If you’re curvy, a triangle with soft edges will give the appearance of a slender silhouette. If you have narrow hips, an inverted triangle will give the illusion of feminine curves. Last, but definitely not least, have your specialist evenly trim your shape to the desired length.

And remember ladies, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. How many times do you change your hairstyle before you find the right one? Exactly.

Cindy,

I’ve just started reading your blog,  and it feels good knowing that everyone has these hairy situations. I have one hairy situation that hasn’t been brought up yet and I wanted to get your feedback.  I can’t believe that I’m going to be revealing this deep dark secret but here goes…I have hair that has been growing around my nipples. First off, is this common? I’ve been taking tweezers to the hairs individually but they keep growing back.  Second, is there a way to get rid of this forever to end plucking before a date? thanks,  Patiently Plucking

Dear Patiently Plucking,

This is absolutely more common than you would think. This is obviously not something you speak openly about over dinner with your best friend, but I guarantee if you did you would have just one more thing in common. The best way to get rid of this hair is by using simple laser hair removal. But CAUTION: make sure you go to a technician that has a specialized machine which has a small spot size. The areola area must be treated with a more precise and accurate light.  So do your research and choose wisely.

  1. Laser hair removal is not currently in my budget. I was wondering if Completely Smooth for Body is okay for use in this sensitive area. I know a lot of depilatories advise against use on the breast and genital area.

    Thanks!
