U T O P I A: LAY BARE

11.17.2011

After months and months of persuasion from my sorority sisters and set mates, I finally decided to go to Lay Bare tonight to avail of their waxing services.

Yes, it was my first time. I am used to doing things on my own; from shaving legs, waxing underarms up to the other hairy parts of the body. :P I don’t know why but I’m just not comfortable with the thought of complete strangers seeing the “secret” parts of me. Yeah. I’m manang like that. Haha. But I didn’t have much time to do such things anymore. I am off to the beach this weekend so I needed an express way to the comfort of being able to wear a swimsuit.

I will not announce the specific services I availed. I don’t think anyone would ever do that. Or again, maybe, I’m just manang like that. J

Anyway, so Lay Bare has many branches. I was supposed to go to their Katipunan branch with my sorority setmate Pola, but when I checked their website they actually have a branch in Robinsons Metroeast. I decided to have a “Me” time and opted to have my waxing appointment there.

I was greeted with happy smiles. Ate Lyn was the waxer (is that what you call it?) who took care of me. She was very warm and she appeared like she knew what she was doing. She probably sensed discomfort on my part so she started to tell me stories and jokes. She kept on saying "ako lang 'to. secret lang natin." “mabilis lang ‘to, Ma’am. Relax ka lang dyan” and “ang beach Ma’am, sayang ang beach.” I was trying so hard not to laugh at her jokes and she was trying so hard not to laugh at me whenever I squirmed. Great job, Ate Lyn. And I finished with flying colours. J
