Beauty is pain

[tinyjo]

I've decided that this summer, I'd like to get my legs waxed. I've tried using the strips they sell in Boots and not got anywhere so I'm going to go the whole hog and get it done professionally. This brings up 2 questions: 1) where's a good place in Oxford for a leg wax? and 2) how long to I have to grow the hair before I get it done?

Don't know about where to get it done, but you generally need about 0.5cm of hair to do it without damaging the skin (or so my sister was saying). You may also want to consider sugaring as it damages the skin less.

But if you find a good answer to 1. let me know. :)
