Waxing?

[starlight]

I injured my right hand over the weekend and shaving did NOT go well. Has anyone with PA/TNA been to a salon for waxing? I'm going to call a place tonight but wanted to check here first cause if peanut oil, almond oil, etc. is a standard ingredient I won't bother...

I only get my brows done, so I'm not sure about other parts...  One time I broke out in hives because she put some soothing oily stuff on right after she did it. I didn't realize she was going to do it until after the fact and there were no ingredients on her container. Since then, I've told her not to use it and haven't had any problems. At first I suspected nut, but now I think it's probably more likely it was tea tree which I'm also horribly allergic to.

Never been to a salon, but home stuff comes with that soothing after-oil too. It was one of those things that just made me nervous....I trust that instinct. Instead I used a hand/body cream that is safe for me.  Just a normal cream, not an oil.
