I have had many Hollywood waxes before and from a range of places. Maybe the wax or the technique didn't go well with my skin type as it hurt way more than usual and at times it felt like the wax was difficult to get off rather than the quick motion it usually takes. That said, the therapist was lovely and we did have a good chat and it did get the job done - and well. I think I am just used to another technique and a stronger wax.
