How Many Waxes Is Too Many Waxes?

Being a straight, seventeen-year-old boy, working as a receptionist at a hair salon brings lots of insightful and — different experiences into my life.

I mean, any hair salon or even barber shop is bound to have interesting characters. Whether it’s customers or stylists, there are always gonna be characters from all sides of the moon walking through the door. Being a straight, seventeen -year-old boy, working as a receptionist at a hair salon, I think makes people treat me a little differently. And I don’t mean that negatively.

For example, there is a man who comes into the salon like twice a month. Every other appointment, he gets a haircut, but what comes along with that haircut? I wanna say it’s really gross, but to be totally honest, at the end of the day… it is pretty fucking clean.

Being a straight, seventeen-year-old boy, working as a receptionist at a hair salon probably made it tough for this tall, soft skinned sir to explain his future bookings. Which include getting waxed. And not just a simple eyebrow wax, which is always included, but I mean getting waxed. Waxed to the max. I’m talking legs, arms, back, ears, lip. If it is below the eyebrows, it is getting waxed. I feel so sorry for my boss who has to do it. She’s in that wax room of horrors for over an hour.

Being a straight, seventeen-year-old boy, working as a receptionist at hair salon has been great because I get to know regulars like this. Before he exits the wax room, I know exactly what he needs booked.
