Hi there,
I went to the same salon twice to get a brazilian wax (they were all Asians).
I can't remember if she used gloves (I don't think she did). But I DO know that she double dipped the wooden stick and from watching some TV shows regarding this (Dr. OZ and Tyra Banks), I soon found out that you CAN get an STD and HIV and Hep C from contaminated wax. I called the salon after I saw these TV shows and they said that THEY DO NOT change the wax between clients and that the wax is safe, since the wax is kept at a hot temperature. I don't remember the wax being at all hot, but maybe lukewarm.
Should I be concerned that I caught something from these unsafe practices? I am so angry at them and myself... How could I not of thought about this before seeing the TV shows?!
PS I did bleed a bit during the waxing sessions.
