The same reaction your face had, I had! just farther south
YOUCH!

Kenyonchris, kudos on doing so much to take care of yourself. I'm sorry that particular day it didn't work out so well.

I just started getting my eyebrows and upper lip done a couple of months ago, and darned if she didn't say, "You know, you've got some hairs coming in on your chin, too. Would you like me to get those?" Um, yeah, thanks. (and yeah, it's the wiry old lady kind)

So there I am, lulled into a false sense of squishiness because of this young woman's soft, soothing voice assuring me that it won't hurt - much - and trying not to feel too much like one of the three little pigs, and she starts whisking off the cloths. Ouch! Ouch! OUCH! Oh, dear lord in heaven, how long does this go on?

Not too long, thank goodness, but after that first trip, I learned to take an icepack in a little insulated lunch bag with me, along with a wet washcloth to cool off my swollen face. And I didn't even go running afterward.
