Shaving is a chore that has to be done (okay, it doesn’t have to, but should be), and if you decide to adopt other methods, such as waxing or threading, it can be a little uncomfortable and expensive. Personally, I stick to shaving. My skin is not super sensitive, but does react negatively from time to time. I am on a quest to find that perfect razor, but until then, I have found a fabulous alternative to those pesky ingrown hairs.

Queen Bee Waxing has a product that every girl should have in her bathroom, Buzz off Bumps™ For Pesky Ingrowns. Buzz off Bumps™ is a round, pre-medicated pad that is easy and fast to use. All you have to do is swipe the pad over the area 24 hours after shaving or waxing, and let dry. These little pads can be used everywhere! Your bikini area, underarms, and yes, men can use them too!

Queen Bee Waxing is the inspirational dream of Jodi Shays who is passionate about waxing, and I recently had the pleasure of speaking with her:

Denice: What was your inspiration for Queen Bee Waxing?
Jodi: I’m a neat freak by heart (it’s a Virgo thing). I cannot stand hair, but even worse than that, I couldn’t stand going to waxing establishments that didn’t do what I paid them to do. Therefore, I decided to learn how to do it myself, properly.

D: What is your favorite and/or top selling product, and why?
J: Buzz Off Bumps!, our salicylic acid pads. First we developed them as acne pads and realized that they were blasting ingrown hairs as well. Salicylic acid is a very reliable and powerful acid that can aid at ridding the follicle of debris, which causes the blockage in the first place. It cleans up the top layer of skin, allowing the new hair to grow out properly.

D: How does Queen Bee help women feel beautiful?
J: I’ve had a lot of people tell me that getting a Brazilian Bikini wax makes them feel empowered and sexy. Not only that, you absolutely do feel very clean and sassy.

D: How does Queen Bee make people feel at ease during a situation that can be uncomfortable?
J: You have to be able to talk to your client, the whole time. Silence is awkward, especially when you are taking away hair from “down there”. Also, we educate our clients before they wax, such as what to expect; we answer all questions.

D: You state that you are leaders in LA. Do you have any famous clients?
J: Yes we do. But we are asked not to divulge their names. We have to sign legal documents to that effect. Not every celeb wants you to know about their hair removal habits, and we definitely don’t want photographers outside of the shop. It’s too much of a personal experience. Celebs are treated like every other client who comes into the shop, and I know that they appreciate this.

D: Any tips you want to share?
J: It’s always a good idea to shower before an appointment!

You can catch Jodi tonight on E!’s Chelsea Lately show. To book an appointment or purchase products, contact the salon.

Thanks Jodi and Queen Bee waxing for sharing!
