I want to get my entire lower body waxed but i'm embarrassed about having more hair than normal and what the waxing woman would say/think. Most of them in Karachi (pakistan) are quite vocal. Atleast the ones I've met. And I don't know any that would be kind enough to not say anything. It's going to be my first time. And I don't know who to go to either.

All the women have waxed many other people before and have seen it all (truely!).
I had a friend who did a beauty therapy course (she never went on to actually make it a career though...) and she said when they are waxing, they are looking at the hair itself and the direction it grows, the don't see the hair in the same context as we do when we look at ourselves.
You have a right when you pay for a service to get a quality service, so speak up before they begin and ask that you would rather they waxed in silence if that will make it easier on you! Otherwise take charge and lead the coversation, talk about the weather or current affairs. It will be over in no time!

HI! I was worried the first time I went to get waxed, but I explained that I have PCOS which causes hair issues. The woman assured me she'd seen it all and not to worry about it. The appointment went fine, but my waxing did take longer than my friend's did. (We booked our appointments one right after the other). p.s. My friend doesn't have PCOS. Take care and good luck.

Oh wow, I stayed in karachi for some time too. I have the same problem as you, LOTS of leg hair. I went to Mahrose once and i didn't like the waxers there...they were slow too. There's this place called Ideal salon close to Muhammad Ali Society and they're pretty good. They just do their work and don't say much, plus they're cheaper. At least when I went there five years ago.
