00:00I've never seen a grown man this scared. I see a new booking pop up on my calendar.
00:04It's a guy. Let's call him Michael. Now, Michael didn't just book a back wax. No, no, babe.
00:10Michael booked the full thing. He needed everything waxed. And when I say everything,
00:15I mean everything. I was sweating. I had never waxed a man before, let much less the situation.
00:20But a girl's got to pay rent. So I set up everything and prayed to the esthetician gods.
00:25In walks, Michael, he is shaking. He looks like a hostage. I'm trying to be professional, right?
00:30I'm like, hey, bestie, welcome. What brings you in today? He looks at me with pure existential dread
00:36and goes, my girlfriend. Turns out his girlfriend of three months had just dropped a literal ultimatum.
00:42She told him she refuses to get intimate with him unless he gets smooth. That she thinks hairy guys
00:46are icky. He loved her. So there he was, sacrificing his dignity on my table. So we start the chest,
00:53fine. The stomach, easy. Then it's time for the lower parts. Babe, I've never seen a man more
01:00terrified in my life. He's gripping the edges of the table so hard his knuckles are translucent.
01:04I applied the hard wax, gave him the one, two, three breathe count and rip the noise that came
01:11out of this grown man's mouth. It wasn't just scream. It was a high pitched gasp. He literally
01:17whispered, oh heavens, I almost lost it right there. But the worst part, the girlfriend was texting
01:23him the entire time asking for progress updates. Like, ma'am, give the man a minute. His soul
01:28is about to leave his body. Two hours later, it was done. He is completely hairless. He's
01:34covered in soothing tea tree oil, walking like a cowboy who's been riding a horse for
01:38three weeks straight. As he's paying, he looks at me, deadpan, and goes, thank you. And I
01:44guess I'll see you in a few weeks. I wanted to hug him. I wanted to tell him to run.
01:48But
01:49girl, if a man is willing to let a stranger rip out his soul with hot wax just to get
01:53cozy
01:53with you, let me tell you. He is a keeper.
