doofqueen- sounds like she did a really bad job, even on the home waxing kit it says that it's important to smooth down the strip before pulling, could be that's why you have stubble, if you don't smoothe it down it probably only breaks off the hair at the surface and doesn't pull it out from the roots.
I always wax these days (brazilian), I've vowed never to touch my privates with a razor again, I get terrible razor rash and ingrown hairs if I do (I get a bit when I wax too but not at all as much). I do the waxing myself and I don't think it hurts that much, the first time is the hardest. Waxing my armpits on the other hand hurts like hell though, but I'm slowly getting braver.
Anyway I have problems with the hairs growing out because not all of them grow out at the same time, which means everytime I wax there will be new hairs popping up after a few days. I could solve the problem by tweezing, but that takes time and there are some places not easily reached by a tweezer... The only good thing compared to shaving is that most the hair that grows back is so fine that you can hardly see/feel it, but its still annoying. Anyone else have this problem?
