If you told me that I’d be modeling, catwalking or even deejaying a few years back, I’d laugh in your face and tell you that it won’t happen in a million years. But let’s say that my life somehow made a 360′ turn and I ended up doing all the three and I’m no longer the person you know 2-3 years back. Funny how life turns out, eh?
Anyway, my teacher cum personal image consultant, a catwalk coach and designer Kos Serani told me something during one of our catwalk and grooming class. We were discussing on how one should dress up if my memories serves me right. He told me that less is more and never wear clothing that shows your cleavage and legs at the same time. To look attractive and classy, always go for clothes that reveals legs only or cleavage only and not both. A sensible advice, as to reveal both legs and cleavage at the same time does make you look like quite a tart.
The advice is forever etched in my mind, and from then on, I only choose clothing that is either modest and cover up, or dresses that only show off my legs. Why do I opt for legs? Well, apparently that’s because I’m very petite and there’s no change of me showing my cleavage and looking attractive. I’m afraid if I were to opt to show my cleavage, I’d be called a cute schoolgirl instead of a beautiful woman. So yes, legs it is.
Problems? Well, yes. I’m not exactly blessed with completely hairless leg and I need to shave or wax whenever those tiny hairs started to grow.
I shave and wax my legs regularly, but I do have concerns whenever I visit waxing salons, which is privacy and personal hygiene.
A friend highly recommends Strip, Ministry of Waxing to me and I thought I’d give it a shot.
Strip outlet in Mid Valley Megamall Kuala Lumpur.

Strip, the Ministry of Waxing, has apparently launched a drive on “No Double Dipping” via it’s “Dirty Little Secrets Exposed” campaign quite some time ago where it’s main goal is to bring awareness to the public that there are hygienic waxing practices, which should always be performed in hair removal salons and this includes:
1. Using a new disposable razor for each customer.
2. Ensuring each customer receives a fresh towel.
3. Making sure all therapists are gloved up during treatments.
Disposable wax kit. The kit looks rather cheeky;it’s all wrapped up in colourful foil and at first glance, one could easily mistake it for a giant sized condom.
Individual treatment rooms is available for your waxing pleasure.
I decided to wax my legs and here’s me, taking a deep, deep breath while my therapist gets her tools ready to wax me.
Applying the sticky stuff to my legs. It’s pretty hot, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.
Stripping off the hair. I exclaimed ‘ouch’ a few times but the pain is not unbearable, and I’m grateful for that. My legs has always been sensitive and I think my therapist did fairly a good job in waxing me without getting me to scream like a banshee. Observing my therapist, I must say that she did practice all of the personal hygiene code set by Strip, and I’m happy to report that I’m very satisfied with the service and will definitely make revisits soon.
The legs feels and looked much more delectable…I mean smoother and much more comfortable after waxing. :p If you haven’t try waxing, you might want to give Strip a shot. They will strip off your dirty little secrets without cheating on you. 😉

It’s wonderful that Strip Malaysia is implementing safe and hygienic practices to ensure the safety of their clients. 🙂
Yups. Hygiene is a non compromise thing when it comes to wading. 😉
Hi Ellie, thanks for your sharing on waxing. I think I want to try and experience it once myself coming soon : )
My pleasure. 😉 you should try waxing. It is not as painful as it looks.
Lots of people having this problem because of their long hair. Waxing definitely a good choice as the hair will be soft, if not it will be hard if shave it D:
Yes. 🙂 I guess so.
I’ve been there a few times for work engagements but never actually having had a wax before. I think women are extremely brave for doing it 🙂
They have waxing for guys too. Maybe you can give it a try the next time you are there. 😉
hehe.. haven’t try Strip but after read your post find it interesting. Last time at home, waxed my legs also I say ouch few times lol.
Can try waxing here next time. Not that painful.
What… No screaming like banshee??? That is kind of deflating… Hehehe… But thumbs up… I still have to go through that fear factor… Lol
Ohhh.. no. Lol. It is not that painful. The pain is manageable.
HAHA. i remember the first time i waxed my legs. But i heard that Strip is a good place to get your waxing done 🙂

Ohhhh yes. The therapist here are good. I can vouch for it.
Waxing is good… smooth and even grow back, it’s really finer… 🙂
I have honestly had the same concerns as you, about hygiene etc, so I always shave but they come up again after two days. :/. I will definitely give Strip a try.
Hopefully I won’t start screaming like banshee, congrats for being able to hold it back. haha 🙂

Don’t worry. I doubt you will be screaming like one.
hmmm… I tried waxing once few years back then, but it’s too uncomfortable to me having my legs hairless, haha, but definitely a unique experience for a guy with hairy leg like me, hahaha
Lol. It would is different for us women. Hairless is better.
Hahaha! So understand that “ouch” jump feeling. Actually more like a shock instead of pain 😛 congrats on holding it in till the end 🙂
Yes yes…more of shock than actual pain. :p
Yes hygiene is really important when it comes to such services! I have yet to try waxing because I’m afraid it will be super painful!! ><
Hahaha…you should try. The pain is manageable.
Heard so much before about waxing, glad that you enjoyed your session, will probably try it for myself on some special occassion 😉
😉 do write about it when you do.
why only the legs. Go for the Brazilian wax ma! 😛 I actually received an invitation for this, almost wanted to go for the Boyzilian.. but then…
Hahaha. It was not a convenient time of the month to do Brazilian. :p
I went to Strips before. Good service but I don’t like they keep promoting me to buy things.
🙁 maybe you can email them about it. It’s a shame if they are being pushy as their therapist are good.
I do a lot waxing before, but it’s painful. lol…
Not too bad for me, thankfully.
You are brave!! I don’t dare to do any waxing :p
He he he…you should try.
The package of waxkit is the one that attracted me..haha
Lol. To be honest, I was attracted to the wax kit too. Hahahaaaaa
I not dare to do any waxing, is super pain 😡
🙁 I guess your tolerance to pain is different. It wasn’t that painful for me
