Is Your Waxer a Blabbermouth?
By Sarah Wexler, Allure magazine
I was interviewing a bikini waxer for a story recently when, out of the blue, she started telling me anecdotes about her clients. Her topics included what pubic hair shape they like, their grooming habits, who goes fully bare-and she identified several of these clients by their full names! Most horrifyingly of all, I knew one of them personally, and may never be able to make eye contact with this coworker again. How mortified would she be if she knew her waxer was talking about the exact state of her bush all over town?

It's not the first time I've had a waxer tell me stories about other clients, though it was the first time one used their names. Unlike doctors, aestheticians don't sign a HIPAA privacy agreement, and technically they're not really giving our your medical information...just your super-embarrassing pubic hair details. Still, it's not surprising that we expect them to behave as professionally as doctors, since clients strip down in front of them like they're gynecologists, with nary a paper gown or framed degree in sight.
Do you trust your waxer to keep your privacy? Or maybe the real question is, should you?
