Beauty treatments are designed to help you to feel plucked, pruned and polished, but what if your receipt made you second guess ever going for a wax again?
Well, that is what happened when a Reddit user took a trip to a salon and found that they really do break it down in the payment details.
After being completely waxed like a baby dolphin, user shadhead1981 decided to share their mortification upon taking a peek at the billing receipt after paying for their beauty treatment.

They wrote: “Ladies, are they always this, uh, descriptive when taking down waxing instructions?”
The receipt in question provided a full list of services and charges, which may or may not be out of the ordinary.
It read:
Advert
“Brazilian 6 weeks or more”
“1/2 leg wax
“6 months – post partum- plus sized woman
“Italian thick course hair
Advert
“1/2 leg from upper knee to thigh
“Clean up labia but leave a lil bush
“Labia to butt clean up
Now that’s a detailed list of services.

But, as you can see from the receipt, the business didn’t charge for these additional waxing items, which begs the question of why it was included at all.
Regardless of the whys, Reddit obviously lapped this story up, with users quick to throw down their jokes about the situation in the comment section.
One commenter joked: “Lil Bush is your street name now. I don’t make the rules.”
Someone else who works in a salon was shocked at the receipt, but was sure that something must have been technically wrong for this to have happened.

They wrote: “As someone in the biz… they have their settings wrong. We keep notes, but I have never printed them on a receipt. Don’t feel self-conscious, all we actually see is skin and hair and when we’re done, there’s no more hair where you don’t want hair if it’s done well.”
Others were absolutely put off the idea of ever being waxed after seeing the image: “I’ve never been waxed and this makes me scared to do it..description be like: Full jungle clean up with with machete assistance needed. Cleaned up half…gave up LOL”.
And then there were those who decided to be thankful for their jobs: “You know, I complain about my job, but after seeing this, I think my job is actually not so bad.”
Perhaps it was the detail of exactly which areas were waxed, or even mentioning that the poster was six months postpartum that made it all seem rather odd.
Regardless, the business gets points for observation and a very thorough job!
