personally I’ve done the shave and trim in the past for a long long time. And I’ve never really had problems with it tbh. But for me, hair grows back quite fast. And sometimes there will be irritation.. razor bumps and shit and that itchy prickly feeling. That’s what I don’t like. With waxing. I really don’t get that much irritation and I didn’t get any ingrown... but like I said. The price is what gets me. 90-100 dollars every month tips included. (Some spas will give u a 10 dollar discount if u come 4 weeks, but once u go past the 5 week mark, u will be charged the original price.) Ur looking at 4 digit pricing for a whole year. That’s a lot of money just for that area....
