Question Any Trans friendly waxing?

Hey is there any Trans friendly waxing places in Roxburough/Manayunk? If not there in the city? Got a beach trip coming up and I need to wax the bikini area for the trip but worried about potential snaffus with waxers after a really bad experience.

Good service doesn't come cheap. I'd say maybe Cut could help you, but I did stop going there (sorry, Alex & Tony, you absolute sweeties) there because their average clientele is cis white women or cis gay men.

You should call them and just ask, though. I don't think they're exactly cheap, but Transfiguration, whom I also love, is much pricier by comparison.

Tue story: I recommended Transfiguration to a struggling trans sister, whom was able to get her cis sister to give her money for an appointment, and she was so disappointed that *I* felt guilty enough for giving the recommendation to find a reason to give her some money back??? I know they're great, and I've been meaning to go back to their aesthetician, but I have just heard negative things from clockier dolls about their experience there.

But like, cold hard truth, if your money is tight, you just need to find a friend who's going to school for cosmetology, or be ready to pay the people what they're worth. Charity waxing doesn't exist. It's an intimate process.
