"Bare-All Beauty - for truly satisfying beauty therapy."
The ad caught my eye as I flicked through the uni magazine. A silhouette of a dominatrix with a whip stood next to the text, a phone number and address below.
My regular beautician was on holidays and I was due for a touch up on my bikini line, so I thought I'd give them a call. The address given was just down the road from uni, so it was convenient enough.
"Bare-All Beauty, how may we satisfy your needs?" A dulcet voice answered the phone.
I told her I was after a touch up wax and booked the next available appointment.
"Have you been here before?" she inquired. When I told her I hadn't, she let out a husky giggle. "Fantastic. We love new clients. See you Friday!"
And that was that.
Before I knew it, the days passed and Friday had arrived. After class, I turned up at the address given in the ad. The beauty parlor was on the ground floor of an up-market apartment building near the university. Upon entering, I saw that most of the premises were actually located underground, with the reception area leading to a staircase down.
"Hi, welcome to Bare-All Beauty. You must be Keira, here for your 4pm appointment?"
Judging by her voice, the receptionist was the same woman I'd spoken to on the phone. A brunette, her hair gleamed in the fluorescent lighting and her shiny pink lips glistened when she smiled in greeting. She wasn't as traditionally beautiful as some of the girls I knew, but there was something compelling about her eyes, a knowing wisdom hidden in her innocent loveliness.
"Now, I forgot to mention this on the phone, but we've currently got a free upgrade to the 'Kinky Brazilian' - how would you like to try that today? I've penciled you in for it anyway, so please do say yes." She grinned winningly, her wet lips inviting me to agree with her.
"Sure, but I've never had a brazilian wax. Will it hurt much?"
Again, her beautiful, mysterious, mischievous grin quirked across her face. "Our wax therapists always do their best to distract you from the pain. I'm sure you'll love it."
Just then, a blond dressed in a white nurse's shift, silky hair swept into a tight bun, strolled up the stairs, her red high heels clicking as she walked. Each step lifted her shift slightly, revealing the lacy tops of her stockings.
"Anna, this is Keira. She's here for our Kinky Brazilian. Would you like to take her down?"
The nurse, Anna, smile graciously at me. "Wonderful to meet you, Keira. Follow me." Anna's smile held the same mystery as the receptionist's, her lips shimmering red. Anna was no less attractive, in fact was probably more so, owing to her large breasts straining at the white shift. She turned and sashayed back down the stairs, her round bottom swaying as she went.
