How to Communicate With a Beautician in English

In summer, it is especially important to remove those unwanted hairs. We wear sleeveless shirts, sunbathe on the beach, and wear light skirts. In all of these cases, in order to feel comfortable, it is important to be well-shaved and clean. This applies not only to women but to the men who increasingly choose to wax as well.

If you are abroad and need to communicate with a beautician, it is a good idea to know how to express yourself in English. Here is a glossary and some phrases you will need to be neatly groomed even on your vacations.
