"I'm working on Pams' upper lip now. And, she's numb, we've used the emla. I'm going to look and access the angle of growth, which we discussed earlier. Now, we have the hair that's growing down, this will be my beginning. And, I'm going to taunt the skin a little bit. And, sometimes if I have to, if the client has discomfort or they're not using a numbing agent, which I get clients that are coming in for a few hairs and they don't numb, I'm going to counter balance the pain, I'm going to kind of push or prep a little bit and pinch over to the side, because it takes, they've told me many times through years, cause I've tried every kind of little experiment to make this job more comfortable, that basically, that helps a lot. Now, I slide that probe in at the angle of growth and then I slide out that hair, after it's been adequately treated and it releases, and then I drop it to the drape and I go onward. And, I stay with it, I mean it's, it's focused work, you know, and I'll tell you, you know, your arms and shoulders can hurt if you've done this for an hour or two. But, you try to sit up, I have chairs in my salon that make this really, I call "work friendly", but here, you know on the stage, we don't have those kind of set up. We're just, you know, to do the work is for this filming."
