Since there has been two blog posts on tanning salons, I chose this amusing article that also features a salon, although of a different nature. I found it quite interesting that Brazilian waxing is illegal in New Jersey. Although it is against the law, most salons in NJ have been offering Brazilian waxing for years. I'm not quite sure how many of these salon owners, or even customers, are aware that genital waxing is illegal there.
"New Jersey statutes allow waxing of the face, neck, arms, legs and abdomen, but officials say that genital waxing has always been illegal, although not spelled out."
The proposal apparently came after two women were hospitalized after waxing, and one of them sued. I can imagine the many protests from women (and some men) living in NJ if Brazilian waxing is banned. Brazilian waxing has grown increasingly more popular over the years, and so not being able to get this service would certainly upset quite a number of people. Moreover, since Brazilian waxing is a bit more costly, salon owners would lose a lot of money if the proposal comes through. The Board of Cosmetology next meets on April 14, and we shall see whether NJ residents must resort to do their own waxing or travel to a different state just to get their "B" wax.
