No literally 😭 part of what makes it not relaxing is all the logistics around the maintenance smh. Will I get there and be overcharged or under served?? Who knows

If I’m real, none of the beauty maintenance women do is relaxing. Getting my hair done is tedious and uncomfortable, getting. My nails done is tedious and often disappointing, hair removal is torture. What girly thing is relaxing other than the spa?

I been going to get my nails done since Friday. I lowkey think I be putting it off because I want to spend ALL my off days relaxing. That just ain’t a relaxing experience to me.
