To women in Alexandria/beauty institute by Salowa

Hello to you girls out there, does anyone know about a beauty institute in Alex please? Who does wax epilation in particular... Thankyou for your help! Cheers

Wax is a different type of mixture than halawa. Is a mix of bee wax, colofonium, paraffin oil and other ingredients. The term waxing is used wrong, is actually hair removal. Is the same as when you copy a page you call it xerox, even is a trademark. Read More
