Waxing Law: Hairy Situation in New Jersey

You may have to cover up down the shore this summer. The Brazilian wax could be ripped from salons if a proposed ban on genital waxing is passed in N.J.

A growing controversy could lead to a hairy situation in New Jersey.

The Brazilian wax could be ripped from salons if a proposed ban on genital waxing is passed by N.J.’s Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.

So, you may have to cover up "down the shore" this summer.

N.J. law is a bit fuzzy when it comes to the hair down there, but according to the state, genital waxing is illegal. Only the face, neck, abdomen, legs and arms of patrons can be stripped, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Who knew? Apparently not many salon owners...

Still, beauty schools teach the procedure and most salons offer it to clients who want to bare all.

So, why would the wax get cut now? Two women filed complaints with the board after being hospitalized due to their hair-ridding sessions. One even sued, Jeff Lamm of the N.J. Division of Consumer Affairs told the paper.

Salons are concerned their profits may be shaved if this is passed, a salon owner told the Daily News.

They’re also worried women, and men, may be forced to ditch their pubic hair on their own, through waxing themselves, if the proposal sticks.

And so help us if we have to resort to this to make the natural look more fashionable.

You know what they say:

This will just lead to back-alley genital waxing.

Gheezeeee, what ever happened to modesty? Especially woman who have aged, been through childbirth, etc. Who needs to see that old thing? We are course and vulgar and don’t even know it. Anyone with pride and decorum would not be in haste to share that vision with the genpop, young, mid-aged or seasoned. IMHO

Backs and chests will remain hairy.

It's not something I would ever want to do, but what business is this of the state government? Are they going to have sting operations with hairy police women? Will there be funny business as with the ATF's sawed off shotgun rules? "Yes, I told you to wax to there, but you should have known the law that that as 1/4" too far. You're under arrest."

Well, that totally justifies it. While they're at it, they'd better ban all hair salons to prevent clipper accidents.

What nonsense. The grooming habits of citizens is absolutely none of the government's business.

Lawfully, they will allow a babies head to be partially exposed and have its brain sucked out, for the mothers health...........but the grooming of a person is now a priority.

"It's not something I would ever want to do, but what business is this of the state government?"

"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. ... We're after power and we mean it... ...when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. -- Atlas Shrugged

oh jeeze, now we will have the ugly women demanding brazillian wax goverment subsidies in order to prevent deaths from back alley bikini waxes.

Perhaps we can set up a home for NJ refugee beautiful women models in the free states.

Do we have volunteers to help comfort these poor models in their time of need?
