New Jersey women may not be sporting teeny, weeny yellow polka dot bikinis during this upcoming summer season because of a state law in the making.
The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is considering a ban on Brazilian waxes.
Genital waxing has never been allowed, yet Brazilian waxes have never been specifically banned.
The hot wax can injure sensitive skin and result in infections and rashes, experts say.
Two New Jersey women recently reported injuries after Brazilian waxes. Both were hospitalized for infections.
Yet millions of American men and women believe they can handle the heat. Most salons in New Jersey profit about $50 to $60 per customer.
On April 14, the state Board of Cosmetology will decide whether or not to fight against the Brazilian waxes.
"It's just not right," says spa owner Linda Orsuto. Her business performs almost 1,800 Brazilian waxes annually.
The ban could be enforced in May if the Board decides to support the ban.
