‘That’s so predatory and gross omg I’m sorry’: Esthetician says ‘Teresa’ booked Brazilian wax. Then she sees who shows up
An esthetician who only takes female clients had to refuse service for a potential client. That’s because ‘Teresa’ did not match the presentation she expected.
In a video with over 1 million views, @girllclub discussed a recent encounter with the client, who got upset when she refused to give them a Brazilian wax treatment. When she explained why, they “threw” a fit before eventually leaving.
Who booked a Brazilian wax?
@girllclub was having a regular day and was about to meet a new client, “Teresa,” for a Brazilian wax. But when she saw them in person, she realized they didn’t match her initial expectations. She immediately suspected that the person had booked under a name that did not match their presentation.
“I go out to the lobby to get ‘her,’ and it’s a man. He said, ‘Yeah, my name’s Teresa,’ and I was like, no, it isn’t,” @girllclub recalled.
She tried to explain that she does not accept male clients and has a clear policy against it. “I told him, ‘I don’t take male clients, and I have a really good reason for doing that,’” she said. “I don’t really care if it seems discriminatory. There are plenty of other places in town that will take him.”
To help redirect the client, she suggested other local spots that accept walk-ins. “I told him, ‘You can literally go there right now,’” she said. But the person became visibly upset before eventually walking out. “He threw a whole scene and was clearly pissed.”
She emphasized that the encounter was avoidable. “You’re the one booking under a female name because my site clearly states I don’t accept male clients,” she said.
@girllclub I would feel really bad if he didn’t book under a girls name and if it wasn’t clearly stated. #fyp #client #storytime #esthetician ♬ original sound – girllclub
Is there more to the story?
It is possible that “Teresa” is the potential client’s actual name, whether legally changed or given at birth. Some commenters questioned the circumstances of the booking. One wrote, “Was Teresa a man trying to deceive you, or was Teresa a trans woman? That makes a really big difference in this story.”
Others suggested Teresa made the booking for sexual reasons. “First of all, he gets off on being waxed, and it adds to the excitement for him to force someone to wax him who doesn’t want to. He was hoping to shame you into doing it. Good for you for standing your ground. He is trying to force people to participate in his fetish,” said one.
Regardless, @girllclub has the right to refuse any customer. It’s possible that she doesn’t even know how to do Brazilian waxes for male anatomy. “A male wax is a completely different service than a female. It’s different anatomy. It’s not discriminatory to not offer that service,” added one viewer.
Others also noted it’s not uncommon for men to book under fake names to try to get estheticians to perform services they normally wouldn’t, which makes professionals in the industry extra cautious about taking clients outside their comfort zone. That can explain why @girllclub was immediately unwilling to take on the client, even if she was licensed to perform “manzillians.”
“Just saw another video of a “Chase” booking as “Jeanette” for a Brazilian wax. No. Sir,” wrote one commenter, echoing @girllclub’s apprehension.
