Wax on and on: The NJ Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling's attempt to ban bikini waxes—prompted by women claiming infections from the Brazilian waxes—has been dropped. According to the AP, NJ Consumer Affairs Director David Szuchman said he wouldn't support the ban (the Consumer Affairs division oversees the Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling) and suggested that the board instead look at training and safety protocols for spa and salon workers.
