As pleasurable experiences go, bikini waxing is up there with root canals and dressing up as a meringue when roped into bridesmaid duties. So the person you go to has got to be quick, no-nonsense and super effective. As the first woman to have brought the Brazilian wax to London, Otylia Roberts is the woman for me. Not only does she get to business briskly, you can't help but talk to her. Before I know it I'm talking to her about my relationship, career and everything else in life.

The beauty is though, that the waxing is done in no time, the results are flawless and it's all done and I'm only halfway through talking about my childhood.
