I got my back waxed today - lucky me...

Yep. And it wasn't too bad at all. The pain was much less intense then what I remembered.

I guess the hability (and experience) of the person doing the job counts as well.

There was a tread recently about shaving and waxing. Well after getting it done myself, I believe that having your back waxed is worth it if you don't have someone to shave it for you every week.

How long does it last you?

I don't know. I'll have to wait and see. This will vary from one individual to another I would guess. The more hair you have and the thicker it is the faster it will grow back.

I did not have a lot of back hair at all and it was not thick. I think it can last for 8 weeks or so. I am not looking for the clean shaved look either, just the "clean not hairy look"

Disadvantage of waxing over shaving is that hair has to grow back to a certain length before you can wax again. But as long as your goal is "clean not hairy," versus the cue-ball look, that's no problem.

Congrats. As my Hell's Angels den mother used to say, "You bust your cherry on something every day."

I have this small patch of hair that grows on my upper back, below my traps. My wife waxes it for me and the hair stays gone for about 2+ months. There isn't much hair though...
