WAXING TIPS

Pre-Waxing

  • Hair Should be about 1/4 inches long
  • Be sure to sanitize your hands as well as your client’s prior to any service.
  • For sensitive areas, apply Numb Anesthetic Solution 3 to 5 minutes prior to waxing. The eyebrows, upper lip, and bikini areas are the areas where it should be used most often.
  • Clean the skin with Cleanse Pre-Wax Cleanser to remove body oil, make-up, dead skin cells, perspiration and bacteria from the skin. Make sure the skin is dry before continuing.
  • Apply a light coat of Prep Pre-Epilation Oil and blot. The oil will act as a buffer between the skin and the wax.

During Waxing

  • Apply the wax as far down as necessary, making sure to end wax in a hair free area. Follow the direction of hair growth. Working in a small area, as the hair growth pattern indicates, apply the wax with your applicator. Make sure to allow the wax to cover no more than a two-inch area.
  • Pull the strip in the opposite direction, as quickly and as close to the skin as possible.
  • Apply FIRM pressure with your hand immediately after each epilation.
  • Work in small sections only and repeat procedure for each section. Remember that each change in the direction of hair growth requires a separate application.
  • Finish application with Calm Azulene Oil.
