I use a hard wax which is different from strip wax. The wax is applied thickly with no cloth
or paper strips. The wax then hardens when it cools allowing for easy removal with out the aid of strips or cloths.
Cleanliness and sanitation are my first priority. The treatment room is cleaned and sanitized between clients to avoid cross contamination.
I never use the same wax source or wood spatulas on more than one client. This avoids contamination
and reassures my commitment of infection control. My waxing services are among the best in the area.
In my waxing method I will test a small area of skin with the wax to ensure the temperature is
correct. I warm up the wax to the right temperature to allow it to spread easily over your skin in the direction of the
hair growth. Your hair is covered with the wax which then cools and grasps the hair. Then in a second I pull off the
strip like a band aid removing the wax and the hair with it. I remove any remaining wax residue with a wax remover,
if appropriate. I apply a lotion or gel to alleviate some of the redness associated with waxing. Your skin should be
back to normal in anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours.
I have specialized products which help manage ingrown hair inflammation. Hair waxing can cause your skin to sting and
I find applying soothing lotion to be helpful afterwards. Some people find their skin may react with redness and bumps
which typically disappear after a few hours. A simple way to greatly minimize the discomfort is to press hard on the
skin right after the waxing strip is pulled off. Additionally you may wish to apply ice over the waxed area to help
reduce the risk of swelling and skin irritation.
I do
not recommend waxing for clients with varicose veins as waxing could exacerbate the valve problem. Users of Retin
A and Retisol A and Differin should discontinue use three days prior to waxing to reduce post treatment inflammation. Waxing should
not be done on people with psoriasis, eczema or on skin that is irritated, chapped or sunburned.
People who are inexperienced with waxing often find trying to do it on their own at home is messy slow
and difficult. They usually end up breaking the hair at the surface instead of removing the entire hair follicle.
Hair grows back quickly if its only broken.
Generally most people find that wax treatment performed by a trained and experience practitioner
usually results in less pain, complete hair removal and find satisfaction with soft smooth skin results and coordinated
hair cycling.
