I have just completed my speed waxing course and I am dying to get stuck in and get some volunteers lined up to practice while I have the techniques in my mind. However, my room isnt even built yet! I was going to buy the hive heaters and the wax etc, but do I really need to have a couch? I havent really decidedd on what couch I want, I keep changing between hydraulic and portable, I am not really sure how much room I am going to have. is there something I can make do with in the time being? any sugestions?
Practicing waxing??

A portable massage bed/couch is doable. xoxo

Honestly - get a second hand one... then re-sell later if you don't need it...
You do NOT want to be bending over people and putting your back out and by the same token your clients won't be wanting to be laid on the floor! It's not a major investment to get a second hand one (try gumtree) and if I was paying someone to wax any part of me I'd expect a couch... I would not be impressed if asked to hop on a sofa or table or lie on the floor... in fact I'd say thanks but no thanks - it would simply be too unprofessional if I was paying anyone.

Seriously you need a couch, portable if mobile. No couch meaning extended insurance if you get any wax on people items etc xoxo
Thanks for the replies girls. You are totally right. I never thought about insurancr not covering it. Off to eBay to find a second hand couch. I've tried gumtree but not many in north east. Also.talking about practicing do u advertise on gumtree asking for volunteers and do u think I should practice for free or a reduced rate? Thanks for the advice x

Reduced rate to cover costs

yes thank you I seen it on Beauty express site, but I also wanted to buy the jasmine oil, the after wax gel , the moisture lotion and the blue lotion. Beauty express only seemed to see the 1litre bottles of the jasmine oil and the blue lotion and the moisture lotion and i couldnt see the after wax gel. I just wanted to buy the latter in a smaller volume. the bottles we used on the course were only about 400ml big. and i remember kim saying it would cost approx £6 and the 1 litre is 3 times that.
thanks x

Yes ur right u can only get the bigger sizes I just decant them into smaller glass bottles with a soap pump top! Looks nicer on my trolley than the big bottles! Was abit pricier but I ordered on a VAT free day to which saved abit and they last forever! Just an idea hun!
