Hi just a few questions

1. Can anyone out there recommend a good paraffin wax heater?

2. Also do you offer it in your mobile service?

3. Can a wax heater double up as a Paraffin wax heater?

Hi D,

I have two, one for hands and one for feet and I got them both in the Jan sale at woolies. They were 20 quid. I'm not sure how easy it would be to offer his as a mobile service. Maybe you could pre heat the wax before you leave so there is less to do when you arrive. I don't think that it would be good idea to use a wax heater as a substitute as you often have to dip clients hand and feet in and it won't really hold that much wax. Not a method I tend to use though. hth xxx

i think its hard to offer paraffin wax when you are mobile.... my heater is a remmington one with aromatherapy wax (smells good) unless you are going to be doing a treatment before the wax so you can let it heat up and then you need to give it time to cool down mine takes about 45 mins to heat up and quite a while too cool down....not sure if its worth it dont want the wax spilling in your car!
unless anyone knows of one thats made for mobile use? it would need to have a good lid on it and a quick heat up time...the lid on mine is not very good think it would leak out
HTH

I got mine brand new with lots of wax from ebay for £30 - you can get them from boots, woolies etc, I dont know how people use them mobile - i would be interested to know xx

Hi Ya

I'm supposed to be working but I'm so bored lol so when someones looking I'm off and when their not I'm back on again.lol

Some people say you can use a waxing heater for paraffin so I thought as I want to do a wax cousre in the new year I thought I'd ask.

I wouldn't be dipping I'd be brushing it on.

I used to do it this way and I found that a. it way to messy and b. I wasted a hell of a lot of wax. Now I use stretchy bandgages that I dip in to thewax wax and then wrap around the chosen area. With this method you can treatment elbow and knees with a lot less hassle. Can even offer it as an extra treatment?

I've not seen any one use them mobile and I suppose its cos of the spilling and heating reason but I thought I'd ask anyways

Has anyone tried any of thoes recipes yet?

Oooh thats a good idea but I guess I need to convince my dad to let me have the building out the back so I can set up at home, if ony you guys could see it its perfect.

the bandages sound like a good idea where do you get them from ? is it less messy this way?

yes i like the idea of this too.....i would like to use it in my facials but we didnt cover it on our course...i think that was gauze of some sort.

Yes guys the badage method is a lot less messy. All you do is dip them in (you may need to cut them down slightly)Let a little of the excess drip off and then wrap and cover with a towel, plasric bag or heated mitt.

For the face you can use gauze , I do paint it on when doing a facial. xx

sounds like a good idea, thats the only bad thing with wax its so messy! i love peeling it off though!
