he he... this is what I do if I want an extra hand.... sometimes I feel the client likes to help so that it takes their mind off the inevitable

When I first stated waxing I used to get all my clients helping me out a little... but I am finding that I don't need as much assistance as in the early days .... a lot of it with me depends on the client.

when i first started i hated bikin waxing i was a very shy person, all you have to remember is to strech skin i strech skin on inner thigh and my client will strech skin on other side over pelvic bone area if ya see what i mean i think the worst part is if you have some one new to it and you have to trim the hair first as if it is to long it will cause bleeding and lots more pain, small sections at a time and i thought that we would all have been trained to put tissue in the nicker line i was. you soon get over the embaresment of it after all you are not doing something that they dont want you to do. just keep going and it will be come like second nature to ya.

I'm totally with KateLisa.......I never get my clients to help, not even when I'm doing mens intimate waxing. I have my own way of stretching the skin from both sides and I hate them helping. Sods law that they'll put their hand in the bloody wax. I'd rather them just lay there and chat to me. xxx

This isnt true hun, it hurts a little bit more due to the density (amount) of the hair not the length. A regular will have far less hair, in my experience they come back with around 30% of what they started with, So it is going to hurt less as there are less hairs being pulled out.

Blood spots are just normal for some people, usually if they have very thick hairs.

Hi hun, you have had some great advise chic. Bikini areas used to frighten me to death before i did intermate waxing, but now those feelings are a thing of the past.
I think the bikini used to scare me, because of the fear of hurting them, bruising them, the wax sticking to the other hairs, trying to get those hairs further down that are worrying u.
I certainly would not change your leaflet in regards to what u offer as bikini waxing as with time u will be amazing at it. As i said last night whilst drinking malibu lol you will be fine i promise and i meant that.
When i qualified eight years ago from college, i used any wax from the whole salers that was on offer. Because i was not aware at the time of the other waxes available. I would get stuck up left right and centre and to be fair hated it and bikini well i would want to run a mile.
People say on here that the wax does not make a difference it is the therapist, well i am sorry guys (can see anouther debate arrising) This really is not true. To be able to do a treatment you yes need the skills and the confidence, but with out beleiving in your product then none of the other will come into play.
Perron Rigot wax opened new doors for me, the strip wax blue oceon went on so thinley and with ease, u could cover half a leg and remove it with out it setting like the other wax, which not only increases your timeings but the over all look after wards was amazing. Also my ladies would say gosh you have not left the wax strip behind, my legs are less red and they feel so much smoother. My technique had not changed, it was my wax, it helped me as a therapist carry out my job more efficiently.( I am telling only the truth here guys)
Now the bikini area with strip wax because my confidence had grown because i loved my product and the results became easier. To the point were i could say to ladies it does not hurt and look at the finish and they were like wow it really did not hurt. Then the hot wax came into play and my ladies were amazed. Honestly i now love wax and everything about it and nothing scares me or embarresses me as i trust my wax and now in my skills and my ladies love the wax which has given me confidence and so it goes on.
U are more than welcome to come and see me hun and i will show u the difference and the results. xxxx

im not being funny but we were always taught that if the hair was longer that this causes more pain, and is harder to remove, i know a bout the density and hair growes less and less with more waxing done i am qulifide and have been doing this for 8 years, but this is what collages and all beauty books teach you about waxing longer hairs, blood spoting as you say is just normal for some people, but longer hair dose make it more likly to blood spot.

Yes, when you are inexperienced this can be true, hence why this is how they teach you at college.

I cant say in my experience i have ever noticed that long hairs spot more or less, i dont get many 'bleeders' anyway.
