Hi
I am just starting up in own studio and am wondering what type of wax to use. I currently have a traditional wax pot but was wondering on the benefits -or not!!- of phd waxing. Any info please?! Is it easier to use? Feel im a bit slow with traditional method would phd be quicker? Is it expensive to run re wax etc? Any info appreciated!
Thanks
Carol

Hi hun, nice to meet some one new, u will love this forum as there is so many experienced people on hand to help.
Could u do me a favour hun and fill in your profile, i no it states u are a skin geek. But to help u will need to no what qualifications u have and what products you are currently trained in. That way we will be able to help so much more.

In regards to which system to use again this depends on your qualifictions and what sort of area u are hopeing to move in to. There are so many excellent waxing products on the market, my favourite are berins and perron rigot. Will go into more detail when no a little more about u and what u are hopeing for from your salonxx

I was slow with pot method waxing and took on clean and easy, which I hated. I ditched that system and bought the Australian bodycare system and hated that too. In the mean time I got quicker at waxing and now can do a half leg wax in 15 minutes or less.

I bought the PHD Sytem only yesterday because I am after something more hygienic than say pot waxing.

I am not too impressed yet, as I bought the Berins kit too and I am finding that much better.

I suppose with everything its practice so I am going to keep at it until I have cracked it.

I use the Clean and Easy system and I love it!
I use their wax for sensitive skin as I found that their honey wax set too quickly, and cooled down far quicker than the other ones in the range. The one downside to it is that it's a bit of an arse when you're doing a full leg and the cartridges are only half full. They nearly always seem to run out just when you don't need them to! I've got round this now by making sure that the cartridges are always almost full, by decanting the half empty ones into the other cartridges. Does that make sense?!
I buy the cartridges in bulk boxes of 12 or so which works out much cheaper than the boxes of 3.

The most economical system to use is Pot and Spatula, but this takes more practice to perfect and get your speed up.

I used to use PhD but have now switched to mostly a wax Pot, but I also have a single handhelp Hive roller heater - its great for legs.

I use the phd system and love it!!!

The most important thing you can do is get training and get skilled with whatever brand you buy. Each brand works, there are things we love about certain products, but they all work. The price of the product also does not matter than much, even if you buy a more expensive wax, it doesn't end up that much more expensive per service. Practice and training is the key.
