paraffin wax

[MINKUS]

i have a lady coming tomorrow for a manicure and pedicure she always tips me really well.

I usually do a creative spa mani and pedi but i thought i would offer a little treat for a change ...by way of a paraffin wax.

So.....as i will be sanitising her hands and feet and soaking first, i am assuming i am ok to dip straight into the paraffin bath.

I MUCH prefer to do this that the brush on method as you get better coverage (or i do !)

However, the wax i find is REAL hot even though i turn it from melt...to warm for plenty of time b4 i dip.

ANyway what i want to know is...how many time should you dip? i am thinking 2 or 3 ...how long should i leave it on for best results and .....should i chuck away what i peel off which is what i normally do or can it be reused (please dont shout at me :cry: ).

ANy top tips for paraffin wax proceedure would be appreciated !!

thanks

pmsl, now there's a nice thought

have you tried the strips that you can dip into the wax rather than dipping the clients foot in. They look like fabric wax strips that you dip into the paraffin wax and then mould it around the clients foot.

I've seen them in salons direct catalogue - thought they'd be much better x

I also use a hydration mask instead of paraffin these day's as I find all my clients are amazed with the results.

apply hydration mask (even coverage over the whole of the foot) leave 5-10 mins and then rinse with warm water NO SOAP... wait till they've dried and the heels etc feel fantastic and it feels like a babies bum x

you could try the wax strips (fabric) instead to see how you get on, coz i'm sure that's all they are x

where do i get the hydration mask from matey?

thanks

 

[angelxdevil]

do you have a sally's or anything near you?

buy the strictly professional hydration mask apply with a spatula and then leave a nice layer (not too thick but thick enough if that makes sense) x

 

[angelxdevil]

clients like the smell too. I was introduced to hydration mask as a holistic therapist but since becoming a beauty therapist I use it in my luxury manicures and pedicures and clients think it's much much better x

thanks for that hun!
