    New to mobile waxing - equipment

    I found it really tricky to avoid wax spilling out whilst still warm from waxing when traveling from place to place, especially when you've just refilled your wax! I found on here a lot of geeks use cling film for this on their heaters to stop it from spilling :)

    Professional Beauty Systems black tint problems, help

    I'd recommend refectocil as for me it lasts longer than other tints, they do black and also blue black! I do hate the blue black though x

    Waxing young girls eyebrows?

    The insurance check is paramount and as for if it will make the hair growth worse I don't think so! As long as it's only the middle, at such a young age I wouldn't touch the rest unless it's the strays that will never be part of her shape

    Makeup trials-is it just me?

    Aw don't say that! You have been doing it for a long time so you are obviously good at it. Young clients these days do like dramatic eyes brows and lips and strong contour and highlighting seems to be the thing.

    Makeup trials-is it just me?

    I wouldn't get yourself down about it some people are just hard to please especially when they have no idea how they want to look. I've found always try and ask them to bring photos of what kind of look they want to go for so atleast you know you've only done what they have asked for! :)

    How do you stop pimples after threading/waxing?

    It doesn't sting that much, more of a tingle or some people feel nothing. I don't feel anything when I use it! I used to use it on everyone but now only use i on people that need it so it doesn't go to waste :)
