Many trainers and therapists not trained by Kim use the same technique (all fours)..I use all techniques/positions on clients as required as not all clients are comfortable getting on all fours. I adapt my service to the individual. I rarely need to get a client on all fours but very rarely I do...

The roller I find fine for the less hairy but I know one gent said he found the application as painful as the wax removal. It was his first ever wax too so was a bit unfortunate but he showed no signs of pain otherwise I’d have tried hot wax or strip spatula. I also have tubes wax. I have every...

I think I’ll just do a combination of everything. I always find it interesting that people apply wax down the spine as hairs tend to grow inwards towards the spine from the sides, not down the spine. Id expect only the ends of the hairs are being covered by wax and also being removed upwards...

Hello! Just curious to know how you each wax gents backs? I’ve used roller but it’s not so comfortable on men with longer hair. I use some strip wax with spatula too but this takes much longer. I was thinking of using hot wax and interested to know if you feel this would be more comfortable. I...

Are any of you asking regular clients who have been having regular lash and eyebrow tints to have another tint test? I hear some therapists are because a few months have passed. It will be 4 months since my clients had their last tint.

I use a tiny bit of oil under both strip wax and hot wax on eyebrows.

Fixed roller heads are disposed after every client in any case. I use a full roller for full leg wax then it’s empty. I dint use rollers on the face so I guess that’s the only time you’d use the same roller on different clients. I use wax pot for facial waxing. I’d say use disposable roller...

I dint find it takes me any longer than normal to wipe down between clients. I work from home so I always have spaced my clients out more than a salon would. I haven’t added anything to my prices.

I’d just use the visor as required. I wouldn’t use mask too.

I’ve just been told by a client who has to wear face masks with clear windows as her son is deaf so needs to see the mouth. The Deafness society tell them to rub liquid soap into the inside of the mask/shield then buff it in with a dry tissue and that prevents it misting. I’ve just done mine so...

I’ve worn mine and finding when I have a large booking, full leg, under arm, Hollywood wax in one sitting that my visor starts to mist up slightly. I work in a medium sized room with air con and still I have to adjust it now and then to let the air demist it. How are you all getting on?

They are close to the face. No big gap overhang at the bottom or top.

I couldn’t get the link to appear on my phone for some reason but here’s a photo. I found them very easy to remove the adhesive on both sides. One side is clear and you think there’s no film to come off but there is. Just score it with a sharp knife. I found them good. I wore it fir half an hour...

I git mine on Amazon. A pack of 12 I think. They sit close to the forehead. Comfortable enough. I only had it on half an hour though to see if it would steam up. It didn’t.

Even the experts have different opinions so I think you have to do what feels right for you and read all the guidelines etc.

That’s correct. The Guild day no to all facials, eyebrow tints, make up (except lessons) and false lashes.

It does. But the Guild have made no mention of any of that. They have said irrespective of the number of clients. Just it’s not safe. Fortunately I do very few eyebrows and lips. I specialise is intimate waxing but do all the body and massage. I don’t do facials. Lash technicians and make up...

Correct. We are encouraged not too because the nhs etc need them. So our only option is visors and masks and gloves.

And no eye lashes. So no work at all for eyelash technicians. Dentists can go inside mouths with appropriate ppe so I can’t see why eyelash technicians can’t work with appropriate ppe. And as you say, the client too over their mouth.

I’ve emailed them.
