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’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?

Hi [emoji112] there! Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this as I can’t find an answer anywhere online and all phone lines are busy. When calculating average working hours per week for tax credit purposes, do you divide the total working hours by 52 weeks or by the number of weeks...

[emoji112] hello! I’ve just completed my first year working from home mostly waxing but other treatments too such as manicures, pedicures, gel polish, eyelash, eyebrows, massage etc. As it’s my first full year I have no other months to compare back to from last year. My busiest by far was...

Hi there. I have a 3 storey house and only use the ground floor for business purposes. Do you think it’s reasonable to put a third through for tax relief rather than ‘ per room’. The only part of the ground floor that my clients don’t have access to is the kitchen so it seems simpler just to...

[emoji112] hello! I have previously written about one of my clients skin tearing on the crease line during a Hollywood (she hadn’t previously and has had several waxes from me prior). Today I did her Hollywood again and this time many of her hairs couldn’t be grabbed by the wax. Im wondering if...

[emoji112] hello. Right, I know the importance of trimming excessively long hair especially in the pubic, back and chest area but where else would you trim? I have ladies who have their full arms or forearms waxed and the hair is quite fine and soft. I notice some breakage and can only assume...

Any recommendations? I find many hot waxes start to cool on the stick as I transfer from pot to brow so wondering if there are any that don’t.

Hello! [emoji112] I’ve picked up a tube of Marvelbrow and Developer to try for the first time. I like the idea that there’s no peroxide and the need for patch testing is more or less removed as it’s plant based and works by staining rather than entering the hair shaft as it does with peroxide...

Hi I believe it is good publicity to give donations/vouchers etc to various local fundraising events and willingly do so. However, I am starting to get letters asking me for donations from others who are not local to my business. I work on my own, by myself, from home. I can’t afford to be...

Hi I’m baffled. My client today had her 5th Brazilian with me with no previous problems, except to say she gets ingrown hairs. Black skin with very black curly pubic hair. Today after removing the hot wax from the upper leg crease I was shocked to see free flowing bright red blood. The wax was...

Hi I’m curious to know what temperature everyone uses for strip wax. The reason I ask is because all the strip wax pots stand a little above my wax heater compartment meaning some heat may be lost in the uppermost part of the tub. I’ve found that having it at 80 gives me a nice consistence for...

This is driving me nuts! The only thing I can find is empty reusable 100ml cartridges on an American website called AliExpress. I’ll try to upload an image. But they are out of stock and the only review said the roller part didn’t fit. Don’t look good quality but is the sort of thing I’m looking...

Just curious. When I’ve completed a Brazilian or bikini wax including tummy hair I sometimes get asked to take the top off from across the pubic area, sometimes asked to take it quite far down. The hair of course grows from both sides towards the centre so just wondering how others avoid having...

Just wondering how effective you find the roller wax on the inner thighs? I find they drag even with the wax fully melted at high heat.

Can someone tell me how much a bag of lycon hot wax costs and what size of pack does it come in?

Hi folks. I’ve been up and running for nearly 8 months now working alone. I’ve kept all receipts and invoices and kept records of income/outgoings etc. I’m paying voluntary class 2 NI but starting to wonder if I should as it seems the benefits it provides don’t apply to me so perhaps I...

Hello. I have a black African lady who comes for Brazilian waxing. She’s had it done 3 times now but leaves it longer than 4 weeks in between as she’s busy. But she’s started to get lots of ingrown hairs and what looks like folliculitis as there’s a couple of large lumps with clear liquid and...

Hi guys. I’m getting fed up of hot wax setting in the heater. Every hot wax I’ve tried does the same. The wax is melted all the way through first thing then turned down between 57-60. 60 is a bit hot to use but sometimes I need to turn it up to that between clients just to get the hard stuff...
