For those of you using Adam & Eve's Original Sin hot wax, what is it like for Caucasian women's brazilians? I really like their Spank strip wax and tried Angelic but found it a little soft. Does Original Sin have a stronger pull? How quickly does it set up? Still gentle enough on the skin? Thanks

Greetings from Aus :) I've been using the Depileve pine rosin cartridges but with the cooler weather upon us and skins drying out i'm finding the pine rosin starting to grab to the dry skin and not removing easily. Any recommendations for another Depileve wax to switch to? The choices I have...

Hi all, Another evening spent on YouTube searching professional beauty videos and i've been checking out the 7 minute brazilian waxing technique by Stephanie Laynes (smoothskinsupply). Has anyone done her training or are part of her "viewing room"? What are your reviews?? Melx

I read countless threads about hd brows, billion dollar brows etc but are any of these or similar courses available in Australia? A brow course is on my list of courses to do this year but haven't yet found anything as full on as the ones discussed on this forum. Help please fellow Aussies! Xx...

Howdy, Just been having a bit of a look on YouTube today and came across this wax called Wax n Waxing from Natural Way in the US. Natural Way Pro Wax Application Demo - YouTube They seem to sell direct to the general public as well as salons as a lot of the videos i've watched are of them...

Hi Aussie Geeks! I am fully qualified in waxing, including brazilians but I trained nearly 8yrs ago! I'm really wanting to update my training (long overdue) including an eyebrow design and brazilian wax course in Sydney or Newcastle (I'm on the Central Coast but there doesn't seem to be...

Hi geeks, for those who use and/or know about compressors... What psi is suitable for spray tanning? Also are there any other factors that I should be looking at? Do all compressors allow you to switch from day a tanning gun to using a smaller air brush for makeup? Thanks Mel x Sent from my...

I've just found a new supplier has opened up near me offering Arbre wax (i'm in Australia). My wax trainer years ago used Arbre and raved about it so it's always been on my radar. Has anyone used it? What do you think of it? What would you recommend hot wax wise? And how does it rate against...

To all the Lycon lovers, I'm just returning to using Lycon and hot wax after using sugar wax for about a year and strip waxing everything for a couple of years before that, so need some advice. I use Lycojet for eyebrows and facial hair as it's the best I've found for picking up the fine downy...

HI, another question for the tan geeks... I use Solaire 2hr violet based tans (available here in Aus) which have a shelf life of just 1mth once opened. However I can get a few months out of them it's just that the bronzant isn't as dark then starts to change from a real chocolate brown colour...

Recently my tan solution is coming out a little speckally (sorry about the spelling). What would be causing this? Is it just that my gun needs a good deep clean? I rinse it and run water thru it at least weekly (I only do about 5 tans a week). On that topic, what should I use to rinse my gun...

Hi all, Firstly, sorry for the long, unpositive post. I've been out of college for a little over 6yrs now. The first few years I worked in a few salons for someone (though half of that as the only therapist) then for the last few years i've worked for myself from home a couple of days a...

Ok, this is for the serious tan geeks! :D When it comes to spray tan base colours how do you work out which colour base is good for which skin type/colour? I had always worked with green base tans and on my fair skin they always seemed a bit golden/orangy. I then found a violet base tan...

Hello fellow Aussies, and Kiwi's and those that use Aussie brand HOT waxes :) I have been using strip wax (mainly Caron Strawberry Deluxe) for all my waxing for a number of years now - facial and brazilians included. I did train in hot wax but after working in a salon which had me in using...

Hi, I missed out on the expo this year and checking out Caron's new powder wax Masqua. Has anyone given this a go? What are your thoughts??

Good evening all, Question, do you promote which spray tan solution you use in your salon? Recently i've had a new client (actually one of the mums from my new mothers group) come for a spraytan. She loved it, she's a tanaholic and said she usually gets sprayed weekly over summer especially...

Hello! I'm due for my 2nd bub in a couple of months and am trying to think up ideas for increasing income on basic services that i can do whilst I have my baby sitting in a rocker in the corner of the room in my home salon. I'm planning on ditching facials for a while and stick to more...
