    Waxing and nails questions

    Beg to disagree... but you can. It may not be AS speedy as using the massive ones, however it is possible to use the same principles, but I really really wouldn't put anything back in my wax pot that has touched skin. This is based on my own life experiences when it comes to bacteria control and...

    Waxing and nails questions

    Double dipping???? I know that Lori Nestori likes her metal spatulas/non disposable ones - but even she now has to use several as the laws have changed in her state meaning that double dipping is not allowed - of course you can clean them and sterilise them and then use again but that all...

    Waxing gone wrong

    I heard it as they changed spatulas between clients but she used the same on both eye brows? On the other hand they must have known about the impending law suit and I'm sure as a result they are very aware of the importance of not double dipping :) From what I know of the US system then she...

    Hot wax using Rica?

    If the wax breaks it's either on too thin or it's been left to set too long - I'm not familiar with that wax but I know some of the cheaper brands WILL break like that if not removed at just the right time - you may find that Perron Rigot and Berins (and I believe Lycon but I have never tried...

    Nightmare wax

    LOL if you want to know how she waxes all the "bits" there is a DVD doing the rounds I think... that or you can buy the new one (by Lori) from Zozo (or google Berins Wax... it's on there :) ) I've done a review for them and have to say they're not cheap but I think they're really good for...

    Waxing gone wrong

    Even though my wax pots are behind my clients it would be obvious if I was double dipping - you can hear the spatulas being binned and a new one being removed from my large pot of spatulas :) So I can believe she would know if they were double dipping or not :) Having had a BAD infection...

    Warm wax-not hurting!

    If you haven't used it on the face then why not book in to do a day with the Perron Rigot crew or depending on where you are then Zo zo on here is the Berins rep in the UK and is a qualified trainer too :) A refresher shouldn't be as much as a complete training course I'd think :) And it would...

    Non strip wax for legs-cost effective?

    Yes you could use non-strip on legs but personally I don't think you will find it cost effective... not only will it take a LOT longer, it's also more expensive to use non-strip on an area compared to strip. I'd also think it's probably not as effective on areas like legs as strip wax... Unless...

    Waxing and nails questions

    Don't forget if you want to use metal spatulas you will need a lot of them as you can't put them back in the wax once you have used them... I think you can get them on Amazon but don't quote me - I personally prefer my disposable spatulas that I can just throw away... :)

    Nightmare wax

    I'm going to guess you don't do a lot mens legs then? :) As far as speed - practise is your friend :) When you put your wax on do you put on one line and then remove or do you speed wax? If you don't know what I mean then look up Lori Nestore on YouTube - she has a half leg speed wax video...

    Waxing gone wrong

    And that I guess is the extreme reasons for why I ALWAYS test wax on myself before EVERY client and why I never double dip (and why gloves are a good idea! Even when you don't wear gloves you should at least make sure you have clean hands and use antibacterial gel...) I don't care who calls...

    Help waxing after facial

    Check with your insurer... :) And if your employer (assuming you don't work for yourself if you have been given a warning) says not to do waxing with a facial then you need to follow their instruction. Sorry.

    Two waxes-one heater- how do I use both?

    2 heaters or a heater and a set of rollers... I can't see how you can do it with only 1 heater no matter how many liners you have! Sorry. And wouldn't get a double heater - if one of them break you'd be having to buy another single unless you wanted to replace the whole thing and then you'd be...

    Waxing before/after spray tanning

    If you must then wax first and tan after - try to wait until any redness has gone from the brows and then clean the eyebrows carefully with prewax cleanser to remove any oil etc - let dry and then tan... Personally I'd tell her to deal with the pain of tweezers as she'd be more likely to get a...

    Intimate waxing, hot wax?

    It's spelt Axiom - see above LOL :)

    Intimate waxing, hot wax?

    Have you had a look on Kim Lawless's page and Axioms page? They have people who are trained by them listed on them I think and I can't believe anyone trained by either would use warm :)

    What to call an anal wax?

    Buttock cheeks and buttock crack... ;) If you feel nosey have a look on my webpage - I'd describe all my wax treatments so there is no confusion :)

    Leg wax

    Do you normally have any problems with Ease? Are you sure your wax was at the right temp? If their place was much cooler than your usual location then you need to take that into account with the heater setting... Ingrown hairs are not something you can affect with your wax on the day - you...

    Spray tanning men

    If men feel comfortable with you then they'll travel quite far - I have a client that comes 40 miles for his wax and another who pays me £20 for travelling to him to do either a tan or a wax depending - he struggled finding anyone local that would tan him and he felt so at ease after the first...
