    Brow shaping with Lycon/Perron Rigot

    Hey guys! I just wanted to share pictures of my work. I've been waxing for years but just over a year ago thanks to you (esp. Kim Lawless and Jack Dunn) and I really got into eyebrow shaping using hard wax. I used to always be nervous before facial wax but now it's my favorite service. Here you...

    Full arm wax- Lycon cartridges?

    So i was thinking about adding arm wax to our permanent "menu" Right now we only do facial waxing and we are located in one large open space so there is no privacy but arms I guess we can do :) So my question is: is it worth it to invest in cartridges? Right now I use pot/spatula/single use...

    Lower arm wax

    Quick poll: When you was the lower arm with strip wax how do you apply it/pull it? - elbow to wrist all around or - exactly how the hair grows (so kind of sideway on the outside of the arm) TIA Edited to correct: Oh man, it was late when I wrote it. OF COURSE wrist to elbow on the underside part.

    I have a client that likes a soft white (original Brisa Soft White) I know that she would benefit from the new BL system but she is not a fan of the bright white. Has anyone tried/knows if it's OK to use Brisa Soft white? I'm thinking that it might still soak off because the base coat will...

    That's my question ;) I know that we can layer them but I tried today and I mixed couple colors and they bubbled few hours later :(( I added some Mascarade to Rose Bud and some Iced Cappuccino & Iced Coral to Black Pool (that turned out gorgeous, just like Chanel's "Black Pearl") I shook the...
