Hello
I did an armpit wax on my sister in law yesterday afternoon. She said she hadn't shaved for a week and this was her first armpit wax. I use strip wax (as taught in college - I have only just qualified. BUT have done plenty of arm pit waxing practice before hand with great results.)
Anyway.. The hairs were very stubborn and only half- 3/4 of them would come out of each arm pit. So I decided to tweezer the rest of the hairs out. I covered them in after wax lotion and oil. And she stayed for atleast 2 hours after while her and her mum had Shellac pedicures done.
She said the armpits were abit sore but not too sore, they werent red. And she was happy when she left. I gave her all the aftercare advice. Such as avoid heat like hot baths/ showers, don't wear tight clothing etc.
She's just rang me up saying they are really sore and bright red. So I told her to apply some oil and bepanthan. To try and calm the redness down. She said they were sore last night but have got worse today. She works in a bakery, wearing bakery overall/tunics. She's been at work from 8-4 wearing this tunic and I think thats the cause of the soreness and redness as it would rub against the newly waxed armpits? What do you all think?
Also what could be the reason for the hairs not all coming out in the first place? Could they have been too short? Should I have tweezered the rest of the hairs?
I had done a full leg and bikini wax 15minutes before her just fine. So it shouldn't be anything to do with my wax temperature.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My confidence has been knocked abit as this is one of my first "complaints", if you can call it that.
Thank you and sorry for the long post.
