Beginner at waxing: Hive Duo heater

[nina.h]

I'm beginning to collect bits and pieces in order to start working as a mobile therapist after I have completed my Level 2 qualification this summer. I'm keen to offer waxing services and so have been looking at heaters. I'm aware Hive make good ones but was wondering weather it is worth paying a little extra for the duo heater or to just stick with a single heater? Wanted to know the benefits of the duo heater and any good/bad experiences with it?

Thanks in advance, can't wait to hear back

I personally have 2 separate heaters. I chose this for 2 reasons - Firstly if one of the heaters stops working I only have to replace that one rather than both, secondly if a client is having a waxing service that only required one type of wax then I only have to take that heater with me. This is personal preference & I am sure others work well with a duo heater.

Hi could you tell me if the lid to this heater is secure as I've brought this same one but the 3 catches don't seem to be locking into place properly so lid isn't very secure. One catch seems to lock but the others don't so one side I can sort of lift up. I sent it back but the replacement is the same. Not sure if it should be like that or I've got from a faulty batch. Any info would be great.

Thanks

Yes it is secure - clicks on and then twists shut if that makes sense. Sounds like the lid is not fitting properly on yours.
