Best paraffin wax heaters for mobile ????

[jimboodee2]

Hi There..

I am currently studing too be nail tech and will be offering paraffin wax with the manicures...

I have looked at so many different heaters... The eggpot I think is quite new so not alot of info on them... But the Hive mini 500cc looks quite good (not sure how long that one takes to heat).... I know the big ones take for ever to heat so they would not be suitable... I used the Hive spray at college which were really good but not really cost effective as it takes about half a cartridge to get a decent coverage...

Would like to know anyones thoughts or advice for the mobile tech doing paraffin.

Thanks everyone

I'm just about to embark on a Paraffin wax course and I am also wondering the same thing. I am mobile too so any advice would be great.

Well this may go some way to helping out although more experienced techs on here may have better advice...

I bought a salon paraffin wax heater just before I finished my VTCT course. Cost me just under fifty pounds.. it wasn't huge so not a problem carrying it around so all good. Until it came to melting the paraffin wax up... it took FOREVER!!!

I bought a small hive one that is for paraffin wax as well as other waxes and has a temperature control on it so that you don't over heat it. It's great because it's got a removable inner container that you can get little lids on so you can have different waxes, tea tree etc. It also has a little plastic lid on the top that fastens (my other one didn't fasten) and it's very compact so very very easy to carry about with you. I love it.. think it cost less than the first one I got but has a guarantee with it. Think it was from Sallys.


Just had a look it's the Hive mini waxer 500cc.... it's perfect IMO
