Hi Guys! 
I was wondering if you could give me some advise? - My Client yesterday had her brows waxed (by me), as she's done many times before. I used warm wax using strips as usual, the same wax as we always do, i tested the temperature on myself and it was fine, she said the temperature was fine aswel. Also applied soothing aloe vera gel after the wax and all was well. But she came in today saying that her brows, especailly the skin under her brows still feels really tender and sore. after examining it, i didnt find any nics or cuts or brusies, but it did look very slightly red and very slightly swollen, not hugley swollen or red but still. So I gave her some Aloe Vera Gel and Gauze Strips that i told her to use as a cold compress on her brows to help with the swelling and tenderness. I explained not to rub them, no make-up, perfumed lotions, excessive sweating etc.
Is there any other advise you would give and can you think why she would feel this extra tenderness the day after??
She's never had a proplem before and we did the same procedure as always.
I asked her if she was on any differnet medication and she said no, nothing different at all.
She did say that she had her brows waxed on holiday but wasn't pleased with them and they used the hot wax without strip and was really srcapping at her brows to get it of, but that was in April and plus it was'nt as tender of sore as this afterwards and she hasn't touched her brows since.
I keep thinking if i did something different- like maybe i didnt strecth the skin enough but i always make a point to do this.
Any advise would be greatly appreciate guys as I feel a little worried and she was so nice about aswel!
Thanks and have a great day!!
