Hey guys,
Thanks for your advice, I read it just before I headed out the door so was fresh in my mind.
Still, things did not go so well
He was a good friend, not a paying customer. He offered to give me more experience. With him having such coarse hair - he was my Everest!
Started with nostril waxing (never hurts and figured it would relax him a little as he was very anxious). Went fantastically.
Then started on lower legs. I could NOT BELIEVE how hard it was to spread the wax with so much hair. I was concerned I didn't have the wax hot enough, but after turning it up a little he said it was too hot - on the point of unbearable.
Is this normal? I was using Berins ease and plastic spatula.
The hair came off pretty clean for the most part. But I would have to say, I would feel uncomfortable sending a paying customer away with how his legs looked at the end. A few broken or stubborn hairs left behind. I felt uncomfortable going over the skin again as he said it hurt quiet a bit towards the end.
What do you do to prevent this happening??? Is it normal or my technique?
Unfortunately I left my clippers at home (I live 3 hours from his place), so couldn't tidy up intimate region first. We only got half way done
He said it hurt too much, and he kept flinching and pulling his knees up and rolling around. It didn't help that he kept smooshing the hot wax through the hairs when he would do this
Or that his brother was filming! Do many clients act this way? Everyone else I've done has had more sparse hair, but his reaction was very deflating
Weirdly, he was very impressed with how his crack wax turned out ! lol
I spoke to him today, and he said he HAS had his arms and back waxed before (ten years ago - I thought it was his first wax) and that he broke out then. He was pleasantly surprised that he hadn't so far, but he had not received any after care advice back then.
Long story short, he needed a break after that much, and couldn't bring himself to finish the job. I have to admit I'm pretty deflated, as I honestly struggled. It took TWO HOURS to do nostril, legs crack and half a crotch! So much for speed waxing LOL
Any advice as to where I may have went wrong and any differences I should expect with someone with such coarse hair (if any) would be appreciated?
Thanks so much for your support ... after an experience like that you really appreciate all of the people helping newbies like me on SG.
