LOWER ARM WAXING WITH STRIP WAX
Your client can be sitting, laying or standing it doesnt matter.
Cleanse the arm and apply a little oil
Take your clients hand and stretch their arm straight out so that theres and arms distance between you.
Holding their hand, turn their arm out the side so that their thumb is on top and pointing at you. Youll note that the hair tend to grow straight down on this part onto the hand.
Take some strip wax and give one long swipe of wax from the crease of the elbow right down onto just above the thumb. Take a strip and bracing the arm from underneath, remove the wax and hair quickly without stopping from the hand up to the crease of the elbow in a straight line.
Now bend your clients arm up towards the ceiling so that youre now looking at the underside from the elbow up to the little finger. Take your wax and this time swipe it from the wrist towards the elbow as it tends to grow upwards on this part.
Take a strip and remove from the elbow downwards to the wrist.
So now youre left with the hair that grows around the arm. Dont complicate things by trying to apply the wax around the arm. Hold the arm out straight again and swipe the wax downwards from the crease of the elbow down onto the hand.
HOWEVER!!!!! You dont remove the hair upwards as youll break it. Brace the arm from underneath as you wont have hair or wax there now as youve already removed it.
Take a strip and remove the hair from the side of the lower arm in the opposite direction that its growing. Do it just up to the long bone in the forearm. Youll still be bracing the arm from underneath.
Then youll do exactly the same on the remaining strip of hair on the forearm (the fleshy part), making sure that you remove the hair in the opposite direction that it grows.
Finish off the hands and check over to be thorough.
When youre done, apply a good amount of oil and rub it into the entire lower arm and hands so that its not sticky.
TIP: With strip wax, it doesnt matter which direction that you apply it in but you MUST make a mental note of the way that it's growing so that you can remove it in the opposite direction and pull the strip flat and not upwards.
