Hi Geeks,
I've been waxing for almost a year now (only trained in strip wax) and have been using 'hive' wax. Started to build up my confidence and clients seem pleased with their wax treatments and I have returning business. Now and then though I do struggle a bit with legs still - the wax doesn't always come off first time?! I'm getting there though!
Anyway, I decided it was time to upgrade my wax, so after a bit of research I chose Berins...... well I tried it out on my hubby's back to begin with and it' soo different to what I'm use to?! Loved that it goes on really thin and it worked really well on my hubby's back. Although it did tend to leave a few wax bits when re-using a strip, but the wax didn't seem to hang around - after applying the after wax jasmine oil any residue melted away... so different to what I'm used to.
So feeling ok about it, today i used it on a client.... oh gosh, fine on the legs but mare on the bikini line, underarms and brows. I just found that loads more hair was left over after removing the strips... it just got embarassing after a while and I ended up plucking loads (from her underarm!!) Arggghh!! I never have this prob usually... I don't want to give up on the wax though, I guess it's probably my lack of experience with it and the fact I've only being waxing a short time.
I plan to learn hot wax soon, but for now I'd really like to perfect strip wax.
Your comments and advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much xxxx
