No Scream Cream?

[redsadie]

Hi everyone

Has anyone used this product prior to waxing and does it do what it says on the tin, so to speak? Is there anything available locally that I could buy instead, before I make my first order with Couture? I am going on my tanning training next Sunday and my waxing training the following Tuesday so would like something I can buy prior to my waxing training.

Thanks in advance :hug:

Does it do what it says on the tin? Yes. You cn buy an individual tube online - quick delivery.

In terms of retailing it, its very expensive and you need to be able to retail it to a client prior to a treatment ideally. You can get products from a pharmacy that may be as good, and are definately cheaper - EMLA cream has been discussed on here before and is just over £3 a tube.

Thanks for that Mat

The 'no scream cream' does seem expensive so I'll take a look in my chemist tomorrow. It'll be ok for bikini line I should imagine?

hi there
I must admit hun I have not used it so can't help you there but if you do decide to use it I will be interested to get some feedback from you, let me know what you think

I personally am alwaysver cautious of these creams as whilst they can reduce initial pain, they can sensitise the skin so the waxing can irritate it more in the long run. I definitely wouldn't use on anyone who has sensitive skin.

We had to EMLA and Ametop (another version) on my daughter for a while for medical reasons, but many hospitals are now recommnding that its not used if not needed for this very reason.

I just stick with plain old oil and my clients often remark on how much less that hurts than they thought it would. And the skin calms down nice and quickly too.

Good point hun

The reason I ask is that I have a lady booked in for a bikini wax the day after my wax training, she's never had one before so I thought it might alleviate the obvious anxiety she has about having her bikini done. Do you think I should just use the oil then, or should I just give har a placebo cream :twisted: and see what happens?! (I'm joking, I'd never do that!)

Thanks

hi hun, yes i have used and sell no scream cream , it is good and sells well, as yet i have had no adverse reactions to it, but as for your client i would try without first as you'll find most people have a better pain threshold than they expect especially with the use of the oil !, plus if the client does find it too painful you then have a perfect sale of your no scream cream for the next treatment. hope this helps and good luck, starting out is always exciting x:lol:
