Hi everyone, just wondering...is it possible to become a professional waxer as in you just concentrate on waxing as your job. I love it so much, at college I enjoyed it more then anyone else, all the girls seemed to hate it. Aswell as waxing I love doing facials and massage as I find it relaxing to myself aswell as my client. But where was I...so yeah is it possible to be just a waxer????
Short answer: yes (but it's hard work)
Places like Strip in Notting Hill and The Sugar Shop are good examples of this business model, and our very own Kimmi (The Brow Queen) runs a waxing studio in Essex. Over the years I've also moved more and more of my business over to hair removal, and although I also offer other treatments I would say that 90% of my trade comes from waxing.
I would suggest it's a good idea to have a 'back up' treatment to fall back on (your massage skills would be good here) and retail is still important to boost your income.
The thing with waxing is that lots of other salons and mobile therapists in your area are likely to be offering it relatively cheaply alongside other services, and many clients like this convenience of a one-stop shopping experience. To succeed and actually make a living from it, you will therefore need to think how you are going to set yourself apart from this competition.
But... it can be done! :hug:
