Removing Hot Wax?

[Passionate]

Im currently training for my NVQ2 in college and we have started using hot wax for the underarm waxing, I have done a few underarm waxes on friends but there always seems to be excess wax left after Im done any ideas how to take it off as I was never thought what to do about this in college? Thanks

If you are having excess wax left then you may be not applying it correctly. Your edges of your strip need to be straight and not 'feathery' otherwise you will leave bits of wax behind. You need to make sure also that you put enough pressure when applying the wax and make sure it is pressed right into the skin.
You can use the removed strip of wax and turn it over and press the shiny side onto the wax and that should remove it. You can also apply some oil like jasmine oil and rub that into the skin and wipe with a normal wax strip(like the paper or cotton ones) and this should remove any residue
