I also buy from Beauticians and I buy the Silk and satin waxes. That is the only wax I haven't bought yet, the reason being is that I believe it is not for coarse hair. Please correct me if I'm wrong though. For underarms and bikini areas I like to use hard waxes, I realy like the one from Silk and Satin which is the cherry hard wax.
The application that I like goes:
1)Use pre-cleanser, dry area
2)Use a little bit of the after wax oil, sparingly.
3)Apply the wax in direction of hair growth, thicker at the end to pull from.
4)Cool (I use a disposable cellulose sponge in cool water to cool the wax faster)
5)Hold skin and pull in opposite direction and apply pressure with cool sponge.
6)Apply Post waxing cream.
This wax is very good and excellent results.
Hope this helped.
