Wax sticking to brows and really difficult to remove

[Sabrina29]

Hi,

I have recently had wax sticking to brows and it has been really difficult to remove. I tried removing the strip in the opposite direction and re-applying more wax, after a little persistence the wax came off. I just want to know why this has suddenly started happening and how to avoid in future. I am using strip wax, it is the same wax i have always used on the same clients. Could his be a change in the temperature outside, weather being warmer , therefore client sweating and wax not adhering? Really, really want to avoid this happening again. I am aware this happens if the client is cold or the skin is dry however the was not the case. P.s I did one client and this happened then proceedied to the next client and it was totally fine?

Hi, if the client's skins cold it can cause the wax to harden so usually you rub the wax strip a bit more to generate more heat and if the client is warm it can leave a sticky residue more so than normal. Did you apply the wax thinly enough onto the skin?

If it was on a less sensitive area removing the wax sightly slower can get the hardened wax away, for the eyebrows your better just removing it with after wax to avoid any irritation.

Just to ad to Vitality. This is where you can end up grazing your client. Although going over a tougher area such as lover legs if fine to go over more that once, you really need to be careful on the brows. Make sure that you stretch the skin. xx

Thanks for replies, the clients skin was fairly warm as it was a warm day. I did persist with removing it with the strip , hopefully no skin damage has occurred. I applied the wax in my usual way? I seemed thin enough. Thanks again.
