Andrea - did you know they used to recycle Hot Wax by melting it and then sieving it back into the wax pot YUK!!!! Thats why it was more popular because they re-used it.

The reason I have alway stuck (LOL!) to Honey wax is that it has the least amount of additives (colour, fragrance) so least chance of client sensitivity.

I did a brazillian on saturday LOVED It (wot a sick puppy) the reason i loved it was it was so nice and easy !

I was triained in the HOT WAX....faffy flicking the side up to pull off (esp with my nails on)..............so i did it with my cream wax and spatula.

The client lives in london and was used to LONDON PRICES AND LONDON SERVICE.....................i was papping it.

Why o why did i put my certificate on the wall !!

Anyway......It WAS A BREEZE........she was used to PANTS oFF:rolleyes: .....HOW MUCH EASIER WAS THAT !!! WAS SO SO EASY !

No faffing round the knicker line - spose not everyone would be happy with it but i did it in around 10 mins no worries.

Yep, I heard about hot wax being recycled many moons ago. How disgusting! Wonder how they got the hairs out??? My tutor was a Beauty Therapist in the 60s....

I was also taught that the honey wax is the purest.

Does creme wax contain lanolin, correct me if I'm wrong.

I just explain it makes it easier to get the correct shape, which it does gives a better definition. Its difficult to wax hair which is too long and makes it more painful for the client. No one has minded. So much better than using stork scissors like the tutor did on our course - I honestly was in fear of the models life :Scared:

This trimmer Karol... do you just shorten the hairs yes? I take it you leave 1/4 inch left on to wax?
 
Yep Jen - it has 5 different settings so I trim what I am going to wax makes life so much easier as you have a defined line to work to. You can also trim the remaining hair for a neater look.

Its good for overgrown underarm hair as well.

The one I have is really easy to dismantle for cleaning.
