Hi all
Im new to this site so please be kind, and I apologise in advance if my questions have already been answered else where...i cant find them!
I have recently secured a room at a local established holistic therapies clinic who are looking to branch into beauty side. Ive only before specialised in nails (mobile) & the manicure/pedicures go down well. However, it wasnt really enough, so after much research into what the area was missing, I bit the bullet & did a short accredited course in waxing to refresh my knowledge.
So, having now purchased all the set up, and lined up willing models (i will not offer / charge for waxing until I feel FULLY confident - im well aware an 8 hr course & 5 hours of practice isnt enough!!) i just have a couple of questions if you lovelies wouldnt mind answering:
1) I have purchased the hive 1000cc, & options honey & lavender to practice with (special offer - hope to save up enough to use pr by the time im charging!).
Do i sit the actual tub of wax in the container & then that in the machine, or do i have to empty wax from the tub into container - if so, do i melt it in microwave to do this?
2) I have read quite a few posts on here (last 49 pages worth so far) and jasmine oil is mentioned a lot. Do i need to use this as well as my pre-wax? and does it have to be jasmine or is there a substitute?
3) and finally, this is really more just wanting an opinion - I am a larger lady (size 18) I wear glasses, and im in my late 30's. I personally have never had a proffessional wax, or tan etc because i feel embarressed in front of the majority of young, very slim, very attractive beauticians i have met (i know, thats my problem, and im probably just jelous lol!). Now, I always maintain a well groomed, neat appearance, but I am natural, minimal make up etc. Will I loose, or not get, custom because people have a pre-conception of how a beautician should look? It has never been an issue with nails, but waxing is different. Im sorry if this sounds like a really silly question but it is playing on my mind!
Thankyou in advance for any help
