Waxing Advice Please

[Claire-Bear]

Hi - I'm a brand new member (however I have enjoyed looking at all the threads over the past few months).
Can someone please give me some advice on waxing please.............I have just started to rent a beauty room at my local hairdressers and last weekend I had a client in for a half leg wax. The hairs on the legs, although the correct length for waxing, were very sparse. What would have been the correct way to proceed............I use a roller wax system, should I have waxed the leg as if there were plenty of hairs or in the really sparse areas only used the 'dot and dab' method (hope you know what I mean). I did a mixture of both techniques and the final result was fine however it did take about 30 mins to complete. I was just uncertain as to whether it was acceptable to cover the area with wax when there was only a couple of hairs to be removed. Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

I would have done the treatment in the normal way.... more experienced geeks may advise differently.
My reason is that I find, if I only wax a small patch on a leg, the skin on that area appears 'fresher' than the skin around it - I think that's a nasty look! So I would go for the 'fresh look' all over.
Hope that made sence!

Yes I would wax in the normal way too, no harm (on the legs) in covering areas without hair (although on other areas this is best avoided) with wax. Hth x

I would do the normal method too.

Nothing wrong with 1/2 an hour.

Normal way.Waxing removes dead skin cells so the skin will be an uneven tone and colour if you dont, especially in the summer if they are tanned.

I agree with all comments so far, wax in the normal way. 30 minutes for 1/2 leg wax isn't too long and most salons I know do allow 30 minute slots for this treatment.

Definatley wax as normal, its actually quicker than trying to find the patches anyway.

Many thanks to you all for your replies - after I'd finished the treatment I was having doubts as to whether I should have just waxed the legs as normal..........I definately will be in the future. Once again thanks to you all. Happy now!!

Hi, I would do normal method and 1/2 hour is fine for a half leg.

Where abouts in N Somerset are you? I'm in Weston.

I have nothing to add to the above really - i would still wax in the normal way.
