We all practised on each other. I think the tutor should have insisted on the bikini for everyone but as only one volunteered the rest chickened out. We all had a little go, poor woman. The bikini was the last thing that was done so by then we had a pretty good idea of how to strip wax, it was mostly to show us set up, positioning of the client etc. She did go through it thoroughly, the demo took about 45 mins. Also, it was only just standard bikini line with strip wax, no intimate bits.
I know there are better courses out there. I have family commitment problems and can't sign up to anything more than 4 days in advance so I just took this opportunity at the last minute as a taster to see if I like waxing.
I'm going to have a little play around with it for a bit (not clients!) and then get myself on a reputable hot wax course.
