Waxing and pedicure dangers exposed | News - Home
As much as I feel sorry for that poor lady, I feel a little sorry for the salon. Considering that they weren't expecting the news reporters to walk in on them, their waxing station looked pretty clean from the quick glimpse we got. Also, I wonder how the client could see that they double dipped when the wax pot is behind the head of the bed.
Who knows if she left the salon and applied make up with an unwashed brush or old make up. Just saying………….

Well the salon might be across the pond from us here but I really do wish them all the luck in proving that they didn't double dip (if they didn't of course). The owner knew her stuff about not double dipping in her state and after all, we have to support each other don't we as there are enough people slating us and thinking that we're all thicko's. :Kissing:Even though my wax pots are behind my clients it would be obvious if I was double dipping - you can hear the spatulas being binned and a new one being removed from my large pot of spatulas
So I can believe she would know if they were double dipping or not
Having had a BAD infection right between my eyebrows I know how easy it is to get - mine came from a mossy bite of all things! - and no there is no guarantee that it came from the wax - but if they DO double dip then they are giving her every possible weapon to come after them - especially if in that state it's against the law (and it is in some US states).
I didn't like the full frontal attack either but I do think in the main they opened themselves up to something like this happening to them if they did fail to keep things clean and sterilised like they should have done... Especially in the US which is "claim central"...
On the other hand if she's making it up then wait for the libel claim... if there isn't one then it's as good as an admission of guilt...
I hear ya Tinxy bit with respect, this a professional forum, so you're preaching to the converted on here. We are all trained and qualified professionals, so we all know what to do. This isn't about what we should or would do .we already know! This thread is about that particular incident.I heard it as they changed spatulas between clients but she used the same on both eye brows? On the other hand they must have known about the impending law suit and I'm sure as a result they are very aware of the importance of not double dipping
From what I know of the US system then she must have had some reason to launch a law suit as it's not cheap once you get laywers involved - if it's a no win no fee then HE must have strongly believed she had a case too or he wouldn't waste his time on pursuing a case...
This isn't a matter of slating beauty therapists though - it's about educating both clients and therapists. If your therapist double dips - go elsewhere If the salon isn't clean etc then don't get your waxing done there and personally I prefer people to test their wax every treatment... it takes 2 seconds to test it on your arm, yes you should know from the consistency but a double check by putting a small strip on your arm is a good safe guard to have in my view...
Ok...don't shoot me but I'm panicking a bit now. Is this relating to hot wax?
As I'm trained in warm waxing and was taught to use one spatula per client (except where blood spots occur, then we use a new one each time)
Please can someone set me straight as I would hate to put any client at risk !! Xx
