What's so special about the wax you choose to use??

[collin]

A little bit of an open question here but from reading another recent thread....a question aimed at ALL waxers NO MATTER which brand you use.

Lets see

1) What is it about the wax you choose to use that in your opinion works for you I.E price,availability,the wax itself is ideal for your specific treatments,the supplier,etc etc

2) do you use more than one brand and pick the best elements from different brands and if so why?

Interesting one! I currently use four waxes, here they are and the reasons why (going from left to right on the heaters):

Perron Riggot Escential Rose
Nice non-strip wax, would prefer it if it wasn't rose fragranced but it has a nice creamy texture and sets quickly when doing warmer areas of the body (crack, perrineum etc).

Perron Rigot Cerepil Homme
Sparkly wax! Very nice non-strip wax, I used Euroblonde for a long time but i've just tried a bag of this and really like it. It looks a lovely dark green / blue colour with a glittery element to it and the marine frangrance is very nice. And this is sold / targetted as a Male wax ... since I only do guys thats what I will market on, something else that sets me apart.

Hive Wax 4 Men
This is my day to day strip wax, nice black colour, again nice masculine smell and it works well for me. My only complaint (and believe me the girls at Hive are fedup of me going on about it) is that this is the same basic formular (except colour and fragrance) to their Options Tea Tree but unlike that they won't supply it on the same 3 for 2 offer! So I am actually spending more to get the wax I want. I'll keep on at them about it!

Again this is a male branded wax and my guys like that - they prefer it to the Tea Tree.

Salon System Roller Wax / Wax 4 Men Roller
I've used the SS roller warm quite a bit, and am trying the Wax 4 Men to see how that goes. Only really use my rollers for doing the legs ... god I hate leg waxes!

I do have one tin of Perron Riggot Cristal Ocean Strip Wax for those who have a particularly allergy or sensitivity that I use on request. Incidentally I tried the Hive Wax 4 Men Hot Film Wax ... didn't get on at all well with that - too brittle and doesn't have the slight stickyness to the top side that is so useful.

as with any products the best are the ones that work best for you and your clients, I tend to use Hive brazillian hot film wax ( the Cream coloured one ) for intimate waxing, i like this better than the black one they do especially for men, I have tried both, for other areas of the body i use mostly Strictly professional Luxury warm wax, i find it spreads nice and evenly and gives good results even if the guy has thick course hair, I still look out for new products coming on the market and like to keep an open mind on these, one thing though what do folks use after they have done a waxing, I cant make my mind up with is better an after wax oil or lotion? what do others think?
