Strip Wax
Strip wax is one of the most commonly used waxes in the professional beauty industry. This type of wax consists of a thin layer of wax that you apply to the skin in strips and pull off. Waxers generally use it for larger areas, such as legs or arms, and it can be less painful than other types of wax.
Hot Wax
Hot wax melts at a higher temperature than strip wax, making it perfect for use on more sensitive areas, such as the bikini line. You apply it directly to the skin in a thick layer and quickly remove it once it cools down.
Hard Wax
Hard wax is a more specialized type of wax that adheres only to the hair, not the skin. This makes it an ideal choice for those with very sensitive skin or fine hair, as it’s less likely to cause irritation.
Soft Wax
Soft wax is similar to hard wax in that both are simple, inexpensive hair removal options suitable for home and professional use. However, there are a few differences between hard and soft wax.
Soft wax is a thinner, more pliable type of wax that you can use for large areas, like legs. It works by sticking to both the skin and the hair (unlike hard wax, which sticks only to the hair), making it easier to remove larger amounts of hair in one go.
Sugaring
Sugaring is a natural waxing method that uses sugar, lemon, and water to create a paste that you then apply to the skin with a cloth strip. The paste pulls off the hair from its root, making the results last longer than other types of waxing.
Cream Wax
Cream wax is a gentler type of wax often used on the face and other sensitive areas. It has a creamy consistency, which makes it comfortable to apply and remove, leaving skin feeling smooth and soft after use.
There are a number of different waxes available for hair removal that you can use to give clients the best experience possible. It’s important to understand the unique properties and benefits of each wax type to make an informed decision when selecting the right wax for your client. With this knowledge, you can provide a professional waxing experience tailored to your client’s needs.
