Your salon deserves the best products and equipment. Professional waxing supplies for salon use are the surest way to provide a waxing experience that is both safe and enjoyable, with extra skincare benefits your clients will thank you for. In addition to professional waxing supplies, we also discuss the tools and equipment needed during the waxing process. These tools will make your work more efficient and reduce the risk for clients when dealing with sensitive areas. First, you need to have enough wax products to meet every requirement. Most professional waxes are safe for all skin types, but certain formulations give better results if you’re treating sensitive areas. Other products are more effective when space is tight and greater precision is required. Fortunately, there is something for everyone, especially when you browse Auperwel online catalog.
1. What does it take to successfully wax?
To make waxing easier and smoother, different supplies are required. Depending on your treatment, you may not use all of the supplies listed below in one session, but you should still have each of them on hand at all times in case you need them.
Applicators, wax warmers, etc., are essential to any wax treatment, so you need to take good care of them, sanitize and Sterilize them, and stock plenty of disposable accessories. So without further ado, let’s review everything you need:
1) Wax
No matter how well-prepared you are, no treatment will be effective without high-quality wax. When using a professional body wax, estheticians can remove hair from most parts of the body without tugging at the skin. Salons should always have ample options in terms of soft and hard body waxes to match all types of hair removal treatments.
- Soft Body Wax: Typically used on the legs, arms, and back. Therefore, they are assets that help you achieve a uniform regrowth cycle for all hairs around most of the skin. With the help of a spatula, the soft wax is spread in a thin layer and removed after you press the area with a muslin strip. They’re known for providing gentle exfoliation and, in some cases, leaving a sticky residue that disappears during the wax post-treatment.
- Hard Body Waxes: These are fairly unique and are often the first choice of estheticians when doing facial waxes/treating other sensitive areas. They have a low melting point and do not stick to the skin, resulting in a more comfortable experience for clients with lower pain thresholds. Because they are removed without the help of a strip, hard body waxes can be slightly difficult to master.
2) Applicator
Usually made of wood or metal, the spatula allows you to spread the wax evenly over the skin. The beautician takes a strip of wax from the jar, swirls the wax around it with a spatula, and moves the spatula along the skin until all the wax is loosened and the corners of the layers are well-defined.
If you’re using hard wax, the spatula will also help you create a flap around the edge of the wax layer so you can pull it off later. Wax applicators come in different sizes with rounded or straight sides so the beautician has complete control when handling the wax.
3) Disposable Gloves
You need to wear gloves at all times during treatment, from the moment your client is settled and their skin is exposed. Touching your tools or your client’s skin with bare hands not only puts both parties at risk (the chances of germs and germs spreading are higher when the skin is especially sensitive), but it’s also an instant red flag that will make you Keep your clients vigilant from returning to your salon. Most groomers use latex gloves, but you can also find gloves made of vinyl and nitrile.
4) Waxing Strips
They are essential for any treatment involving soft wax, as I mentioned earlier. It is common for salons to use muslin and non-woven strips, but you can also find strips made of other fabrics and even paper. Waxing strips are also sized to cater to the beautician’s preferences, with different sizes to match different types of treatments, and they can also be made into rolls, which the beautician can cut according to needs.
5) Wax Warmer
A durable wax warmer can save you a lot of time during hair removal treatment. It has additional mechanisms to keep the wax warm for a specific time window and help you avoid messes during the treatment. Some wax warmers will also help you work with different wax products at the same time, adjusting their heating times accordingly for each situation.
When you have a professional wax warmer, the chances of getting the wrong wax consistency are very small, so you can work more comfortably and avoid wasting precious wax in the process.
6) Wax Pot
To melt wax beans, you will need a durable aluminum wax pot. The wax pot is large enough to provide comfort while handling the desired amount of wax. They also come with handles and lids so groomers can easily move them when needed.
7) Pre-Epilation Oils/Powders
These products can come in handy to prep the skin before waxing. They are designed to absorb excess oil and other impurities from the skin, making it easier for the wax to adhere to the hair. They are also a great way to relax your skin.
8) Cold compresses and soothing gels
It is normal for the skin to feel itchy after waxing, and the burning sensation left after wax removal tends to last for minutes or hours, depending on the sensitivity of the skin.
A cold compress can go a long way in helping your client endure any lingering discomfort. Meanwhile, the soothing gel nourishes the skin, maintaining its natural suppleness as it heals. Gels containing aloe vera, chamomile, and other natural ingredients are always a good choice.
9) Antiseptic Cream
To ensure a safe treatment, it is also important to apply an antiseptic cream to the area before and after the wax. Waxing opens the pores and strips the outer layer of the skin.
During the first 24-48 hours after treatment, there is nothing between the hair follicles and any bacteria that could cause an infection, so protecting the skin during treatment is the best way to ensure there are no complications later.
2. Pre-base waxing products guide
Pre-base waxing product preparation before waxing is the key to success! Preparing your skin before waxing has several benefits. Importantly, pre-hair removal care helps minimize discomfort during the procedure and provides optimal hair removal results that can last for weeks!
Before commencing a service, it is important to conduct a thorough visual inspection of the area to be waxed – check for any contraindications, skin breakdown, or signs of inflammation. When a wound or open skin is discovered, it is best to postpone waxing until the skin has completely healed. Moles or cosmetic marks need to be identified so that steps can be taken to protect them during the hair removal process.
When waxing your bikini area, be sure to clean the skin in the area thoroughly, as waxing can make the skin more susceptible to infection. Areas of the body that are naturally warm and moist are more susceptible to bacterial growth and infection. In today’s guide, we’ll discuss the importance of using pre-waxing products.
1) Why are pre-waxed products so important?
- They remove dirt, makeup residue, bacteria, sweat, dust, and other external elements from your skin.
- They moisturize hair follicles, unclog pores, prepare the skin, prevent uneven hair removal, and reduce the risk of infection, rash, redness, and more.
- They can make waxing less painful for clients and make beauticians more efficient.
The skin secretes an oily substance called sebum, which comes from the sebaceous glands in the skin, making the skin waterproof and supple and the hair soft and shiny. These glands are part of the pilosebaceous unit, which consists of hair follicles, hair shafts, and arrector pili muscles (the tiny muscles responsible for causing goosebumps). “In what way does waxing treatment relate to this?” you ask. The oil secreted by the sebaceous glands makes it harder for the wax to adhere to the skin in the area to be waxed and remove all unwanted hair, which can lead to uneven waxing results. When this happens, the therapist is forced to re-wax certain areas, which may cause some of the skin to peel off.
Pre-waxing care – what are the necessary ingredients?
Before Waxing: After checking the hair length, it is essential to cleanse the hair with natural products and antioxidants such as alcohol, menthol, cocaine, and keratin. If the product is rich in menthol, it can provide a pleasant cooling effect, and the pre-waxed antibacterial lotion thoroughly cleanses the skin of dirt, sweat, and dead cells. Skin must be completely dry before contact with wax.
2) Pre-waxed products
Pre-waxed products clean, disinfect, and moisturize the skin before waxing and improve the adhesion of the wax to the hair rather than the skin, ensuring fast and effective hair removal. Pre-hair removal products save products by avoiding modifications, resulting in a faster job. Additionally, they make waxing virtually painless while protecting the skin from irritation and infection.
