Recently, I decided to take the plunge and have my upper and lower legs completely waxed. On a scale of 1-10, I would have to say the pain was along the lines of 'I would rather have a Bikini Wax every week rather than do this ever again.' Within a week, I developed a serious case of ingrown hairs and now, between the bumps and subsequent ingrown removal, my legs are still recovering.
My negative waxing experience could have been prevented if the correct pre and post depilatory products had been used. The majority of my experiences have involved some baby powder, then straight to the wax. While powder can work in certain hot and humid environments, it is essential to use Pre-Depilatory Oil, especially the Cirépil Pre-Depilatory Oil / 8.8 oz.
Cirépil Pre-Depilatory Oil / 8.8 oz. is a Jasmine-based oil that both conditions and protects the skin during depilatory services. It acts as a barrier between the skin and the wax so that only the hair is being pulled, rather than the skin.
Usage:
- Use sparingly on very dry areas of the skin or cold skin prior to waxing.
- Use after waxing procedures as desired.
- Can be used in massage therapy due to its light texture.
- Caution is recommended: over-application will cause the wax not to adhere to the hair.
What it all boils down to is making your client's experience a pleasant one and ensuring that they are experiencing the absolute best service that you can provide. Its always important to remember that not only do happy clients come back, but they also bring friends!
