Tip-Top Tips offer two different
types of wax treatments to our clients, hot wax and strip wax. The type you
choose will depend on your preference, the area you are having waxed and how it
suits your skin. I will be happy to discuss the options available to help you
choose the most suitable for you.
HOT WAX:
This wax consists of beeswax and resin and is melted to a thicker consistency
than warm wax, When applied to the skin it coats the hair with a thick layer and
hardens around the hair to grip it tightly. Once dry, the wax is flipped up at
the corner and pulled off quickly by the therapist. Many people find hot wax
less painful than strip wax as the heat allows the pores to open so hair is
removed more easily and it is the less sticky option more able to remove shorter
hair than warm, strip wax.
STRIP (WARM) WAX:
This is the most popular method of waxing. It consists of resin, paraffin wax,
glucose syrup and honey. Warm wax is smoothed onto the skin in a thin layer and
immediately covered with a fabric or paper strip which is pressed/rubbed onto
the waxed area before being removed in a quick swipe. Strip waxing is quicker
than hot wax and larger areas can be waxed at one go.
Benefits of salon waxing
Will help keep skin looking naturally smooth
Eliminates stubble growth
Waxing lasts 4-6 weeks - compare that to shaving which can last just a day or
two
Hairs become sparse over time
Hairs become finer and weaker
Slows down hair growth
WAXING TOP TIPS:
Many regulars recommend taking a couple of regular painkillers in order to help
desensitise the skin, although as the pain is external rather than internal some
therapists aren’t convinced this works.
As our pain threshold is at its lowest during menstruation, it’s best to avoid
this time when booking your wax. Lack of sleep and excessive alcohol the night
before can lead to more pain as well.
Make sure that the area to be waxed is clean and has no broken skin, scratches
or bruising.
Your hair should be around ½ inch long in order for the wax to be able to grip
sufficiently.
