Waxing is an essential service for estheticians, but efficiency and client comfort can make or break a business. Speed waxing techniques help maximize productivity while ensuring a smooth, pleasant experience for clients. LYCON Wax has an extensive line of products that will help you to perform a speedy, comfortable wax for all of your clients! Here are some strategies to help you wax more efficiently without sacrificing quality or comfort.
Preparation is Key
Before starting a waxing session, ensure all your waxing spatulas, pre/post products and wax heaters are within reach. Organizing your workspace properly can save valuable time. Some preparation tips include:
- Ensure your heater is at the appropriate temperature and your wax is ready in advance of your waxing services. LYCON Hot Waxes should be a thick honey consistency- temperature 60°C (140°F) and for LYCON Strip Waxes, a temperature of 70-75°C (158-167°F).
- Applying LYCON’s LYCOtane Cleanser prior to all waxing will remove oils and debris for better adhesion.
Mastering Your Wax Application
Applying wax efficiently is a game-changer in speed waxing. Here are some considerations:
- Use a firm, confident hand when spreading the wax to avoid unnecessary reapplication.
- Apply wax in larger sections on less sensitive areas like legs and arms. If performing a Brazilian wax for example, apply a Strip wax on the outer areas of the legs and then switch to a Hard wax for the smaller, more sensitive areas.
- Map out your pattern of work prior to applying the wax strips and make sure not to miss spots or overlap on areas that have been waxed.
Optimize Your Removal Technique
Efficient removal is just as important as the application.
- When applying Hard wax remember to apply against the hair growth and then smooth back down to allow the wax to fully grip the hair.
- Remove the strip or wax quickly and close to the skin rather than pulling outward. Think of an airplane taking off on a runway versus a helicopter going straight up when removing the strips.
Choose High Quality Products
Using high-quality products such as LYCON products can significantly speed up the waxing process. LYCON waxes are designed to pull short, stubborn hair at the root reducing time spent having to go over an area or having to tweeze. In addition, choosing the proper wax for various areas will help speed up time. Consider the below:
- Hard wax is perfect for more sensitive smaller areas, while Strip wax is best for larger areas.
- All of LYCON’s Strip waxes are low-temperature and stay consistent reducing the need for temperature adjustments.
- After the wax, choose a high-quality post waxing product such as LYCON’s Tea Tree Perfect lotion as not only will it remove any residue, but will also calm the skin.
Conclusion
Speed waxing is all about efficiency, technique, and comfort. Ensure to use high-quality products to streamline your services and increase your overall revenue.
