Troubleshooting
Wax is too thick or sticky
Ensure the wax is heated to the correct temperature (40-45°C). Stir gently and allow it to reach a smooth, honey-like consistency. Avoid overheating.
Wax is not adhering to hair properly
Confirm the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions. Ensure the wax is applied in the direction of hair growth and stripped against it. Check that the wax is at the optimal working temperature.
Client experiences excessive redness or irritation
Ensure the skin is properly prepped and always perform a patch test. Apply wax at the correct temperature and remove strips swiftly and parallel to the skin. Follow with a soothing post-wax product.
