Waxing has gone through a number of changes and advancements over the years in an effort to make a once very uncomfortable service into a much more comfortable one. It continues to grow in its popularity as a reliable, quick, and efficient means of hair removal. Waxing also yields high margins, making it a profitable spa service and one that builds a loyal clientele by requiring clients to return every four to six weeks. Ensuring that clients are being offered the best possible experience, time and time again, means maintaining a consistent waxing protocol from the moment the client walks through the door to the time that they leave. There are a number of key factors that contribute, such as friendly and welcoming front desk staff, explaining the products used during the service, and offering suggestions on take home products that help clients maintain skin between visits. There are numerous pre- and post-waxing products offered today which help professionals offer a fast, effective, and minimally painful wax. The most basic waxing system includes a pre- cleanse, a pre-waxing oil, and an after-care product to further soothe the skin, as well as treat any conditions such as ingrown hairs. When Read More

Red, painful, unsightly bumps – for some clients, hair removal and folliculitis are synonymous. Learning about the very common condition and taking simple, game-changing precautions in pre- and post-treatment care can not only improve client satisfaction, it can garner trust, raise client expectations, and set the spa as a standard when it comes to hair removal. Folliculitis is a very common skin condition that can develop anywhere that there are hair follicles present on the body. The single most common form of folliculitis is acne. Common sites for folliculitis to appear are the face, head, and neck, however, it can also appear on the back, buttocks, groin, and thighs. Folliculitis often manifests as little red bumps that can look like tiny comedones. These appear like a skin rash, but it is actually an inflamed hair follicle with some type of bacterial or fungal infection present. Blisters that are filled with pus may also be apparent. There are even instances where the presenting blisters will open and a crust will form. Read More

Body sugaring has been a staple of the beauty and skin care industries for a long time; it originated as an ancient Egyptian method of hair removal. As time has evolved, so, too, has sugaring. The professional technique that revolutionized the way sugaring is performed arrived on the market 25 years ago and has been one of the most sought-after hair removal techniques ever since.
