Speed waxing is all about technique; it is when you can lay multiple strips at once to finish a particular waxing service in a shorter amount of time. To provide a quality service, it is important to go over some speed waxing techniques to boost your business. 

PICK YOUR POISON

Select a quality wax that you are comfortable and confident working with. For speed waxing, a formula that has a slightly longer setting time is beneficial. Because you’re going to be laying multiple strips at a time, it’s important that it doesn’t set too quickly – if it does, it’s going to break and crack upon removal because it set for too long. If the formula you’re currently using has a lay and remove setting time, an alternate formula for speed waxing is recommended, especially for larger areas and Brazilian services.
