How do we choose which wax to use on certain parts of the body?

WHY DON’T ALL SALONS WORK THE SAME WAY?

​

Waxing is not an exact recipe — it’s a series of professional decisions.

​

Every salon works with:

​

• different products

• different techniques

• different pacing

• different levels of knowledge, from inexperienced to highly professional

• more or less painful methods

• premium or lower-cost materials

 

This alone is not necessarily a matter of right or wrong — the key question is why we work the way we do.

​

OUR PROFESSIONAL PRINCIPLE

​

We don’t ask:
“What is usually used on this body part?”

​

We ask instead:
“On this specific skin surface, what is the most gentle, safest, and most effective solution?”

​

That’s why we don’t think in terms of body-part names, but in terms of skin characteristics.

​

WHAT WE CONSIDER WHEN MAKING A DECISION

​

When choosing a technique, we take into account:

​

• skin thickness

• skin sensitivity

• whether the area is contoured or flat

• how mobile the skin is

• hair thickness and density

 

 Together, these determine which method we use.

​

HOW WE WORK IN PRACTICE

​

SOFT, THIN-SKINNED, CONTOURED AREAS

(not only intimate areas)

​

These may include:

• intimate area

• underarms

• skin folds (e.g. inner thigh–intimate line, neck)

• certain facial areas

• any area where the skin is more prone to injury

 

 In these areas, we use hard wax, because it:

​

• does not adhere strongly to the skin

• reduces the risk of injury

• allows greater precision in folds

• provides better control of movement

 

Goal: skin protection + gentleness.

 

LARGE, FLAT, LESS SENSITIVE AREAS

 

Examples include:

• legs

• arms

• back

• chest

• abdomen

👉 Here, we use cartridge (soft) wax, because it is:

• faster and more precise

• more even

• more effective on large surfaces

• less tiring for the skin during longer treatments

 

Goal: efficiency + speed + comfort.

 

DO WE APPLY THIS THE SAME WAY FOR WOMEN AND MEN?

 

The principle is the same, but:

​

• men often have thicker hair

• women often have more sensitive skin

 

Therefore:

​

• the technique

• the pace

• the amount of product used

 

are always adapted to the individual client, not to gender or generic formulas.

 

WHY IS THIS GOOD FOR THE CLIENT?

​

This approach:

• reduces irritation

• minimizes pain

• allows for faster treatments

• protects the skin long-term

 

 It’s not “more spectacular” waxing — it’s smarter waxing.
