This is the application method that differs the most: the sugar paste (or chocolate) does not apply in the same direction and does not require strips. Sugar paste wax (or chocolate) is also used for sensitive areas such as the face. Also, thanks to its ingredients, the sugar paste offers a slight exfoliation at the same time.

There are 3 kinds of hair removal strips: cotton tape, pelon and honeycomb tape. They are more often offered to you in bulk (in rolls). In this case, you will have to cut the strips necessary for your epilation. All bands work the same. The strips are available in several sizes depending on your preference and the region to be depilated.

Unlike warm wax, hot wax should have a more or less plastic texture when heated. The hot wax must be applied with a wooden spatula and not with a stainless steel one, since metal is a conductor. You can also use your fingers for wax application and removal. You must wear gloves or fingertips. If you are not working with your fingers, you should hem the base of the tape so that you have a good grip for removal.

No, it is important to check with your client if she has any allergies. If so, some waxes may not be suitable! Some waxes make the treatment feel less painful. So you can, with your knowledge, adjust the type of wax that might best suit your client’s sensitivity. N.B. by using a client file, you will have all the useful information on your client.

No, since some waxes are designed to go in the microwave. However, if it is not mentioned, it is probably that the container cannot withstand the intense heat and radiation of a microwave.

Yes, but under certain conditions. You can fill with powder and resin on any other covering (UV gel, acrylic, etc.). However, the opposite is not advisable.

If the covering cracks lengthwise, the choice of the tips is the cause: the tip is too small, too flat or too curved. Applying nail dryer directly to the tip can also cause it to crack (as it takes away its flexibility). If the overlap cracks widthwise, then the overlap was probably too thin (stress point).
