Professional therapists will already be proficient in waxing, so here is a quick recap of techniques to familiarise yourself with Harley Waxing products.
Harley Waxing suggests following these wax application methods and tips when using our products to help deliver optimal results to your clients.
Before using Harley Hot Wax, apply a thin layer of Harley Pre-Waxing Oil with a cotton pad. Starting in the opposite direction of hair growth, apply the wax in a figure-of-8 to lift the hair into the wax. Once it has cooled and become slightly firm (not hard or brittle), flick up the tab. Gripping the tab with one hand and firmly holding the skin with the other, remove the wax in the opposite direction to the hair growth in one quick motion.
The Harley Film Wax range also requires an application of the Harley Pre-Waxing Oil. Apply Film Wax in the direction of the hair growth. Slightly lift the spatula at the end and wave over the patch until the wax wisps snap off. Once the wax has cooled and become slightly firm and not sticky, flick up a tab. Gripping the tab with one hand and firmly holding the skin with the other, remove the wax in the opposite direction to the hair growth in one quick motion. If the wax is too stringy, slightly increase the temperature, but not too much, or you will not be able to load the spatula.
Use only the Harley Cleanser & Toner before Harley Strip Wax; do not use Pre-Waxing Oil, as it will prevent the wax from adhering to the hair. Using a spatula or wax roller, apply the wax evenly in the direction of the hair growth. Massage a waxing strip into the wax, then, while gripping the strip with one hand and firmly holding the skin with the other, remove the strip in the opposite direction to the hair growth in one quick motion. Use After Wax Oil to remove any sticky wax residue from the skin.
When removing all Harley Waxes, apply firm pressure with your hand immediately afterwards to soothe the skin and reduce redness. After the waxing treatment, tweeze away any stubborn hairs and apply Harley After Wax Oil or Aloe Soothing Gel to reduce redness and irritation.
Always use Harley Pre and Post Waxing Products to optimise the client’s treatment experience and achieve silky smooth results.
