Waxing the Upper Lip

AS a waxing spa professional, a lot of people will come to you asking for hair removal in almost every part of the body. You should know the right trick to remove every kind of hair despite its location if you want to excel in waxing hair removal.
When a client comes into the spa and asks for a waxing hair removal on her upper lip, here is a guide on how the hair will be removed:

• The first step is to get the right type of wax: Hard wax is the most convenient to use on the small part of the lips since it will not require the use of a strip and will also be less painful when pulling off. Hard wax is also convenient as it does not stick to the skin but only on the hair. The client will, therefore, have less irritation and rashes which are the most common side effects of waxing hair removal.
• Warm the wax using a wax warmer to the right temperature that will not burn the client’s facial skin. You should also ensure that it does not get too runny as this will be very hard to spread. Leaving it too gloppy is also not a good idea as it will form a very thick layer that will be very difficult to pull off the skin. Ensure that it is neither too gloppy nor too runny for best results.
• Ensure that the part that will be waxed, which is the upper lip in this instance is free from all dirt and makeup so that the wax can stick properly onto the hair being removed.
• To test the temperature of the wax before the application, you can drop a small amount of wax on your own wrist. If it is too hot for you, wait for it to cool as applying it in such a temperature will burn the client’s skin. You can add some cold wax in the waxing pot to help in lowering the temperature.
• Use the applicator to apply the wax on the upper lip. You should ensure that you use only one side of the applicator for a clean application. You should also avoid double dipping as this may contaminate the wax in the pot. The wax should be applied according to the direction of the hair growth for ease of removal. You should ensure that the layer of wax is not too thin as this will break when attempting to pull off the hair.
• During the application, you should leave a thick edge on one part of the lip which will be easy to grip when pulling off the hair together with the wax. The client’s lips should be free from unwanted hair once the wax is removed. One the hair on the upper lip has been removed; you should apply a soothing lotion to help in cooling off the area and reduce the irritation that is brought about by the waxing hair removal.

If you are able to perfect the art of hair removal in a small part of the body like the face with minimal irritation, the client will be able to trust you with the hair removal of an extensive part of the body. He will spread work about your waxing hair removal to all his friends in and the end result will be an increase in the number of clients coming for waxing in your spa.
