How Much Pressure Should You Apply When Waxing
Are you not sure how much pressure you should apply when laying a wax strip? This is something that doesn’t seem to be talked about as much as it should, but proper pressure is a very important step when applying a wax strip.
First, I’ll explain why using enough pressure is important. The goal with waxing is to remove the hair from the root. In order to do that, you need the wax to get as close to the base of the hair as possible. If you don’t get the wax as close to the base of the hair as possible, you run the risk of snapping the hair and the hair not being removed at all.
The main reason why people don’t use enough pressure when spreading a wax strip is they either don’t understand why pressure is important, or they are concerned they’re going to hurt their client. I hear this all the time, so many people are scared that they are going to hurt their client if they apply too much pressure, but I guarantee you that you are not hurting them. The only way you would hurt them is if you jab the stick into their skin which is something we would never do.
Let me show you the difference between a wax strip with one where not enough pressure is used, and the second strip where the correct amount of pressure is used.
In this first wax strip, you’ll see that I’m spreading the wax lightly on my skin. You can tell that I’m not using a lot of pressure because my skin underneath isn’t moving at all. This is not a good sign because the wax isn’t going to get as good of a grip on the hair.
In this second wax strip, I’m going to apply the correct amount of pressure. You’ll see my skin is slightly pulling underneath the wax strip, but not so much where you’re forcing it. The wax should glide on smoothly and evenly. This will ensure that the wax is fully adhering to the base of the hair and should be able to be pulled out from the root properly.
It might take a bit for you to understand how hard you should push when applying a strip, but eventually it will feel like second nature.

Stirring Your Wax

Stirring your wax consistently is extremely important to remember when you're both waxing your clients at a salon as well as if you’re just waxing yourself at home. Not sure why this is?

Is Waxing Painful?
zhlédnutí 819Před měsícem
First of all, we should define what waxing is. Waxing is a process of removing the hair from the root by using a sticky substance (wax) which is applied on top of the body hair and is then removed. When the wax is removed, the hair gets stuck inside the wax so the hair will be pulled from the root. So the big question - is waxing painful? Short answer, yes waxing is painful. Waxing is a longer ...

Are you using hard wax??
What brand of hard wax do you recommend?
I wanted candy planter😡😡😡
What’s the name of the wax?
Thank u ❤
That’s what I’m looking for is a rounded eyebrow look that extends from the inside corner of the eyelid to the outside corner with a rounded look. I’m not sure if I can get the scissors right. Can I use a stencil, and do you have any recommendations, or would a ruler work better for me?
Ugh
Hi I did my first wax 4 weeks ago the portion nearest to my vijina has fairly grown but the rest of it u can't even see what to do then do I go get wax or wait
Thank you ❤ I have a question I do work in this great field as an Esthetician. I'am being sincere when asking this question would a Esthetician charge more according to body type.? Because more product is being used or should it be more or less the same across the board? A hairstylist, depending on hair length the longer The hair They charge more because extra product is being used .Thank you for your advice 😊
Pardon my asking...how much for the male groin area?
In a redhead with a very high pain tolerance who has done my own stitches. I decided to try waxing my groin myself due to my wife complaining of irritation after shaving. Boy was this a very idiotic thing to try myself. Hahahah. Half way done and still scared to yank hard hahahaha.
😢😢😢
I’ve just learned waxing and my tutor taught me to apply hard wax against the hair and remove against. When I look online everyone is doing with and then against. Was I taught wrong or can it be done like this?
Hi there, im new to your channel but loving the videos am a licenced aesthetician but am abit rusty with waxing treatments which i want to introduce to my business. I would like to purchase a silicon silicone mat as well as the mould which youve used in other videos. Do you know where i would be able to purchase one that can be shipped to uk
Thank u soooo much❤
girl you legit have a video for every single one of my questions 😂😂😂
Waxing is very underrated it actually keeps the hair from growing back as thick the hair grows back much thiner sometimes it doesn't grow back at all
I recently got waxed on my lip and under my chin- very uncomfortable place to be waxed at! Brazilian Wax is super painful when the hair starts growing back! great videos and very informative!
I have a question regarding contraindications if you don't mind. You truly are the wax pro that I look up to the most. Would you ever wax over active psoriasis plaques? I was put in a very uncomfortable situation today. They were the worst I ever saw some were actively bleeding. I told her the best I could do was to wax around the lesions the client lost her 💩 said that's like 80% of her legs. I offered a lesser charge, she stormed off and cried...literally. what would you have done? We use soft wax only.
Nice tips. Excellent technique. What i need to know is how to do underarms. I tried it once and it really hurt.
I want to show appreciation and am aware of low wages. Thank you for bringing clarity so I can have comfort of being informed on the issue of tipping.
This is very helpful as usual thank you 😊
Obviously every place is different, but at the EWC I go to (Southern California) my waxing specialists/aestheticians are fully booked weeks in advance, of course that probably has something to do with there only being two people in the place that are trained and willing to do Brazilians on male anatomy (and the next closest EWC has NOBODY) In any case I feel like I tip OK, I tip $40 for a Brazilian, full legs and full butt and $30 for Chest/Stomach, Arms and Underarms. Also I ALWAYS tip in cash. I don't want the people who help me to lose money to credit card fees and frankly I just don't trust business owners to not steal from their employees tips, handing cash directly to a service worker avoids all of that.
Hi I have one question I'm using soft wax so on some clients it's breakout specially on back bumps happened very next day can u tell me why it's happened and what is remedy?
What cleanser do you use on the cotton pad before waxing?
Thank you
where can i do this
Can you use hot wax on above upper lip for face hairs ❤
What is the wax pot you're using?
I just waxed my beard a couple days ago for the first time, and I'm here to tell you, it was excruciating! It was bleeding and everything. But man, oh man, the results are sooo good. I look so much younger and my skin looks so smooth and bright. I absolutely love the results, but it comes at a hefty price. If you're a man who's thinking of doing this, you've been warned.
Very helpful!❤
Can u make a video with waxing strips ?
I was not expecting this many people in the comments saying the've done this, it's just weird, why are you waxing your beards??? doing insane damage to your face and hair follicle for what? just shave your face like a normal person.
Just binge watching all of your videos because I finally bought a home waxing kit and I'm trying to absorb as much information as possible before I take the plunge 😂 love how informative and in depth you are, I'm definitely learning something!
Why switch directions?
Loved the video! Loved how you explained why it works and gets easier over time. You mentioned razor burn and that makes me wonder what happens if you try to wax an area with an ingrown hair?
Ask him to take his cap off.
These videos tend to show the hair on the waxing tool but what could be really novel would be showing a lit-up high resolution view of the inside of their nostril after the waxing. Of course, I imagine the client might have to agree first to such a “revealing” view being visible to the world
Good idea!
This was superclear thank you!
You're so welcome!
5:25 I remember the first time I got a Brazilian wax I was told no "activities" for 24 hours and I have to tell you it was a LONG 24 hours because I looked and felt so good down there that I was definitely in the mood. ;)
Hi, I am very interested in this wax, I am a Pro Licensed Swiss Esthetician/Cosmetologist. I have only one question left bevor I'll make an order, maybe someone can help me out here: Approximately how much kg/Ib of this wax is needed for the whole legs (average size) ? I can imagine it is more sufficient than other waxes? (2.2Ib/1kg with my current wax (thick consistency) is sufficient for only about 3-4 complete Legs...) Thank you are any answers 🙂
Hi there! Unfortunately, there are just too many factors that come into play when it comes to leg waxing so I can't give a specific amount to how much wax you will end up using. Apologies <3
Dude not even breathing 😂😂😂
Hahah he did great!
Wait, I need to hear more about pulling someone’s skin off while waxing?? 👀
Yes, the top layer of skin can be removed (this will leave the skin looking shiny) and it very painful. That happens often when using soft wax, which I don't recommend.
For guys (or transgender women) a Brazilian (sometimes called a "Manzilian" Wax will include all the hair growing on the external organs. (I know The Hiss'n Kitten doesn't do Bikini or Brazilian waxes on men, which is no doubt why she doesn't talk about it)
Agreed! I have no experience with Manzilians so I didn't even bring that up due to having no advice.
Can u tell me the difference bw brazallian wax and normal wax ?I can do bikini with normal hardwax and soft wax than why we need specialy Brazilian wax?
A Brazilian Wax isn't a specific type of wax it's a specific service that (usually) removes ALL the hair "down there" including (again usually) the "butt strip". You don't need any specific kind of wax for a Brazilian Wax.
Thank you for answering for me :)
Hi Thank you ❤ can you please clarify something for me,The product PFBVANISH contains salicylic acid, glycolic Acid etc .I Thought these ingredients were a contradiction for waxing ?! Thank you for your Advice.
I recommend to stop using PFB Vanish 3 days before waxing :)
Good on you for doing it, but speaking as someone who would be one of those. He definitely knew what he was getting into, & was ready for it. ❤ & you probably made him so happy because he was finally able to look at himself in the mirror & see himself look 'right' if that makes sense. Even if it was only for a short while.
Back in 2020 to 2022, I was fortunate to have found a men's salon that did offer beard waxing. Some aestheticians definitely had to do a bit of research before my appointment. One aesthetician who I only had once (and didn't seem to have stuck around at the salon) didn't realise that I wanted my whole facial beard wax, not just the corners. Imagine having to suddenly switch to pulling off facial beard all of a sudden. The aestheticians were of course adamant about facial aftercare. I can understand the man not being talkative, as one doesn't want move their face a lot when that is the place getting waxed, some of us struggle to talk when we are focused on not flinching, and also aestheticians bring their eyes close to the client's face.
My sister armpits hair growing 😊
