Benefits of Hard Wax

There are two main types of wax and today I'm going to talk about the benefits of hard wax for you, the client.

Hard wax is a wax that sets up without the use of a strip to remove. It works by shrink wrapping around the hair becoming encased in wax and thereby removed when the piece of wax is removed from the area. Hard wax does not attach itself to the skin, so it is considered gentle and great for all skin types, especially for those that are sensitive. Depending on the brand and nature of the hard wax applied to the skin, it can be placed and removed up to six times in the same area.

When I set out to become THE Brazilian Wax Expert in Southeast Idaho, I went through a selection process where I tried 18 hard waxes in a little over a month’s time period. (God bless those clients that stuck with me.) I really wanted to make sure that I was using the wax that would remove hair most efficiently while being gentle on the skin. I found it in June 2018 … and while I’ve been using it ever since, I do have a couple of original clients that will allow me to test a new wax. (Maybe once a year.)

I absolutely LOVE using hard wax on the face and the Brazilian area. While you can use hard wax on the whole body, that is not my preference. Each type of wax has a purpose and as long as your waxer knows their products (this goes for sugaring too), then you are in good hands. I hope that you love the benefits of hard wax. I invite you to come and try a wax at Essential Esthetics by Zoey. Can’t wait to meet you!
