What Do Professional Waxers Do?
Professional waxers are specialists who use wax to remove unwanted hair from the skin. They are often called wax technicians or certified wax specialists. The official occupational title is depilatory technician.
To qualify as a professional waxer, you need a secondary school certificate and a license as a beautician or cosmetologist. As a specialist, you should constantly consider the well-being of the client as people hold your body in the grip of a treatment that requires attention, care, and accuracy.
Types of Waxers
There are two main types of power waxers: rotary and orbital. Rotary power waxers have a circular head that rotates in a circular motion. They are best for large surfaces like floors and are ideal for removing dirt and grime from deep within the grain of the wood.
Body waxes are delivered with soft or hard wax, and professional waxers need to have two choices in their business. When in doubt, hard wax is used in small areas where the skin is more delicate, while soft wax is used temporarily to treat excessive stretch marks on the skin.
Types of Waxes
Waxes are divided into animal, vegetable, and mineral types. The most common types of polyolefin waxes are polyethylene wax, polypropylene wax, and polyamides.
Tips for Using a Power Waxer
When using a power waxer, move it smoothly and slowly over the surface. Apply wax directly to the power waxer’s pad in small dots around the edge and a larger one in the center for even coverage.
