Wax Daddy loves... Scrummi Spa disposables

-

Laundry: a necessary evil? Time-consuming, costly and not terribly friendly to the environment. Well, not any more!

I’ve always used modesty towels at the salon for various waxing and massage treatments, but there’s no escaping the feeling that it’s incredibly wasteful throwing a towel that has been draped over a client for all of 30 seconds straight in the laundry basket. Not to mention the fact I can think of more exciting ways to spend a Friday evening than washing, drying and folding endless towels.

2 months ago I replaced all of my hand towels with the medium size disposables from Scrummi Spa. That simple act alone has saved me 3-4 loads of washing and drying every week since then, which means more time for eating cake. Hurrah! The initial purchase cost has balanced out, I feel like I’m taking steps towards being greener in the salon, and customers like the hygiene aspect in particular as they see the towel going straight in the bin at the end of their treatment.

The full Scrummi range features products in various sizes and styles, from disposable hand mitts (great for facials) to large body wraps, spa sheets and table covers. They are all made from sustainably sourced wood fibres, have a lovely soft waffle texture and are completely biodegradable.

I’m a convert. Fancy trying them for yourself? Axiom Wax Academy graduates get 10% off their first order - call the marvellous Kerry on 01732 617 610 to request a free sample and let me know what you think!

Dealing with waxing injuries

-

Following my recent post about skin lifting , I had several lovely emails, Facebook messages, tweets and texts from fellow therapists relieved to know they weren't alone! If something does go wrong, a common concern therapists have is how on earth to inform a waxing client about an injury. This is something we cover on all of our classes at Axiom Wax Academy , but I figured I'd take the opportunity to share a few ideas here, too. It’s enough to make any therapist’s heart sink: you pull a strip of wax off and realise with horror that it’s left behind a nice, shiny graze or a big ol’ bruise. Welcome to the club Take comfort in the knowledge that you’re not the first person this has happened to and you certainly won’t be the last. First things first: have a little internal sweary moment, then take a deep breath and point it out to your client. This is important. If you don’t mention it, you can bet your bottom dollar that he’ll g...

5 waxing mistakes to avoid

Ensure things go smoothly at the wax pot. In an article first written for Salon System , waxing specialist Andy Rouillard reveals the most common waxing mistakes therapists tend to make… and how to avoid them. 1. Not doing a consultation This should really go without saying, but I still see too many therapists forgetting to carry out a consultation prior to waxing. Regardless of whether it’s a 5 minute upper lip wax or a 2 hour full body treatment,  always carry out a full written consultation with new clients  to ensure that waxing is safe and appropriate for that customer. With regulars, check whether there have been any changes affecting their skin, blood or immune system since you last saw them. A seemingly simple change in skin care, health or medication can have a significant knock-on effect with waxing, so it’s vital to check at every visit. In addition to being a mandat...
