Learn Male Waxing

It's exciting to hear that Violet and Mulberry have started to land in your treatment rooms. I hope you all enjoy hanging out with them (and I hope they behave themselves)! I will add some video tutorials to my Facebook page over the coming weeks, but for those keen to get up and running here are a few tips for getting the most out of your Mulberry   peelable wax. Skip to the end for the short version!! First things first The single most important thing to know about Mulberry is that he doesn’t hang about. He sets extremely fast and for this reason he’s best mates with confident waxers who work quickly. This is a blessing for anyone who wants to cut down their treatment times, but do bear it in mind. Know where you want to go before you get him out of the pot, as too much stick twizzling will mean he starts to dry midair before even hitting the skin. Heating Mulberry is happy whether heated gently (use a timer to switch your pot on 90 minutes before you...

Allow me the pleasure of introducing you to my new BFF: Wild Violet. She's the first member of the Ashmira Botanica wax family and I hope you'll fall in love with her as much as I have. As strip waxes go, she's a bit of a party girl, is our Violet - just check out her bling, for starters. With her blend of natural resins and oils (argan, hazel and   capuaçu, in case you were wondering) she also knows how to get the job done, with brilliant results every time: gliding like silk across the   contours of the body, then releasing cleanly from the skin when the moment of reckoning arrives. Smoooooth. Wanna be friends? Wild Violet can be purchased now from  Ashmira Botanica by calling 01823 428588. Pssst... she also has a brother. We call him Mulberry. More about him and his non-strip antics another day… © Andy Rouillard 2017

Great waxing begins before our clients even step through the salon door. Preparation can make or break a wax! None of us like to disappoint a customer who has shaved too close to their appointment or been out in the sun all day and is too pink to de-fuzz, for example. Help new clients plan ahead by popping a few words of advice up on your website or emailing some tips prior to their first treatment... “Dear lovely customers, to get the best results from your wax, please heed these words of wisdom:” No shaving or hair removal creams for 3 weeks before your appointment. No chemical exfoliants (AHA or BHA products) for 48 hours prior to waxing. No sunbathing, sunbeds or heat treatments for 24 hours beforehand. No bath oils or body lotions on the day of the appointment itself. Do use a body scrub or mitt to gently exfoliate the skin a few days before waxing. This helps to slough off any dead skin cells and lifts the hair for better results. Do wear clean, loose-fi...
