Wild Violet strip wax available now from Ashmira Botanica

-

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…

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...
