Happy new year from Axiom Wax Academy

-

Hello hello! And a very happy new year to YOU, waxers.

 Sooooo... 2018. Here we all are, hopefully feeling suitably refreshed and recharged after the festive break. I don’t know about you, but I’ve only been back at the wax pots a few days and Christmas already feels like a distant memory. When’s the next bank holiday?? 😉

 2018 is shaping up to be a busy one. A few tidbits of news to keep you in the loop:

New training

 We’re launching new female facial waxing and tinting classes next month, co-written with my buddy Sam Marshall (The Beauty Guru). Initially they will run from Manchester but we’ll roll them out in Basingstoke and the Midlands too if there is demand. Sam will also be running some of her fab female intimate waxing classes from my place in Basingstoke this year - drop me a line if you’re interested and we’ll keep you posted of dates and details as they are finalised.

 Travels

 I’ll be in Glasgow at the end of this month with Tracey from Ashmira Botanica and am heading back out to Norway to run classes with Beauty Basics over the spring. France and Belgium are also on the cards, if I pull my finger out. More details to follow.

 Pro Beauty London

 Myself and Sam will be teaming up to present a male intimate waxing seminar on the Monday of this years show. There will be a live demo, Q&A session and lots of juicy tips to help you tackle any manscaping scenario with courage and conviction. Two waxers, one scrotum... what could possibly go wrong?!

 New products

 Too much excitement to go into here, so I’m thinking of doing one of those fancy Facebook live videos as a ‘show and tell’ with some new bits and bobs I’ve been working on. Keep ‘em peeled!

 That’s it for now. I wish you all the very brightest of years ahead - may 2018 bring you continued business success, good health and laughter by the bucketload. Cheers to that!

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...

New pre & post-wax skincare from Ashmira Botanica Congratulations, it’s quintuplets... 👶👶👶👶👶 I’m a proud Wax Daddy today. My babies are finally here!! I’m pleased as punch to unveil the new waxing skincare line from Ashmira Botanica, which I’ve been working on for the past year. It’s an absolutely beautiful range, even if I do say so myself, incorporating both in-salon and retail items to support your waxing services. Every product is enriched with wonderful botanical extracts, natural butters and plant oils to protect and nurture the skin throughout every stage of hair removal. They all feel amazing, smell gorgeous and (of course) do a blinding job in the treatment room.

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...
