What if she pulled a new stick just for you? She probably did the same thing with the last person and their cooties are still in the pot too. So that means she dips into the wax, uses it to apply the wax on your skin and puts it back into the wax pot contaminating the wax pot with your cooties. What is double dipping and why is it bad?ĭouble dipping is when an esthetician uses the same wax stick more than once. Hard wax can also be used on coarser hair than traditional soft wax. Hard wax attaches to the hair and not the skin. The reason we use hard wax for sensitive areas is because it is less aggressive on the skin. After wax is applied, the wax cools down, hardens and is pulled directly from the skin. Our hard wax, also known as stripless wax is made from synthetic materials. We do not use muslin strips for our soft wax, we use a higher quality synthetic fiber fabric that is stronger to allow for cleaner less painful pulls and less irritation. In our experience, our clients have had less irritation from this type of wax. Our soft wax is made from tree resin and other synthetic materials. Generally, we will use soft wax for large areas of the body, for example back and chest and we will use hard wax for more sensitive areas like the brazilian or nose waxing. Depending on the area of the body we will either use soft strip wax or synthetic hard wax.
