Hi Everyone
Glad to see your postings. I did a wax course Thursday and was dreading the bikini bit. I was told to give the client a fabric strip and to get her to put it inside and over the edge of her knickers (to protect them), then get her to stretch the area, I was told to trim if too long and to hook the hairs out of the edge of the knickers with the scissors first before trimming, apply the wax and to make sure the strip didn't go beyond the knicker edge. This I did I think and ended up with a few clumps of wax and had to get the trainer over! She cut them out with scissors.
I also think if they have never had it done there before it is pretty painful as I found out when she did me!
Anyone used the PhD system, after using the warm honey wax and seeing how messy one could get, the PhD seems ideal.

hi hun did you enjoy your course, i use the phd system, its a bit fiddly at first but after a while its fine, i use the honey wax with it but when i need more think i will try the creme wax and see what that is like, i used creme wax with my pot and always found it fine , the phd system is good though especiallly from the hygiene point of view which i think is really important for your clients, good luck and let us know how you get on , love dee
Hi Dee
I did enjoy it, the trainer was very good.
I see Ellisons offer the PhD and also offer free training, do you think it would be worth doing the training or do you think I could master it? My local salon says she looked at using it but decided it would be too expensive for her in the long run. Do you use yours in a salon or mobile, if mobile how do you cope with the 30-40 mins warm up time?
I noticed with the warm wax in a pot on our course it did fluctuate in temperature and consistency, have you noticed this with the PhD system?
Regards
