How much wax do I buy?

[angelina221]

your profile says you are a nail geek only
but all the questions you are asking seems to be from someone untrained?
sorry for the ???s it just seems like most of what you need to know should have been part of your training

In Dollybirds first post it does say she has just done a wax course

It might just be worth you looking at the digital heaters on the market as depending on the room you use for waxing it can sometimes be difficult to keep the wax at the right temperature and the digital ones keep the wax at just the right temperatures which makes waxing a lot easier for you as you dont have to check the temperature and more comfortable for the clients if the wax is kept at the right consistency :O)))

I have done a waxing course, but as with all courses you learn with one or two systems and then to quote my trainer at college "it's up to you which system you prefer". I thought that was the point of this site to help and advise others with the experience you already have! If we all knew everything there would be no point to the site
here's a list of the courses I have done
Nail Services Level 2, which covered, manicure, pedicure, liquid & powder and nail art
Eyelash perming, tinting, Brow tinting, shaping
Warm waxing,
just in case I ask another question and I OUGHT TO ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER DUE TO ME HAVING DONE THE COURSE!!
Thanks for your concern though

I think in a nutshell there is no fixed rules of how much you should buy. Especially if you are trying out a new wax, buy a tub or bag and play with it till you find the right temperature and see if you like it and can work with it. Just make sure that you have enough in the pot to actually give it a fair chance as you wont be able to get the right temperature and setting if you put just a tiny bit in, so have a look at which wax you want to try, buy one and see how you get on, if you like it most suppliers offer deals to give you a discount.

I don't think there's been much success with these Britta as even the well know makes have been re-called or put on hold. When I got mine, I had visions of a nice clean floor without wax cobwebs......sadly this wasn't the case. I'm still waiting for the perfect heater. xxx

Maybe we are speaking of different ones as the one I have seen is fantastic and one of the best waxers I have seen in my lifetime (wont mention names) has helped to improve and perfection these The feedback is fantastic and they work a treat and Digital heaters are still the best way of keeping the temperature steady especially in rooms that can change temperature a lot like conservatories etc.....

As for the cobwebs.....I dont think that has anything to do with the heater but the "way" from the heater to the client.....
