Painless Nostril Waxing

[Jen Smith]

Not a course Jen,I meant trained:green: sorry, however we have to have done the area we are waxing(not just shown but actually assessed and competent) in order to be insured.A lot of therapists are waxing areas that they have not been trained to do(nor qualified in doing) and therfore are not covered by their insurance should anything go wrong,this is what causes me concern.

Ah right, I get you .. well its certainly not something you will be shown at college, its definately an 'advanced' waxing procedure yet very easy to do as already said. So I guess you would have to have some specialist training if you were going to offer it safely and legitimately. :hug:

Good points ladies. I want to be 100% sure myself so I've dropped an email over to Babtac. Will either post the answer or ask for this post to be removed and retract my tutorial.

Thanks for the 'heads-up', Jason.

I certainly wouldnt remove your excellent tutorial Jason ... I have actually been trained in nasel hair removal, be it slightly differently than you showed in your brief... but it was still helpful and very interesting to me as I am sure many more who read it.

Its surely down to the individual waxer whether or not they choose to have the appropriate training and/or check with their insurance company to see if they will be covered if they havent had this kind of waxing taught to them by an accrediting training company.

I dont think you would need to retract your tutorial Jason,after all there are some beauty therapists who aren't nail techs and there are a lot of nail enhancement tutorials as there are a lot of other waxing tuturials.

Thankyou for posting :hug: xx

Great info sheet. I do similar but to apply the wax I twirl a cotton bud in the hot wax (ie non-strip wax) and then twirl it as I take it to the nose so it is a bud of wax then place it in the nose and twirl it in to grab up the hairs...hard to picture I know. Then you let it harden with the cotton bud stick poking out and you use that as the handle to remove the wax. We have also done the same with a popstick. You need to take care as you can lift skin the same way as on an eyebrow if you are not careful. It is seriously painful inside the nose!!

Thanks Pamela. It's fantastic to get the viewpoint of other professionals around this shrinking world!

Just an observation about the bud sticks - personally I would be worried that the customer might have a sneezing-type reaction and risk pushing the sticks inwards - but clearly I'm not in your waxing room and I don't have all the information.

I've always been extra careful on the oil - so not had any skin lift to date.

Thanks again for your post!

Kind Regards, Jason

HI

I have seen both of these techniques (well not with an ear bud! but a thin wax stick).

I read your tutorial Jason and you say to never do this? Yet i have seen both techniques? Why do you say not to do it this way?

I just asked my husband if i could try it on him both ways and hmm he said no! (not very politely )

So which is the better way with the stick poking out of the nose or just a ball of wax?

Oops - I missed your post - apologies for the slight delay!

As per previous post - if you have a 'tool' - skinny spatula / cotton bud / etc moulded into the bolus it turns a fairly harmless ball of wax into a potentially lethal weapon! You can never be sure that the customer isn't going have some kind of involunatry reaction (like a sneeze) before or even after the wax is set.

The natural reaction to a sneeze is a very fast droop of head with the hand coming up towards the nose. If the customer were to push the stick upwards it could damage the internal structure of the nose or far worse.

Remember "Just Wax" for these treatments - you don't need anything else and it's far too risky anyway!

WRT your husband - tell him to man-up a bit! Pulling one hair out is a killer - taking them all at the same time with the correct preparation and post-pull squeeze will be a liberating experience for him.

Let me know how you get on.

Please don't insert anything other than the wax inside the nose as it's dangerous. If you apply the wax properly and most importantly, let it set, you don't need anything other than the wax. xx

I've seen Kim in action doing nostril waxing demos - hardly a flinch from the models!:biggrin:
