Paraffin Heaters v Wax heaters - difference?

[hayleymorgan50]

I have a wax pot for waxing and want to offer paraffin wax treatments in manicure/pedicure, can I use the same heater just use a different inner pot?
The heater look exactly the same whats the difference??

You should have covered this in your training. Different temperatures etc ..........

yes you can use a separate inner bucket for your paraffin wax in the same heater.

Yes, jacquelineanna is right, you can definitely use the same heater, just keep your paraffin wax in a different inner bucket. However, you need to be careful with your bookings and make sure you have time between waxing and manicure/pedicure appts to heat the different waxes. Speed heating is ok but if you overheat wax it takes a very long time to cool down. When you become busy you may want to consider getting another one or two heaters. It'll make life easier!

Ha ha ha, I have a heater for my Perron Rigot Eurose hot wax, one for Perron Rigot crystal ocean which I use for all facial waxing, one for tea tree creme wax. one for paraffin wax for facials - I don't use this one loads but it was one that was replaced so thought I would use it rather than throw it and finally my roller cartridge wax unit which holds 3 cartridges.

I do a lot of waxing!!!

You can use a wax heater but you need to be really careful that you don't heat the paraffin wax so that it's too hot to use and this is really easy to do in a wax heater. The paraffin wax heaters have an in-built thermostat to tell you when it is the right temp.

Even with a proper paraffin wax heater it can be difficult to get the temperature right. I've got a Depileve heater, fairly large capacity, and I need to keep the dial pretty much right down at 1-2.
