Waxing on the go

[LeaneyMay]

Hi everyone,

I'm building up experience on friends and family at the moment (i'm level 2 beauty nearly finished).

Normally everyone comes to me for waxing, but I've got a few friends who want me to go to them during the school holidays. This might sound like a really silly question but what do you do about heating the wax? Do you just plug in at each person's house? At the moment because its friends and family, it's not so bad but I'm thinking about if I do more mobile work. Is it better to get a roller system for when I'm out and about?

Sorry if this post comes across as silly, I just never thought about heating it as I have always done it at home

I normally just plug it in at each person's house. Just be very careful about driving afterwards!! I've had experiences where my wax has tipped in the boot of my cad because it was still hot when I left my clients house. I've never tried a roller system so wouldn't know how they work.

Thank you for replying. I have a biggish washing up bowl that I use to carry bits around in my boot so was thinking I would put it in there afterwards. I've never tried the roller waxes either so a bit unsure of them, I'm used to the warm and hot wax so was hoping this would be the case of just plugging in each time

Just make sure you turn the wax off as soon as you've finished using it and it should give time to cool down.

Will do Well the first one is tomorrow morning so hopefully, no major accidents happen

I have a roller wax system and just use it the same way as you would the pot waxes (pouring the wax onto the spatulas- as I found I couldn’t get the roller heads as clean as I’d like and so stopped using them) I really like this method as the wax heats up in only 15 mins and even my hot wax takes 30-45 mins so it’s perfect for taking on the move I should think.

I have a charger for my car for keeping the wax hot whilst on the move, plugs into cigarette lighter. Bought it off eBay few years ago & is a lifesaver. Cling film wrapped around the top of your wax pot helps with any spillages. Plus get a storage box & pack everything around the heater to stop it from moving around.

Went this morning for a trial first mobile wax. Packed everything in a large washing up bowl and seemed ok. No spills or tipping so all good. I need to pack a small folding table (like the tv dinner ones) and an extension lead I think to make it a little easier... or maybe I'm bulking myself down with just extras

I take a folding table & extension lead too, it’s a pain but in my experience really handy as some houses don’t have many plug sockets or they’re stuck behind sofas etc. Tables good in case if any spillages, you won’t ruin clients furniture

Oh glad I'm on the right track thought wise with what to take then. Thank you
