Intimate Waxing.

What is Intimate Waxing?

Known as Vulva Waxing (we like to be inclusive!), previously named Female Intimate waxing covers intimate waxing techniques such as Brazilian, Hollywood and shaping.

The Brazilian wax was first so named in modern times by the J. Sisters salon in Manhattan, founded in 1987 by seven sisters from Brazil.  Since then the treatment has spread worldwide, although there is evidence that women have been removing their pubic hair for centuries.  In Middle Eastern societies, removal of the female body hair has been considered proper hygiene, and in Islam, this is known as an act of Fitrah.

This rapidly growing trend is now a norm amongst women and is definitely here to stay, with the traditional bikini wax slipping into the background  becoming a much less requested service.

The course teaches you how to use non-strip wax  – minimising pain and discomfort for your clients.

Benefits to Your Business.

This is a highly profitable service with the treatment time anything from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on experience and speed.  The advantage of this type of treatment is that your clients actually prefer to be in and out rather than taking the full time!

Treatment costs between £2.50 and £5.00, and the average charge is around £30-£40.

Course Content.

My course is thorough yet fun and students always leave feeling like they can do a 3-5 models and then face whoever gets on their couch. You will cover:

• Health and Safety and and legal practices

• Client consultation and effective communication

• Types of waxing shapes and techniques

• Suggested treatment timings and costings

• How to recognise contra-indications and methods of referral

• How to recognise and deal with skin reactions (contra-actions)

• Equipment and materials used in the treatment and hygiene, care and maintenance

• How to carry out the intimate waxing services in the range safely and correctly

• How to provide the correct aftercare advice

• Practical demonstration and application on 2 models (and we don’t do “all fours”!)

• Models supplied for the day, alongside students working on each other

Course Requirements.

Students must hold a basic waxing qualification – NVQ level 2 or equivalent.  It is also recommended, but not essential that students become familiar with hot (non-strip) wax prior to the day.

Students are expected to wax each other and have at least two week’s hair growth from shaving, and four weeks from waxing.  If students cannot be, or do not wish to be waxed a model may need to be provided.

All genders are welcome to train on all courses. Yep, I teach men and non-binary folk to do intimate waxing. (You will always be asked if you wish to be waxed by a man - I always reach out before the class and if you don’t, we do models only).
