Q. How long should the hair be to achieve a successful waxing
treatment?
A. Ideally a minimum of 1/4inch or approximately 1cm. It is
important to understand that the hair grows in a three-stage
cycle and not all hairs are in the same cycle at the same time.
To remove as many hairs as possible in one treatment a client
needs to let as many hairs grow through as possible. If the legs
are waxed as soon as a few hairs appear, the skin will never be
free of hair. There are a number of clients who choose to have
their waxing treatments more regularly thus reducing the waiting
time when hairs grow. This is a good idea in the summer. In the
winter when it is easier to disguise the hairs the treatments
can be spaced out |

Depilation is
the term used when referring to temporary methods of hair
removal. Waxing is the removal of unwanted, superfluous hair
usually found under the arm, bikini line and legs. Actually any
part of the body can be waxed if requested. |

All areas
when waxed are prone to producing blood spots, particularly
under the arms and the bikini line, and all clients should be
aware of the risks associated with this. |
