Eyebrow Wax step by step

1. Place a headband around your client’s hair and tuck any stray hairs away from their face.

2. Always cover your client with a towel to protect their clothes.

3. Have a bowl of water available to dampen your cotton pads and in case of sensitivity and the area may require cooling with cotton pad.

4. Using pre-wax lotion, clean their eyebrow area. You will need to make sure you have removed all petroleum jelly and the wax will not stick to the client’s skin. Pre-wax will also remove any oil that the skin naturally makes.

5. Test temperature of the wax on your wrist by dabbing a small amount of wax to the area. If it burns or feels to hot do not proceed until wax has cooled down and turn off your wax pot.

6. Measure eyebrows for shape.

The eyebrow wax

1. Using a small spatula apply the wax to the unwanted and stray hairs underneath the natural eyebrow shape and where you have measured out.

2. Keep in direction of the natural hair growth pattern.

3. Position a small cut wax strip over the wax. Gently stretch the client’s skin until it feels taught and pull the strip in one swift movement away from the natural hair growth. If using hot wax wait until the wax has set and pull a corner up and with a swift motion remove.

4. Always pull the strip in the opposite direction to the way the wax is applied to it.

5. Keep the wax strip as close to the skin as possible do not pull up!

6. Always disposed of wax strip immediately after use.

7. Any unwanted hairs need to be plucked with tweezers never wax again over area.

8. Once client is happy with desired shape apply a soothing after wax lotion to the area. Repeat above process with the second brow.
