Waxing is a go-to service at hair salons, day spas and other esthetics businesses. Since many clients book monthly or bi-monthly appointments to keep up their results, offering body waxing can help build a steady, profitable client base.
HICI Go offers accessible online courses for people across Florida and the U.S., teaching the fundamentals of body waxing technique and aftercare. Body waxing is just one of many on-demand skincare courses available, alongside select live, in-person instruction.
Here's a closer look at the different types of body waxing and what it offers clients.
Body waxing is a proven method for removing unwanted hair from the face or body. Wax is applied to the skin, then removed along with the hair attached to it. Trained estheticians offer this service across a wide range of areas.
Facial waxing typically covers:
Clients also seek waxing for other areas of the body, including:
At-home kits exist, but working with a trained esthetician usually means more thorough, less painful results. Depending on the treatment area, estheticians choose between hard wax and soft wax.
Hard wax bonds to the hair rather than the skin and hardens on its own, so it comes off without paper or fabric strips. Since it doesn’t lift the top layer of skin, it’s gentler and often a better fit for sensitive skin.
Soft wax is applied with a spatula and removed using a strip of muslin or similar fabric. It tends to work better than hard wax on larger areas like the legs or back, where hard wax can break apart. Hard wax generally handles coarse, stubbly hair well, while soft wax suits finer hair and speed waxing services.
Some clients wax monthly, while others book only occasionally, like ahead of a special event. Compared to other hair removal methods, waxing offers real advantages:
Some discomfort is normal, though most clients find it lessens with regular waxing. Estheticians can ease post-wax discomfort with a cool compress and gentle moisturizer and clients can also take over-the-counter pain relief beforehand if needed.
Anyone curious about body waxing, student or professional, can enroll in one of HICI Go’s continuing education courses.
