Waxing

Waxing is one of the most commonly used hair removal methods, based on the mechanical removal of hair together with the hair root. The treatment allows for smooth skin on both the face and body, and with regular performance leads to gradual weakening of the hair structure and extended regrowth time.

This lesson provides comprehensive preparation for working with both hard and soft wax in female and male waxing treatments. Participants learn client qualification principles, skin preparation, wax application and removal techniques for different treatment areas, post-treatment care, and the most common mistakes made during waxing procedures.

The learning process includes theoretical content, instructional video materials, step-by-step guidance, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants to safely and effectively perform professional waxing treatments in clinical practice.
