WHAT ESTY SCHOOL DIDN'T TEACH US ABOUT WAXING

WHAT ESTY SCHOOL DIDN'T TEACH US ABOUT WAXING

Today we are talking all about what Esthetician school didn't teach us about waxing. Unfortunately, waxing is not highlighted as much in school and can be so intimidating to someone who wants to develop a career as a Wax Specialist. There are many areas of waxing that would have been helpful to learn in school, so we decided to share our knowledge and some key things that has helped us in our career so far.
