Roller Wax Cartridges

How Does Roller Wax Compare to Other Waxing Methods?

Roller wax cartridges (also called roll-on wax) are designed for fast and hygienic application. The cartridge system ensures an even, thin layer of strip wax, making it ideal for large body areas such as the legs, arms and back. This method reduces waste, speeds up treatments, and maintains high standards of hygiene in professional salons.

Compared to traditional hard wax (non-strip wax), which is better suited for sensitive areas like the bikini line, underarms and face, roller wax is primarily chosen for efficiency and speed on larger zones.

For clients looking for a natural alternative, sugar wax offers eco-friendly results and a gentler approach to hair removal. Roller wax, however, remains the preferred choice when salons need quick, professional results across extensive areas.

To maximise results, always combine roller waxing with our pre & post wax care products to soothe the skin, and use disposable waxing accessories for a safe and professional application.

Common Questions About Roller Wax Cartridges

What are roller wax cartridges?

Roller wax cartridges, also known as roll-on wax, are pre-filled containers of strip wax designed for fast and hygienic application. The built-in roller head ensures an even layer of wax, making it ideal for large body zones such as legs and arms.

How do roller wax cartridges compare to hard wax?

Unlike hard wax (non-strip wax), which is applied in thicker layers and removed without strips, roller wax is always used with fabric or paper strips. This makes it faster and more efficient for large areas, while hard wax remains the best option for sensitive areas like the bikini line, intimate waxing, underarms or face.

Are roller wax cartridges hygienic?

Yes. Roller wax systems are designed for professional salon use. The cartridges are disposable, preventing cross-contamination, and can be combined with waxing accessories such as strips and spatulas for a fully hygienic setup.

Do I need a special heater for roller wax?

Roller wax cartridges must be used with a compatible wax heater. These heaters keep the cartridge at the right temperature, ensuring smooth application and client comfort throughout the treatment.

Can roller wax be used on all skin types?

Yes. Our Cirepil roller wax cartridges are formulated to suit different skin types, including normal, oily and sensitive skin. For clients with delicate skin or eco-conscious preferences, you may also consider sugar wax as an alternative.
