Did You Know the Difference Between Strip and Non-Strip Wax?
Strip wax (also called soft wax) is applied in a thin layer and removed with non-woven fabric or paper strips. It’s the go-to choice for large areas such as the legs, arms, back and chest, and works especially well with roller wax cartridges for quick and hygienic salon treatments.
By contrast, hard wax (non-strip wax) is applied in a thicker layer and removed without strips. It grips only the hair, not the skin, making it the preferred option for sensitive areas such as the bikini line and brazilian waxing, or underarms and face.
For salons seeking a natural alternative, sugar wax offers gentle hair removal with eco-conscious formulations.
Whatever your technique, always combine waxing with pre & post wax care to protect the skin, and use professional waxing accessories to ensure safe and hygienic treatments.
