A Professional's Guide to Our Products

The use of products by MY WAXING SYSTEM by Dominique Hermes?

1. BEFORE WAXING (PRE-TREATMENT)

Step 1:
Examine the skin.
Use our Consultation Card and use waxes accordingly.
When the hair is too long, trim or cut the hair before waxing. The ideal length is ¼th of an inch.

Step 2:
Use our Antiseptic Brazilian Wash prior to waxing treatment. (Also in retail!)
Excellent for bikini hygiene and treats ingrown hairs
Esthetician must wash her hands before every waxing service. If possible, wash hands in the same room as the client.

Step 3:
Use our Pre-Epil Spray or Pre-Epil Gel to prepare and disinfect the skin.
Pre-Epil Spray (Contains Denatured Alcohol and Tea Tree Oil)
Spray on to treat areas.
LET PRODUCT DRY before using our Pre-Wax Powder.

Or
Use our Pre-Epil Gel - Softer formula than Pre-Epil Spray. (Contains Denatured Alcohol and Tea Tree Oil)
LET PRODUCT DRY before using our Pre-Wax Powder.
Both are strong antiseptics, provide anti fungus care, and help to repair skin.
Pre-Epil Gel is ideal to prepare the skin for facial waxing. Massage into skin gently.
LET PRODUCT DRY before using powder or wax

Step 4:
Use our Pre-Wax Powder to remove moisture off the skin. (not used for facial hard wax hair removal)
(Contains purified powder; Italian talcum powder, in a very small grain).
Use a little powder, spread out over the whole skin area that you want wax.

TIP: If doing a facial wax with Hard Wax (for sensitive skin), don't use Pre-Wax Powder prior facial waxing. Facial waxing can be started when Pre-Epil product is dry.

2. WAXING TREATMENT
Step 5:
For large area such as legs, arms, and back we recommend using strip wax, as this is a fast and reliable way to remove the hair. In this case, you should use our A+ Wax (Blue for women / Black for men). Heat the wax in our 500cc or 1000cc Heater at 155°F - 160°F (normally around the Medium setting). Put wax on in the direction of the hair growth with a Wooden or Metal Spatula, cover the wax with a Paper or Muslin Waxing Strip and pull the Strip against the direction of the hair growth.

Brazilian Hard Wax in Blue or Black
Hard Wax in Red for Facial Hair Removal
Brazilian Hard Wax (Blue or Black) is a high quality wax made of Hydrogenated Pine Rosin (Contains vegetable and mineral oils). No risk of rosin allergic reaction for client.

THIS WAX IS A MUST IN EVERY SALON. MY WAXING SYSTEM uses only Brazilian Hard Wax for Bikini, Brazilian and Underarm waxing - it works perfectly!
For facial waxing, the skin condition will determine to choose Strip wax or Red Hard wax (for sensitive skin). Our hard wax is safer to use in case of sensitivity of the skin.
Our Hard Wax can be used 2 times (even more) on the same areas. Just press wax back onto hair growth to pick up fine hairs that may have been missed on the first pull.
Put wax on in the direction of the hair growth, pull the wax off against the direction of hair growth.

When the hairs are very long:
- Trim hairs carefully a little with scissors, then begin wax Pre-Treatment.
OR
- Trim slightly with a trimmer.

A+ Strip Wax for Hair Removal
A+ Wax (strip wax, also known as Soft Wax. Blue for women and Black for men)
- Push the hairs gently flat to the skin while putting on the wax.

For Facial waxing such as: Eyebrows, Upper Lip, Chin, Hair Line, and Cheeks we recommend our NEW FACIAL HARD WAX (Red brick wax). Hard Red FACIAL wax is perfect for facial waxing, safe and easy! This is a high quality wax. (Contains Hydrogenated Pine Rosin, vegetable and mineral oils). There is no risk of rosin allergic reaction for clients. Use this hard wax without the need for waxing strips and can be applied in a thin layer.

Always make sure to keep your spatula moving while applying the wax to the skin!

Tip: Our Disposable Wooden Spatulas are great for smaller areas for applying wax under arms.

In Between Waxing Treatments
Step 6:

Always use our Hamamelis Lotion (Spray) between waxing treatments. It's a natural disinfectant that will also refresh the skin. (Contains Hamamelis extract). This product is not oily and does not prevent further waxing. Let dry before applying additional wax.

3. AFTER WAXING (AFTER-TREATMENT)
Step 7:

Use our Blue Oil to relax the skin and to remove any wax residue left on the skin. (Contains Mineral Oil & Alpha Bisbolol). Blue Oil repairs the skin. Also contains Azulleen & Camomile to help relax the skin. Softens dry & sensitive skin types.

Step 8:
Cool Crème (Also in smaller Retail size!). Apply Cool Crème in a light massaging motion to help cool and calm the skin. (Contains Camphor and Menthol). Camphor and Menthol disinfect, protect, and help to prevent against redness on the skin.
