Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned brow professional, getting the perfect wax consistency is key to achieving clean, precise results.
To help you get the best out of your London Brow Luxury Silk Warm Wax, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive about working with warm wax.
Q: What’s the Best Temperature for Waxing Brows with Warm Wax?
A: For perfect brow waxing, it’s all about finding the right temperature. We recommend heating the Luxury Silk Warm Wax to around 70-80°C (158-176°F). At this temperature, the wax should be smooth and easy to apply but still firm enough to grip the hairs effectively.
If your wax feels too sticky and doesn’t spread easily, it might be too cold. On the flip side, if it’s not sticky enough and doesn’t adhere to the hairs properly, it’s likely too hot. Make small adjustments to the temperature, and always test a bit of wax on your wrist or the client’s arm to ensure it’s at the right consistency.
Pro Tip: If you're working in a cooler environment, you might need to slightly increase the temperature to keep the wax warm and easy to work with throughout the treatment.
Q: How Can I Avoid Wax Drips or Strings During Application?
A: Drips and strings can be frustrating when working with warm wax, especially around delicate areas like the brows. To prevent this, make sure you’re not overloading your spatula with too much wax. Dip it into the wax, then rotate the spatula a few times to remove excess wax before applying. This should give you a smooth application with minimal mess.
If the wax still feels too stringy, it might be too cold. Stir it well and heat up for a few moments before applying again.
Q: How Should I Prepare the Skin Before Applying Warm Wax?
A: Prepping the skin is just as important as the waxing itself. Make sure the brow area is clean and free from oils and makeup before you start. We recommend using a pre-wax cleanser to ensure the skin is completely clean. This will help the wax adhere to the hairs, not the skin, and prevent any unwanted reactions.
If your client has oily skin or sweats easily, applying a light dusting of talcum powder can help absorb moisture and protect the skin.
Q: How Can I Ensure the Wax Removes All the Hairs in One Go?
A: Achieving a clean strip is all about technique. When using warm wax, make sure you’re applying a thin, even layer in the direction of hair growth. Hold the skin taut to prevent it from pulling, then apply a strip over the wax and press firmly to ensure good adhesion. Pull the strip off in one swift motion, in the opposite direction of hair growth, while keeping it as close to the skin as possible.
If some hairs remain, you may need to tweeze these as you cannot rewax with warm wax, this can cause wax grazing.
Q: What Aftercare Should I Recommend to Clients Post-Waxing?
A: After waxing, it’s important to soothe and calm the skin. We recommend using a post-wax oil or soothing lotion to reduce redness and irritation. It’s also important to remind clients to avoid touching the waxed area and keep away from heat (such as saunas, steam rooms, or hot showers) for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
For long-term care, clients should avoid oil-based products on the brow area, as these can affect the results of the waxing and potentially clog pores.
Q: How Often Should I Clean My Wax Pot?
A: Keeping your wax pot clean is crucial for hygiene and ensuring the best results with each client. For busy salons, we recommend cleaning the wax pot at least once a week. Make sure to wipe down any wax residue on the outer parts of the pot and use a dedicated wax pot cleaner to remove any build-up inside.
If you're in a lower-traffic salon, cleaning every couple of weeks may be enough, but always monitor the cleanliness and quality of the wax regularly.

A: Our Luxury Silk Warm Wax is specially formulated for the brow area, ensuring precise and comfortable waxing for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
