Professional waxers typically use hard wax or strip wax. Hard wax is applied in a thicker layer and is removed without the use of cloth strips, making it suitable for sensitive areas like the bikini line or face. Strip wax is applied in a thin layer and is removed with cloth strips, making it suitable for larger areas like the legs or back. Both types of wax are available in different formulas, such as those formulated for different hair and skin types, and can be heated to different temperatures. Professional waxers also use pre-waxing oils, post-waxing lotions, and other products to ensure a clean and comfortable waxing experience.
