Waxing is an extremely personal experience as it involves someone touching you in some of your most delicate parts. As a professional waxer, you’re responsible for making this experience as positive as possible, and to do that you need some information from your clients.

There is also medical information that’s important for you to know before starting your waxing session. For example, if a new client is taking blood thinners they’re more prone to bleeding and may not be an ideal candidate for a waxing session, or at least be aware of that before waxing.

A person may be allergic to your body waxing supplies other than the wax itself, like the latex in your gloves, you need to know that ahead of time so you can use a vinyl pair.  

Here’s a list of information you should collect before waxing any client.

 Personal Information

This may seem obvious, but it’s important to ask for your client’s name, phone number, address, and email address so that you can contact them in the future with your newsletter, special offers, and information about upcoming events.

 An Emergency Contact

This is a vital piece of information. Just in case anything happens during your waxing session, you need someone to call for assistance. This should be an unlikely scenario, but it’s part of running a waxing business.

 Current Product Use

There are certain products, like lotions containing retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acid that can make the skin extra sensitive. This in turn may result in a more painful waxing session for your client if they have used any such products before getting waxed. It can also be an opportunity for you to use alternative body waxing supplies, like the Depimiel Hard Wax Aloe Vera at Best Beauty Solution, which is used at a lower temperature and suitable for delicate skin.

 Medical History

As we mentioned before, there are some medications that can make a potential client unsuitable for waxing. This includes acne medications, blood thinners, prescriptions for autoimmune diseases and more. It’s also important for you to know if a client has had recent laser skin treatment, has a history of rashes, or is currently pregnant so you can use the proper body waxing supplies to limit skin irritation and provide stellar results.

 Waxing History

If you have a client who is completely new to waxing, it’s important that you know this as their waxer so you can take the time to explain the process as you work and make extra efforts to help them feel comfortable. This will help them feel relaxed with the process and will help build a trusting relationship between you and your client.

As a professional waxer, you need to know about your client in order to do your job. This starts with asking some questions during an initial consultation. This also gives new clients a chance to ask you anything they might be wondering about. Once you’ve collected their information and know their waxing goals, it’s time to get to work.

But before you can do any of that, you need to make sure you’re fully stocked with the waxing supplies you need.
