tanning and waxing the same day? - tanTALK

homebeach · 01-17-2007, 08:03 AM

we are just starting to have waxing at our salon ;

totally new to
this
we have acertified waxer , but still we don`t want to just go by what she says .
can a person be waxed , and tan the same day ?
if so , do they wax first , or tan first ? should tingle be a no , no ?

do you charge for the waxing first , or wait till after . our girl said alot of time while in the room , the person will most of the time ask to "wax this while i`m here"
then we`d have to make them break out the charge card again . or they just try to get the girl to do it for free , or for a bigger tip
we don`t want our waxer to have to squabble with a customer over money

how do you pay your waxer , we want to pay by the waxing , but don`t know what percentage ( she says the norm is 50%)
any info anyone can give us would be helpful

Tanning after waxing

They should not do it in the same day.

Waxing prior to tan can cause some serious irritation issues if you tan afterwards. Usually recommend 24-48 hrs then they can tan, but depending on the type of waxing could be longer...I personally have seen a client come in the salon after a wax/peel. She was already irritated from the procedure and had some skin that looked like light sunburn. So... with this said.. I so check with manufacture/educator of product.

This should solve your $$ issue.

If you have a certified waxer should they nor know and if not do you need a different certified waxer?

Tanning and waxing in the SAME DAY?! ~Oh, the humanity ... ~

waxing and tanning are not a good mix.

mr belvedere · 01-17-2007, 10:55 PM

Oh! Did they mean "WAXING" and tanning? ~My bad~ hehe

If you tan less than a day before a waxing, it may take the skin off leaving raw skin exposed.
If you tan less than a day after waxing, you may burn exposed skin.

A qualified Esthetician will now allow tanning the same day. You clients will understand that you have their best interests at heart!
