"Having a variety of different waxes is very good to have and can help you get the best results possible, because there's so many different kinds of skin and different hair qualities. For example, there's this special wax that I like to use, for small crevice areas, such as nostrils or ears. And this one is rose in color, and it's a hard wax. When you apply this, it hardens and it gets cold, and you know it's ready to be removed when it gets cold. And then you use it as a tab and pull it off, and that is what is especially made for going into the crevice areas. Some other waxes are for different skin types. This here is, it's got zinc in it, and it's for sensitive skin areas. Could be the face, could be the bikini area. It is good wax for when the skin gets red or irritated. Another wax I have, I have lots of waxes, but right here is just three of them. Is a wax that's aromatherapy, it has some tea tree oil in it, and it is good for medium to coarse hair, and it is nice to be able to have the variety of waxes for even one person. The one part of their back could be using the medium to coarse hair, and then on the upper area, closer to the nape area, you'd have the sensitive skin and so you'd want to use the sensitive wax. Working with aromatherapy also is nice for the clients, and it helps them relax and it gives the nice aroma to the room."
