Description
There are two main types of toes waxes:
- Basic toes wax:** This wax removes hair from the top and sides of the toes. It does not typically include the bottom of the toes or the in-between toes.
- Brazilian toes wax:** This wax removes all hair from the toes, including the bottom of the toes, the in-between toes, and the tops and sides of the toes.
Both types of toes waxes are typically done using hot wax, which is applied to the skin and then quickly removed, taking the hair with it. The process can be a bit uncomfortable, but it is usually quick and effective.
Here are the steps involved in a typical toes wax:
- The client will undress and sit or lie down with their feet up on a table or stool.
- The esthetician will apply a pre-wax lotion to the area to be waxed. This lotion helps to protect the skin and makes the hair easier to remove.
- The esthetician will apply hot wax to the area, using an application stick or by pouring the wax directly onto the skin.
- The esthetician will then quickly remove the wax, taking the hair with it. The esthetician will likely work on one toe at a time, applying and removing the wax from each toe before moving on to the next.
- The esthetician will apply a post-wax lotion to soothe the skin. This lotion may be cool or have a soothing scent like lavender.
The entire process usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
After a toes wax, the skin may be a bit red and irritated. This is normal and should go away within a few hours. The client may also experience some ingrown hairs. To prevent ingrown hairs, it is important to exfoliate the skin regularly and to wear loose-fitting shoes or sandals.
Here are some of the benefits of getting a toes wax:
- Smooth, hairless toes:** A toes wax will remove all hair from the area, leaving the toes smooth and hairless.
- Increased confidence:** Many people feel more confident when they know that their toes are hair-free.
- Reduced chafing:** Chafing can be a common problem for people who wear open-toed shoes or sandals. A toes wax can help to reduce chafing by removing hair from the area.
If you are considering getting a toes wax, it is important to find a reputable esthetician. A good esthetician will use clean, high-quality products and will take the time to make sure that you are comfortable. They will also be able to answer any questions that you have about the procedure.
Here are some additional tips for getting a toes wax:
- Schedule your appointment in advance.** Toes waxes are a popular service, so it is important to book your appointment in advance, especially if you are getting it done for a special occasion.
- Wear loose-fitting shoes or sandals to your appointment.** This will help to prevent chafing after the wax.
- Trim the hair in the area beforehand.** This will make the waxing process easier and less painful.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol before your appointment.** These substances can make the skin more sensitive.
- Exfoliate the area before your appointment.** This will help to remove dead skin cells and make the hair easier to remove.
- Moisturize the area after your appointment.** This will help to soothe the skin and prevent ingrown hairs.
- Be prepared for some discomfort.** The waxing process can be a bit uncomfortable, especially if you have sensitive skin. However, the pain is usually temporary and should go away within a few hours.
With proper care, the results of a toes wax can last for several weeks. If you experience any pain or discomfort after your wax, be sure to contact your esthetician.
Note: Toes waxes are not recommended for people with diabetes or poor circulation. These conditions can make the skin more prone to infection and other complications.
