What is included in the Pinkfishes Strip Wax Starter Kit?
The kit includes your choice of Lagoon or Shell Soft Gelee Strip Wax, 100 Waxing Strips, 100 Waxing Spatulas, a 400ml Pre-Waxing Cleansing Spray and your choice of either a 400ml After Wax Lotion or 400ml Pre & After Wax Oil.
What is the difference between Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax?
Both waxes have a gelee formula, allowing for thin and smooth application. The main difference between the Lagoon and Shell Soft Wax is their colour and aesthetic appearance. With Lagoon featuring a turquoise iridescent finish and Shell featuring a pink iridescent finish.
What areas can the strip wax be used on?
Pinkfishes Soft Gelee Strip Wax is suitable for both large and small treatment areas, including the legs, arms, brows and upper lip.
Is the wax suitable for sensitive skin?
The Gelee formula is rosin and colophonium free, making it a great choice for clients with sensitive, ultra-sensitive or reactive skin. A full consultation and patch test should still be carried out where appropriate.
What is Gelee strip wax?
Gelee wax has a smooth, jelly-like consistency that glides easily across the skin. It can be applied in thin, even layers, helping to reduce product waste while supporting fast and precise hair removal.
Do I need to use wax strips with this wax?
Yes. Lagoon and Shell are soft strip waxes and must be removed using suitable waxing strips. The kit includes 100 non-woven Waxing Strips.
How much wax is included?
The kit includes one 425g pot of either Lagoon or Shell Soft Gelee Strip Wax.
How do I prepare the skin before waxing?
Apply the Pre-Waxing Cleansing Spray to the treatment area and wipe the skin clean and dry. This helps remove surface oils and traces of skincare products before wax application.
Can I use the Pre & After Wax Oil before strip waxing?
Oil isn’t suitable for use prior to using strip wax, as too much may affect the strip wax’s grip to the skin and hair. For most strip wax treatments, cleanse and fully dry the skin before application using the Pre-Wax Spray.
What is the difference between the After Wax Lotion and Pre & After Wax Oil?
The After Wax Lotion provides a lightweight, moisturising finish. The Pre & After Wax Oil is ideal for helping dissolve and remove remaining wax residue while also leaving the skin feeling soft and conditioned.
Which aftercare option should I choose?
Choose the After Wax Lotion for a quick-absorbing, moisturised finish. Choose the Pre & After Wax Oil if you would prefer a versatile finishing product that also helps remove sticky wax residue.
Are the Waxing Strips reusable?
No. The strips are disposable and intended for hygienic single use during professional waxing treatments.
What are the Waxing Strips made from?
The strips are made from premium non-woven material. They are strong, flexible and designed to adhere effectively to strip waxes without tearing during removal.
Can the strips be cut into smaller sizes?
Yes. The strips can be cut where required for smaller or more detailed treatment areas, such as the brows or upper lip.
Can the spatulas be reused?
No. They are designed for hygienic single use and should be disposed of after treatment.
Do I need a wax heater?
Yes. A suitable professional wax heater is required to warm the 425g wax pot and maintain the correct working consistency. A heater is not included in the kit.
Does the kit contain everything needed for strip waxing?
The kit includes the main products needed for preparing the skin, applying and removing strip wax, and finishing the treatment. You will also need a suitable wax heater, PPE and any additional items required by your salon procedures.
Is the kit suitable for beginners?
Yes, the kit is suitable for qualified professionals and students completing recognised waxing training. Anyone carrying out treatments on clients should have appropriate practical training and insurance.
Is this kit suitable for professional salon use?
Yes. The kit has been created to provide professional waxers with the core products needed for efficient strip waxing treatments.
Are the cleansing and aftercare products fragranced?
Yes. The Pre-Waxing Cleansing Spray, Pre & After Wax Oil and After Wax Lotion have a tropical coconut fragrance.
