What temperature should wax be when performing a waxing service?

For a successful waxing service, the wax should be heated to a temperature that is safe and effective for hair removal. When it is stated that the wax should be at body temperature, around 110°F, this indicates that the wax is warm enough to spread easily and adhere to hair without causing discomfort to the client. This temperature allows the wax to effectively grip the hair for removal while also ensuring that it won't shock the skin or cause burns.

Using wax that is too hot can lead to serious injuries, including burns, making it critical to avoid temperatures that could damage the skin. Conversely, wax that is at room temperature or cold won't adhere well to the hair and can result in ineffective hair removal, causing the treatment to fail or be unsuccessful. Therefore, maintaining the proper temperature range ensures both the comfort and safety of the client while achieving the desired results.
