About Wax
The three core categories of professional wax are hard wax (hot wax), strip wax (soft wax), and cartridge wax. Each serves a distinct purpose in your salon's treatment menu. Hard wax excels in sensitive zones where precision matters, strip wax speeds through larger body areas, and cartridge wax delivers mess-free efficiency for high-volume salons and mobile therapists.
Australian professionals overwhelmingly favour brands like Lycon, Caronlab, and Mancine for their reliable performance and skin-friendly formulations. These brands invest in research to deliver waxes that perform in Australian conditions, including hot summer humidity that can affect wax consistency. Choosing salon-grade wax isn't just about results; it's about protecting your professional reputation and your client's skin.

Wax FAQ
Consider your treatment menu first. If your salon does a lot of intimate waxing, invest in quality hard wax. For high-volume leg and arm waxing, strip wax or cartridges are more efficient. Most salons benefit from stocking at least two types of wax to cover their full service range. Factor in your climate too; some waxes perform better in humidity than others.
