PREPARE THE CLIENT AND WORKPLACE FOR WAXING
Learning Objectives:
Introduction
The lesson covers how to get customer ready, the
benefits and dis- advantage of waxing. Causing of our
unwanted hair, the types, purpose and what stimulate the
hair. Waxing is a method of hair removal that involves
the application of warm or cold wax to the skin and then
removing it, along with the unwanted hair, in one quick
motion.

Content
Benefits
Waxing has
several benefits
compared to other hair
removal techniques. It
is an effective method
to remove large amount
of unwanted hair at
one go. Hair growth in
waxed areas does not
happen for 2–8 weeks.
When hair is shaved or
removed using a depilatory cream, the hair is removed at
the surface rather than the root, and within few days, the
hair is visible on the surface. With these methods, hair

tends to grow back in rough stubble form. Areas that are

Dis-advantage of waxing
While waxing is a popular method of hair removal, it does
have some potential disadvantages.
1. Pain or discomfort: Waxing involves pulling hair out
from the root, which can cause varying degrees of pain
or discomfort, especially for individuals with
sensitive skin. The sensation of waxing can be
uncomfortable, particularly in more sensitive areas
such as the bikini area or face.
2. Skin irritation: Waxing can cause temporary skin
irritation, redness, or inflammation. This is more
likely to occur in individuals with sensitive skin or
those who have recently exfoliated or used certain
skincare products. However, these effects typically
subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
3. Ingrown hairs: Ingrown hairs can occur when new hair
growth becomes trapped beneath the skin after waxing.
This can lead to redness, bumps, and sometimes
infection. Regular exfoliation and proper aftercare
can help minimize the risk of ingrown hairs.
4. Waiting for hair regrowth: Unlike shaving, which can
be done as soon as stubble appears, waxing requires
hair to grow to a certain length before it can be
effectively removed. This means that you need to wait
for the hair to reach the optimal length, which can
be inconvenient for some people.
5. Potential skin burns: If the wax used for hair removal
is too hot or applied improperly, there is a risk of
burns to the skin. It's crucial to have the waxing
procedure performed by a trained professional to
minimize this risk.
6. Not suitable for certain conditions: Waxing may not
be suitable for individuals with certain skin
conditions, such as sunburn, rashes, open wounds, or
active infections. Additionally, individuals using
certain medications or undergoing certain treatments
(e.g., Accutane, Retin-A) may be advised against
waxing due to increased skin sensitivity.
It's important to note that these disadvantages can
vary from person to person, and some individuals may not
experience any adverse effects from waxing. Taking
proper precautions, choosing an experienced esthetician,
and following good aftercare practices can help minimize
the potential disadvantages associated with waxing.

Anatomy of Hair
The anatomy of hair consists of several structures
that make up each individual strand. Here's a breakdown of
the different parts of hair:
1. Hair follicle: The
hair follicle is a
small, tube-like
structure located
within the skin. It
surrounds the root of
the hair and provides
nourishment to the
hair strand. The hair
follicle contains
various components,
including the
papilla, matrix
cells, and sebaceous
glands.
2. Hair bulb: The hair bulb is the enlarged, club-shaped
base of the hair follicle that surrounds the papilla.
It contains actively dividing cells that contribute
to hair growth.
3. Papilla: The papilla is a small, cone-shaped structure
at the base of the hair follicle. It contains blood
vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the
growing hair strand.
4. Hair matrix: The hair matrix is a region of actively
dividing cells in the hair bulb. It is responsible for
producing the new cells that form the hair strand,
resulting in hair growth.
5. Hair shaft: The hair shaft is the visible part of the
hair that extends above the surface of the skin. It
is composed of three layers:
a. Cuticle: The cuticle is the outermost layer of the
hair shaft. It consists of overlapping, scale-like cells
that help protect the inner layers of the hair and
contribute to its strength and flexibility.
b. Cortex: The cortex is the middle layer of the hair
shaft. It makes up the majority of the hair's structure and
contains long, protein-rich fibers called keratin. The
cortex determines the hair's strength, elasticity, and
color.
c. Medulla: The medulla is the innermost layer of the
hair shaft, located in the center. It is not always present
in every hair strand and can vary in size and appearance.
10
The exact function of the medulla is still not fully
understood.
6. Hair root: The hair root is the part of the hair
located within the hair follicle beneath the surface
of the skin. It extends from the hair bulb to the
point where the hair shaft emerges from the skin.
7. Sebaceous gland: Sebaceous glands are attached to the
hair follicle and secrete an oily substance called
sebum. Sebum helps lubricate and moisturize the hair
and the surrounding skin.
Understanding the anatomy of hair can provide insight
into its growth cycle, structure, and the factors that
influence its health and appearance.
Purpose of having Hair
Hair serves various purposes, including:
1. Protection: Hair can act as a protective barrier against
external elements. For example, scalp hair can shield the
head from sunlight, UV radiation, and heat. Eyelashes and
eyebrows help prevent debris, sweat, and water from
entering the eyes. Nose hair filters and traps particles
in the air, preventing them from entering the respiratory
system.
2. Insulation: Hair, particularly body hair, can help
regulate body temperature by providing insulation. In cold
environments, hair traps a layer of air close to the skin,
which helps retain body heat.
3. Sensory perception: Hair follicles are connected to
nerve endings, making hair sensitive to touch and movement.
This sensitivity allows hair to act as a sensory organ,
detecting changes in the environment and providing
feedback.
4. Expression of identity: Hair plays a significant role
in personal expression and cultural identity. Hairstyles,
colors, and grooming choices can reflect individuality,
social affiliation, and cultural norms.
5. Sun protection: Hair, particularly scalp hair, can
provide some protection against harmful UV radiation from
the sun. It helps to shield the scalp, reducing the risk
of sunburn and protecting the underlying skin.
6. Communication and social signaling: Hair can be used for
communication and social signaling. Different hairstyles,
colors, and patterns can convey messages or indicate social
status, cultural belonging, or personal style.
11
7. Sexual attraction: Hair can play a role in sexual
attraction and mate selection. Cultural and personal
preferences for certain hair characteristics, such as
length, style, or texture, can influence attractiveness and
desirability.
It's important to note that the functions and
significance of hair can vary among individuals, cultures,
and contexts. While some people may value certain hair
characteristics, others may prefer different styles or
choose to remove or alter their hair for personal or
cultural reasons.
What Stimulates the Hair
Several factors contribute to hair growth and
stimulate the hair follicles. Here are some key factors
that play a role in stimulating hair growth:
1. Blood circulation: Adequate blood circulation is
essential for healthy hair growth. Good blood flow delivers
oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the hair follicles,
promoting their activity and growth. Regular scalp
massages, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle can help
improve blood circulation to the scalp.
2. Hormones: Hormones, particularly androgens like
testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), influence hair
growth. They stimulate the growth phase (anagen) of the
hair cycle and promote hair follicle activity. However,
imbalances or sensitivity to certain hormones can
contribute to hair loss or excessive hair growth.
3. Scalp health: A healthy scalp environment supports hair
growth. Maintaining a clean scalp free from excessive oil,
dandruff, or buildup can create an optimal environment for
hair follicles to thrive. Proper scalp hygiene, regular
cleansing, and using gentle hair care products can help
maintain scalp health.
4. Nutritional factors: Providing essential nutrients to
the body is crucial for healthy hair growth. Nutrients like
vitamins (e.g., biotin, vitamin D, vitamin E), minerals
(e.g., iron, zinc), and proteins support hair follicle
function. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean
proteins, and healthy fats can contribute to healthy hair
growth.
5. Genetics: Genetic factors play a significant role in
hair growth patterns, density, and overall hair health. The
genes inherited from parents can determine the growth phase
duration, hair thickness, and sensitivity to hormones,
among other factors.
12
6. Stress management: Chronic stress can disrupt the hair
growth cycle and lead to hair loss. Managing stress through
relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy
lifestyle can help support healthy hair growth.
It's important to note that individual experiences and
hair growth patterns can vary. If you have concerns about
hair growth or hair loss, it's advisable to consult with a
healthcare professional or dermatologist who can provide
personalized advice and guidance based on your specific
situation.
Completing Client Consultation
Conducting a proper client consultation is essential
to ensure a successful and satisfactory hair removal
service. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to conduct a
thorough and effective client consultation:
1. Greeting and introduction: Begin by warmly greeting
the client and introducing yourself. Make them feel
welcome and comfortable in the salon or treatment area.
2. Build rapport: Engage in friendly conversation to
establish a rapport with the client. Ask open-ended
questions and actively listen to their responses. This
helps create a comfortable environment and fosters trust
and open communication.
3. Client information: Obtain the client's personal
information, such as their name, contact details, and any
relevant medical history or conditions. Ensure that the
information is recorded accurately and kept confidential.
4. Determine client expectations: Ask the client about
their desired outcome and expectations from the hair
removal service. Discuss the specific areas they want to
target, the level of hair removal desired, and any
concerns or preferences they may have.
5. Assess hair and skin type: Evaluate the client's hair
and skin characteristics, including color, texture,
density, and sensitivity. This assessment helps determine
the most suitable hair removal method and any potential
risks or considerations.
6. Medical history and contraindications: Inquire about
the client's medical history, allergies, or any existing
medical conditions. Identify any contraindications or
precautions that may affect the hair removal service,
such as pregnancy, recent surgeries, or specific
medications.
13
7. Previous hair removal experiences: Ask the client
about their previous experiences with hair removal
methods. Inquire about any allergies, adverse reactions,
or unsatisfactory outcomes they may have encountered.
This information helps tailor the approach and select the
appropriate products or techniques.
8. Skin sensitivities and allergies: Determine if the
client has any known allergies, sensitivities, or skin
conditions. This knowledge is crucial to choose suitable
products and minimize the risk of adverse reactions or
skin irritations during the hair removal process.
9. Client concerns and questions: Encourage the client to
share any concerns, questions, or doubts they may have
regarding the hair removal process, pain levels,
aftercare, or any other related issues. Address their
concerns with patience and professionalism, providing
clear and honest explanations.
10. Explain the procedure: Clearly explain the hair
removal procedure, including the chosen method, the steps
involved, and the expected results. Describe any
sensations or discomfort the client may experience during
the treatment.
11. Consent and disclaimer: Provide the client with a
consent form that outlines the treatment details,
potential risks, and limitations. Ensure they read and
understand the form before signing it, indicating their
informed consent to proceed with the hair removal
service.
12. Aftercare instructions: Thoroughly explain the
necessary aftercare instructions to the client. Cover
topics such as skincare, sun protection, avoiding certain
activities or products, and any specific recommendations
based on the chosen hair removal method.
13. Pricing and scheduling: Discuss the pricing structure
of the hair removal service, including any packages or
discounts available. Help the client schedule the
appointment for the hair removal treatment based on their
availability.
14. Follow-up and communication: Provide the client with
your contact information and encourage them to reach out
if they have any additional questions or concerns before
or after the treatment. Express your willingness to
address any post-treatment inquiries promptly.
Remember to approach the consultation with
professionalism, empathy, and a client-centered approach.
14
Active listening, clear communication, and attention to
detail will help ensure that the client's needs and
expectations are understood and met throughout the hair
removal process.
Health, Hygiene and Safety Legislation
