Hi Sophie.

I read a suggestion from an experienced esthetician re. Brazilian training. Train with a pro (for instance: an esti who performs this service without complications in 15-30 min.s). Do the wax together: the pro first demonstrates, then you go. In this way the pro can comment and help you develop good habits. So you alternate, taking turns. I thought this sounded like a very sensible way to train.

Personally, I can't imagine completing a Brazilian (Brazilian complete)  in 15 minutes. There are different ways estheticians approach this waxing. Some use all hard wax, some use soft wax/strips and then hard as you move into more sensitive areas (can speed up the process), some like to use sugaring on the mound area. Some use just soft wax/strips. You probably have a preferred system. Good luck!

thanks sally. i have had private instruction exactly like that for brazilians, but i have heard that there is this $200. special instruction video that shows some really different way to do it that people really love. not sure why it differs, but i'd like more information.

I ordered the Brazilian Wax training DVD and really improved my technique and timing.  www.LearnWaxing.com Professional Skin.

the site changed www.wax-training.com.   The wax link is also great for good prices on satin smooth wax.

Hi Sophie,

Well, that does sound interesting. Would love to know about ways that might be different and better, esp. if people are very positive about it. Can't quite think what could be the differences, but I'm interested.

 

Did you feel the private instruction was great for learning (assuming you had a great instructor)?

i had great, very experience teachers for my braz. training. one did hard wax, the other strip wax. i think that with anything, the more you read and see what others are doing, the better you can be. i think b/c peoples hair can vary that it can prove to be a challenge at times. or how they want it shaped. i know there must be tips that can help ease the process, and improve timing. i hear people say that they've had great brazilian's from people, not having had mine, and i wonder what makes it so great. i think that i will schedule some of my own apts from these people as a learning tool too. maybe i am doing exactly the same thing as they are. my clients seem happy, but i want to make sure that i am doing the absolute best possible.

I have never seen a man give a Brazilian. I will definitely have to purchase this video.

Yes, I was a little surprised - guess, I shouldn't necessarily be. He seemed very professional in the sample of the DVD I saw.

Sophie what are you looking for specifically?? Are you comfortable with your wax? Would you like to be faster? More consistent? Do you have your own style that you like? Even though I have trained many, many estys you eventually have to have your own technique and a wax that you are confident in.
