BRAZILLIANS....HELP!

I worked in a salon that only used hard wax for entire area...Then I have been working on my own....a girl that goes to a master waxer (5-6 min brazillian) said her esty used strip wax for the entire area...no hard wax....and would put first alcohol all over then powder....

I feel like I am bound to rip someones skin off if I did it this way!!!....Ive used Lycon-I found it to be brittle....hard to work with (but my fellow estys who worked at same spa I used to thinks it is the absolute best....

I am using Caron wax....It is super flexible hard (stripless) wax, but for the life of me will NOT get the hair up!!! What is going on!!! HELP! I really want to get this down!! That wax was the "best" wax too!! WTH..........

One girl I did for free...someone who wasn't really close to me..said she was rashed out after...but that might not be my doing....Whenever I use the stripless it seems more painful, and whenever I use soft w strips it seems like I may rip skin off....

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE AWESOME...

I think that the 5 min Brazilian is a guideline. I'm sure that they pay attention to detail a nd d not miss hairs.

My two-cents. 

1. The effectiveness of the wax could be influenced by the humidity in the room, sweating of the person, etc. (moisture).

2. The use if of powder helps to offset the moisture.  From my understanding, the Alcohol will have a drying effect on the skin, and the added powder will prevent the wax from "adhering" to the skin.   

3 As a solo esty I prefer to use cerepil Blue wax (hard).  On occasion I've had to go back over an area lightly with honey just to clean up.  It took me a minute to figure out how Humidity could effect the wax performance.

I use Se Brazil Seven strip wax for the large areas and their Cocoa hard wax for the labia. They both work incredible and get every little hair off. I pretreat with their wipes and have had great results, 10-15 minutes max. Unless they are really hairy :o

Hi.  I have used both hard and soft wax.  For people with really coarse hair, hard wax seems to work best.  I do agree with other poster(s) about cleansing the area; and then applying an extremely thin layer of a good carrier oil when possible before the wax.  Otherwise, powder seems to work really well also.  The oil really does help protect the skin from being taken up and overly exfolliated.  My instructor taught us this method. It makes the process much less painful, and clients really do seem to appreciate it.
