When you schedule an appointment with Waxi Taxi, you may not give much thought to what kind of wax we use. The type of wax your esthetician uses makes a huge difference in your experience, comfort, and results. We use 100% GiGi Azulene Infused Soft Wax for the majority of the services we offer, and there’s a reason why.
What’s The Difference Between Soft Wax and Hard Wax?
Even if you’ve heard the terms “soft wax” and “hard wax”, you may not understand the difference and why it matters.
Hard Wax is made to wrap around the hair as it cools and hardens. Then, once set, the esthetician removes it without a strip..
Soft Wax is applied in a thin layer and removed with a strip. This makes it effective for most areas and allows your waxing specialist to remove hair more quickly and efficiently.
At Waxi Taxi, we strictly use soft wax for most services because we’ve found it to be the most predictable, reliable, and easy to work with. Consistency matters, especially when you’re trusting someone with your skin, and we want our clients to have a product they know will provide the same smooth, glowy results.
Why We Use GiGi Azulene Soft Wax
Our preferred wax is GiGi Azulene Soft Wax. Azulene is a calming ingredient used to soothe redness, irritation, and sensitive skin. GiGi’s Azulene formula is designed to be gentle on the skin while simultaneously effectively removing hair, offering the perfect balance between getting rid of unwanted hair and soothing the surrounding skin. This wax is removed with strips of muslin, a lightweight, breathable cotton cloth.
When Do We Use Hard Wax?
Although soft wax is our primary wax, there are certain areas where hard wax makes more sense. For example, we use hard wax for areas such as the ears and nose. Those are smaller, more delicate areas where the wrapping properties of hard wax are especially useful. The key is to know which wax is appropriate for which areas.
The Wax Is Only Part Of Amazing Results
A good waxing experience isn’t only about the product, but also the proper preparation, technique, application, removal, and aftercare. We always choose products that help our team provide reliable, consistent results while keeping your skin in mind. GiGi Azulene-infused Soft Wax offers the best performance, while our specialists bring the experience needed to use it properly. This wax is one of the reasons we can keep driving away unwanted hair while keeping your skin smooth and refreshed.
