TIP: It is recommended to use both Hot Wax and Strip Wax in the studio. It is best to use two heaters, one for hot wax and one for strip wax. This makes sense if you have customers who want to have large and small areas waxed at the same time. This way you don't have to change the wax in between and can work effectively and cost-saving.
