Roll with it!

Roll-on liposoluble wax has revolutionised the business of waxing. Salons are able to offer better waxing services to their customers. Professional Beauty India connected with Esskay Beauty Resources for a lowdown on the benefits of using Rica roll-on wax versus traditional waxing practices.

Roll-on liposoluble wax is a system of waxing that makes use of a portable cartridge for wax application. Instead of the traditional dip and spread method, the cartridge involves direct application of melted wax onto the skin in the direction of the hair growth. The cartridge is required to be heated in a roll-on wax warmer and the application is done without the use of spatula. Once the wax combination is spread thinly over the skin through the roll-on, a TNT wax strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair.

Roll-on wax appliances are one of the most popular and widely used ones in India today. This method is gaining traction because of the following reasons: 1. Ease of use 2. Less messy 3. No spillage 4. Quicker service 5. More hygienic 6. No special training required

The single use cartridge is used only on one customer, making it the safest method available in the market currently. The cartridges are also recyclable. As it does’t require any specific technical skill, it is easy to use both at the salon or at home.

The liposoluble wax range guarantees superior hair removal without irritation and allergen. It is gentle to the skin, thanks to the patented formula that contains glyceryl rosinate, vegetable oil, titanium dioxide, natural beeswax and zinc oxide.

Key reasons for using roll-on wax: no colophony: Rica does not use any colophony (rosin) in their wax products Vegetable oils: Vegetable oils present in the product do not hinder the superior adherence to the hair, but makes the process more soothing and less hurtful. natural formula: Liposoluble wax has 98% natural ingredients. superior tan removal: Rica wax removes tan and the dead cells, bringing shine and luminosity to the skin.

Apart from the many benefits that the roll-on wax offers to the end customers, it also favours the therapist in a couple of ways. To begin with the roll-on wax kit requires no maintenance, except basic cleaning and sanitising. In traditional waxing procedures, appliances such as wax heaters and the storage area also require regular cleaning as the usage might lead to messiness and stickiness.

For the therapist, it is important to cater to maximum customers during the day, and that can only be achieved if the waxing protocols are easy to follow and maintain. The roll-on wax application has a definite advantage over traditional methods due to ease of application, which reduces the service run time per customer. The wax application is much easier as the cartridge allows for even distribution of wax. This reduces the service time of each waxing session, allowing the therapist to attend to more customers. In traditional waxing methods, even distribution of wax is highly unlikely, especially while waxing large areas such as the back.

With rising customer awareness and demand for 100 per cent hygienic processes, roll-on wax is trending high in the salon business. Making a shift from traditional waxing methods to the roll-on one makes for the right business sense in the present times.
