SUCCESSFUL Perron Rigot Waxing System Protocols

3 Steps of Preparation for Applying ALL Perron Rigot waxes 1. Always test the temperature of wax on the inside of your wrist. Wax should be close to body temperature for maximum client comfort. 2. Prepare the area to be waxed with Blue Lotion Cleanser while examining the direction of the hair growth. 3. Protect the skin by massaging a very small amount of Pre-dep oil or Natural Moisturizing Oil into the area to be waxed (one drop for the face and a few drops for larger areas). Always Blot with tissue to remove excess oil.

STRIP-LESS Wax Application For strip-less wax application we recommend the following: 1. Using a wooden disposable spatula, scoop a quarter sized amount of wax from the tin, smooth/scrape the underside of the spatula against tin, turn spatula several rotations to disconnect from the tin of wax and lessen dripping. 2. Deposit the entire amount of wax onto skin, using edge of spatula, spread and apply pressure in the direction of the hair growth. The narrow section of wax should be applied thin and even with a ridge around perimeter for easy wax removal. 3. Holding the skin taught, lift the ridge and remove the wax parallel and close to the skin in the opposite direction of hair growth. Be sure to allow time to let wax set before removal, body and room temperature may slow or speed the set up process for the wax. 4. For a True Beauty Treatment, complete the service by massaging Perron Rigot After Wax Gel, Moisturizing Lotion and/or Natural Moisturizing Oil for a cooling, soothing, and hydrating finish.

STRIP Wax Application For wax used with strips we recommend the following: 1. Using a wooden disposable spatula, scoop a small amount of wax, scrape/smooth the underside of the spatula against tin to lessen dripping, turn spatula several rotations to disconnect from the tin of wax and lessen dripping. 2. Deposit the entire amount of wax onto skin. Place the edge of the spatula at a 90° angle away from you, glide the spatula on an angle toward you in the direction of the hair growth. This method will ensure a thin, even application. 3. Using a non-woven strip and a light pressure, smooth the strip several times. While remaining parallel and close to the skin, remove strip quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth. To ensure client comfort, apply pressure to the area waxed. 4. To complete the service, apply Perron Rigot After Wax Gel, Moisturizing Lotion and/or Natural Moisturizing Oil for a cooling, soothing, and hydrating finish.
