Double Dipping / Brazilian Waxing

Brazilian Waxing and all other parts too:
• Technician should wash hands before service
• Technicians should always wear gloves
• Wax sticks should be single use only (looks like tongue depressor); never reused. This means once the stick has been in the wax pot and applied to your skin, it is now contaminated.
• All items must be disinfected or discarded
• The wax in not hot enough to kill any STD’s, HIV etc.
