Which is the Best Waxing Kit for Your Client Volume?

Knowing the volume of business you have can help you choose the best wax warmer kit to suit your needs. The volume of business you have depends on how many services you provide a day, or how many clients you see. 

If you’re just starting in your career or maybe only perform waxing services here and there, chances are you won’t necessarily have a high service volume. 

For long-time and full-time waxers, you’ll know if your new station or kit refresh should serve an exponentially larger client volume or tackle the overflow from your growing business.

No matter which type of esthetician you are, whether you perform house calls, or have a multi-room salon, any esthie type or level can choose a kit for the volume they currently have or anticipate having in the future. 

Oftentimes, this means going for a larger waxing pot than they currently have, and products that cater to a wider audience or clients with skin types outside of your general service realm. 

Having a vision and outlook like this when choosing a waxing kit can prove to be very beneficial in the short and long term; after all, if you foresee yourself and your business only growing over time, odds are that attitude will translate into real results!

What is the Best Waxing Kit?

If you’re just starting as an esthetician or have just started your own business, you’ll need to set yourself up for your current clients and for a future station you might set up. 

If refreshing your kit, think about which products you need to diversify your kit or tailor services to each skin, hair, and service type. To figure this out, ask yourself which hair, skin, and service types do or will you hope to cater to most. 

Your professional waxing kit should contain products that can serve a diverse set of needs when starting out. Products that can cater to many clients or services will be your go-to’s until you can afford to diversify a little more. 

For those already looking to diversify their kit, pinpointing your clients’ top needs will be an excellent way to go. Your new kit(s) should include products that focus on supporting the skin first and foremost; then, they need to contain formulas that tend to the hair and work well with your chosen service. 

If you choose to go with a Starpil waxing kit , we offer a wide array of kit sizes  to meet your various needs and even have an option for you to build your own kit to cater to your salon or business clientele .
