Why is Lycon Wax recognized as painless wax?
Prior to using Lycon Hot Wax, Pre-Waxing Oil is applied to the area and acts as a barrier between the skin and the wax.
Therefore, the wax is able to shrink-wrap tightly around the hair and not stick to the skin, reducing client discomfort.

How do I heat the hot and strip waxes?
Lycon Hot Waxes and Lycojet Waxes are packaged in 1kg/35oz blocks. To break up a block, place into a freezer bag
and seal. Next, simply drop the block on a hard surface or hit with a mallet. The block will break into small
pieces and can then be stored in the freezer bag or in an appealing glass jar, as shown in this brochure.
Lycon Strip Waxes are packaged in 550g/18oz plastic containers. The containers can be warmed in the microwave and then
poured into our Wax Heater Inserts. Or place the Strip Wax container directly into the Lycomini Wax Heater.

What is the difference between Lycon Hot Wax and Lycojet Wax?
Both Lycon Hot Waxes and Lycojet Waxes are very gentle and can remove hair as short as 1mm. Lycojet Waxes are applied
at 1/3 the thickness of Lycon Hot Waxes. Therefore, less wax is used per treatment, making Lycojet a more economical
alternative for hot waxing.
|
What temperature should I use for the Hot and Strip Waxes?
All wax warmers heat differently, so it is best to warm the wax based on consistency versus temperature. As a
general guideline, initially heat the Hot and Lycojet Waxes to 212oF and then turn down to 131' F for constant heating.
Maintain strip waxes at 174'F. The consistency should be like thin honey.
|
What is the best technique to use Lycon Strip Wax?
The Lycon Strip Wax application is very thin. Holding the Metal Spatula or disposable spatula of your choice at a
90 degree angle to the body, spread wax as thinly as possible using reasonable pressure in the direction of hair
growth. It is important to spread the wax very thinly and evenly. Place a Gentle Waxing Strip at a slight angle
on the wax, rub firmly, and remove briskly against the direction of hair growth. Soothe with your choice of Lycon
Post-Wax Products.

I’m having trouble with the Hot Wax. Why is it breaking when I remove it?
Incorrect application is typically the cause for breaking. Follow these instructions for Lycon Hot Waxes and Lycojet Waxes.
After cleansing the skin with Lycotane Skin Cleanser, massage a light application of Pre-Waxing Oil to the area.
While holding the skin taut, firmly apply hot wax with and against the direction of hair growth using a wooden spatula.
Using firm pressure will create smooth and even edges. Make long oval shapes no thicker than the width of 3 fingers.
When the wax is still pliable but no longer tacky, remove with a flexible wrist using a strong, confident pull.
