Soft Wax VS Hard Wax
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
One of the most frequently asked questions in the waxing world is what is the difference between soft wax vs hard wax? Well, where should we start!? First we only and HIGHLY recommend Mermaid Wax Next Generation Premium Hard Wax. I haven't use soft wax in years so I purchased soft wax for this demo. Soft Wax adheres to the skin, not the hair. You can only go over an area one time with soft wax, otherwise the skin can tear and come off with it. Soft Wax is applied VERY thin. If you apply it too thick it will be a pain in the butt to get off. Soft Wax also requires a strip to be removed. Hard Wax adheres to the hair, not the skin. This means you can apply multiple strips over the same area and the skin is safe. Hard Wax dries on its own so it doesn't need anything to remove it. Hard Wax is new technology and far superior from the sticky soft wax, in my opinion.

I never knew about the difference between hard and soft wax. I’ve only used soft at home for years. Early on I got dark spots from going over an area more than once. Definitely gonna try hard wax going forward. Thanks so much.

How I wish I found this video earlier. I’ve always been using soft wax….it’s pretty much the ONLY type of wax I know of. I didn’t even know there’s such thing as hard wax. This video is very very useful 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Omg I can’t wait to start school, and excited to know this going in! Thank you! Very educational 🙌🏻
Excellent review, I wish I would have seen this sooner LOL!! Fortunately, I only did a couple of test areas, now I know what to buy. Thanks you so much!! You are awesome at explaining all this.
Your videos are super helpful every time. Thank youuuuu!
Thanks so much for all this great information! Very thoroughly explained!
That was a GREAT description of both!! I shared with a friend because I sure wasn’t about to text how much better hard wax is compared to soft! I too was hooked after it was used on me! Life changing!

Love your videos! Can’t wait to get my mermaid wax in the mail! Unfortunately they only taught soft wax at my school. If it difficult to get used to using hard wax on small areas like eyebrows and upper lip etc? Thanks in advance! I’d love to see an eyebrow waxing tutorial
thanks i had a bad problem with skin lifting when i used soft wax so i am going to try hard wax.
Thank you for converting me to hard wax I'm so thankful ! And convinced 💕🤩 🕯️
Can you do a room tour of your treatment room? I’d love to see your stuff! Also where do you get all of your waxing tools like applicators, containers, organizers.....
Thank you for letting me know about this
Awesome explanation of this! Gonna go with hard wax.
I've used both hard wax and soft wax and I prefer soft wax. I am brown and I have really think hair. When I used hard wax as she said it grips on the hair, so when I pulled the wax it was sooooo painful. When I use soft wax it does not hurt. Hard wax leaves my skin red, I do not experience that with soft wax. When I got my legs waxed the person used soft wax, it wasn't painful and not at all sticky after it was done. Here is one my funny experiences with hard wax. Before using hard wax, I watched couple of her videos they were extremely helpful. I waxed my arms and armpit and it went fine, it was more painful than soft wax and I was red but could be worse. After trying it couple of times I was like I got a hold of this and I tried waxing my bikini area (bad idea). As I said before my hair is really thick. So I applied in at the very top and small area when I pulled it was extremely painful. I should have stopped there but my dumb a** was like let's try it one more time. I went a little lower than before and covered more area than before. I got the lip part of the hard wax and as I started to pull it was so painful. I stopped pulling after seconds and now there was a big patch of hard wax in my bikini area. I said to myself I am not pulling this. This is my life from now one. I will Iive with this hard wax on my bikini area forever. My bf came to check up on me and saw what was happening and he could not stop laughing. I somehow got the courage to pull it out and that was one of the most painful waxing experience of my life.

I’ve had a Brazilian with both and now will only get the V done with soft! Also, another word for lifting the skin would be exfoliating.
I have the hard wax at home, I will say because I have thick hair follicles it does hurt but regardless it does get the job done
My daughter hates hard wax. The waxers left keloids during Brazilian. Horrible!!! So now I take her to my lady who only works with soft wax and we love her❤️❤️❤️. I will recommend her 1000 times for ladies with darker skin. My daughter is mix Black and Mexican.
So informative. Thanks for this.

I got the soft wax just today. What I learned was: 1.) You NEED to glide soft wax on very thinly, too much will not pull out hairs, but make it very gooey/sticky and a wasted cloth strips. 2.) You need to get the Numbing spray/cream. It helps. 3.)Get an extra bottle of Wax Remover. Get cloth-like paper towels(not the cheap tissue paper-y kind,thicker is better, trust me). Soft wax is like trying to get thick honey off. The remover softens this up so it wipes of easily. 4.) If buying the Trial sizes kit, buy more strips. There’s plenty in the kit, extra is more preparation. 5.)You need the powder. I still had a few hairs left, I think that powder is necessary. I’m going to pick it up tomorrow along with the Slow Grow that slows down re-growth. 6.) pre cleaner before you start anything smells basically like isopropyl alcohol. 6.) Buy extra wooden sticks for applications. Don’t Double Dip. Hairs WILL get into your pot. Contamination. But if it’s just you, I guess whatever you choose. BUY MORE STICKS, though. -if I learn more about this personally, I’ll edit this. I haven’t tried the hard wax, I bought the beads but my kit is soft wax and the can it came with is soft wax, I didn’t know I had to buy an empty van for the hard wax beads for the wax heater-thing. I also need to look into how to clean a hard wax can after use, after I use only what I need, then sanitize for next use.

Of course you can use the rest of the wax. Just be sure to use a different paddle stick each time you get wax to apply on your client. That way you don’t put a used (contaminated... dirty) paddle stick back into the clean wax. That way there can’t be any cross contamination. Hope that helped.
This just happened to me... Waxer must have gone over it twice bc she pulled my skin off. I left the salon with bandages
So this is why every time I waxed my eyebrows and especially upper lip I would be red for DAYS and then break out in almost like a rash with tons of tiny bumps. By the time the bumps would finally disappear the hair was already growing back. I had no idea there were different types of wax. After seeing this I realize it was soft wax and I was ripping skin off!!! I haven’t waxed in years because of the rashes and breakouts!! I’ve grown so tired of shaving I am considering waxing again but doing my research first!! Tried sugar waxing yesterday, it was a big fail 😂 Now I’m going to give hard wax a go! Thanks so much for this video, I learned a lot!!

She's right though, about offering clients the hard wax and them being more likely to come back. I tried waxing professionally. It was expensive, it hurt, and it didn't get all the hair (they used soft wax). So, I went on Amazon and bought an entire hard wax kit for less than a bikini wax and it hurts less and I do just as good a job.

are there certain areas that soft and hard wax should be used or can you preform a whole body wax including face with all soft and or all hard wax .
This is info I def needed before hand lol like ,before I ripped the first top layers of my skin lol 😂 also thank uuuu for your bikini wax vid ! It saved my life
What is your opinion on "painless wax"? I know it's not actually painless but I'm curious what you have to say on the matter. Also what heat should I apply my wax?
Can hard wax be used for eyebrows? I do men’s hair mostly and in my shop we have both soft and hard wax, we use the hard wax for nostrils and soft wax for brows. I would like to know if one is better for fine hair and one is better for coarse hair, and if I have a male client with very coarse thick brows would hard wax be the way to go? (I ask this bc sometimes when I use the soft wax on coarse thick brows it doesn’t all come up on the strip and sometimes is all gooey and less effective, maybe I’m applying the wax wrong but I would love to know this!!) thank you in advance ❤️ your videos are extremely helpful and thoroughly informative and I really appreciate your content!! ☺️
So helpful. Thank you SO much.

I love hard wax but unfortunately it doesn't get my fine hairs or hairs that are short. But do you know if the mermaid tins would fit in a 1lb wax warmer from stapril?
@EJS611

Mermaid wax actually comes in micro beads packaged in bags, you can easily fill a 1 pound insert tin with them and it'll work just fine that way. Thats what I do. And Mermaid WILL get the fine hairs just fine, still requires clean up strips but thats with all hard wax. The recommended hair length for waxing is a 1/4 inch anyways.

I've only ever waxed my eyebrows and upper lip and it prefer soft wax as you can be more precise with it and it gets the finer hairs. I'm going to try waxing my legs and other areas and I'll give hard wax a try first. The only place I've ever gone to for a full body wax always left me sticky and still full of hair using hard wax as well so I stopped going.
How can I book in for wax? Also do you do courses for people wanting to learn how to wax
Is it true it's better to press than rub? I thought rubbing with soft wax can damage the skin?
Thank you for explaining. 😘

What’s the difference between muslin strips and cloth strips? Are you able to use both with soft wax?
Is sugar supposed to be applied against the growth and pulled off with the growth ? My friend says her esthetician applies with the growth and removes against the growth , like waxing. I told her I had read and heard to apply against the growth and remove with the growth . My friend’s esthetician uses Alexandria Sugar and products . She’s been getting broken hairs after sugaring . I think it’s from improper technique. Thank you 😊
Can you share the link to purchase muslin stripes ? Not all websites are honest and I want to be sure I'm buying a good quality
Which one takes off more hair , i have been using soft wax for many years , tomorrow probably I'm going to try the hard one, i hope it will remove hair as much as the soft one does
What temperature do you guys keep your hard wax at when melted
Great video to tell the difference between the 2, but can you use the paper strip that you use to remove the soft wax on hard wax as well? Or will it not work?
at school our warmers suck and even on the lowest temp the hard wax is alwaysss way to hot and it’s so difficult to work with because i cant even get it to form a nice ball on the stick
Definitely sold me on hard wax. Taking my soft wax kit back to Sally’s today
Thanks for the perfect explanation ❤️😏 I bought hard wax beans😄
If I have the starpil professional wax warmer can I use a soft wax tin in it?
What if our leg hairs grow any way? I used to shave up and down before learning how to do it right.

So I live in India and I called Urban Company wax services home day before yesterday. After waxing I had red bumps all over the body and ofc that’s normal. I’ve been waxing for almost 10 years now soft wax. But yesterday I got a big ass blister w pus filled and redness and swelling on my left wrist and many white head papules all over the waxed area. And this was it. Also I am moving to US in 5 months for my MS so I was trynna figure out how will I wax myself there and what products to use. This came as such a help I cannot believe it !!!!

Is it true that the hair gets thinner over time with consistent waxing? Because my pubic hair is so thick it’s crazy… and I get a lot of ingrowns too… even if it just gets slightly thinner I’d be happy haha
I used hard wax and it was horrible cuz it was sticky like gumm when I pull it off it was camin in pieces not the whole wax strip it was in pieces.. did I did something wrong??? 🤔
Is hard or soft wax better for real thick back hair??

Then I did it on my armpits from excitement of the leg results and I freakin' hurt my skin lol there was even a couple drops of blood!! And it didn't even get the hair out and it was messy af.

u can but it would be useless, since u plucked the hair from the roots. Wait until you hair begins to grow and shave before the laser treatment. The reason for that is because the laser is looking for the darkest pigment in your skin, which is usually your hair follicles
