In today’s world, it is all about ingredients… wax is no exception!
In today’s world, it is all about the ingredients. That does not just include what you put in your body but also what you put on it! Wax is no exception. According to Alex Arlotta, one of Waxing the City’s founders, Waxing the City uses different types of specially formulated wax. “We have two waxes that were formulated for specific body parts. Not all hair is created equally, and the sensitivity of our skin is different based on the area being waxed.”
Our Hard Wax vs. Soft Wax
At all of our studios, we use two different types of waxes. The difference between the two high-quality waxes comes down to the formulation and removal technique.
Our hard wax, which we call “Cera Naranja Orange”, is used for areas of the body where hair grows coarser. This includes areas like your face, bikini area, and underarms. Hard wax uses a shrink wrap and cooling method that helps with a smooth and seamless removal procedure. The removal process is done in smaller sections so that our Cerologists can be methodical in those areas where hair is more dense and multiple different hair growth patterns exist. Key ingredients in our hard wax include Azulene oil, which moisturizes and soothes your skin, and glyceryl rosinate, which helps the wax adhere to hair.
Our soft wax, or as we like to call “Cerasuave Yellow”, on the other hand, was created and formulated specially for the legs, arms, back and chest where the skin is a bit thicker, and hair is finer. Soft wax is much easier to spread and better able to adhere to even the finest hair on the body while also providing the smoothest possible results. Because this gentle wax formulation is specifically developed for “speed waxing”, it offers a quick and comfortable waxing experience. Some of the key ingredients in our soft wax include beeswax, rosinate, and Hibiscus fragrance. Beeswax is our secret ingredient in our soft wax. It helps to hydrate, condition, sooth, and calm the skin. It can also promote skin regeneration, diminish signs of aging, and sooth irritation.
How Our Wax Came to Life
Waxing the City founders Alex Arlotta and Summer Hartshorn Vasilas tested wax formulations for two years before they found the perfect one. As experienced esthetician experts, both Alex and Summer rooted their product development in the experience and from the perspective of technicians. They believed strongly that they could create a natural wax product that was loved by both Cerologists and clients and would ultimately lead to a premium waxing experience from start to finish.
What Makes Our Wax Special
Both of our wax formulations are designed to both minimize discomfort and eliminate hair breakage with their own specialized removal techniques. Between individual waxes, mapping techniques, and removal methods, these variables ensure that each client has the best possible waxing experience. Not only that, but both our hard and soft wax are animal cruelty-free. They’re great for sensitive skin and deliver consistent, exceptional results. What makes the waxing experience at any of our studios unique are our highly trained, wax specialists we call Cerologists. Each and every one of our Cerologists undergoes rigorous training to become the ultimate professionals at their craft.
No matter what service you book at our studios, you can guarantee that our specially formulated waxes, applied by our expert Cerologists, will provide the most comfortable and smoothest experience possible. If you’re a first-time waxer, say goodbye to any stress or fears. Our wax itself minimizes pain and discomfort. If you have any questions regarding our wax or the process behind your service, be sure to talk to your Cerologist. Since they’re the experts, they’ll be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have before your appointment. They’re even great at offering pre and post wax product recommendations, like our Waxing the City Pre and Post Wax Serums.
