Waxing larger bodies
Hi, licensed esthetician—not technically solo, but the only esti in a salon setting—I’ve been waxing for about 3 years, but am finding myself in need of some advice regarding Brazilian waxing, specifically on larger bodies. In school, we only learned Brazilian theory and watched some videos, but never got to practice. All additional learning and practice has been done in my own with the help of friends and online educators. I feel pretty confident in my basic Brazilian technique, but I struggle with larger bodies, even though I’m in one, myself. I struggle with navigating how to hold a panniculus taught and how to smoothly labia and butt strips when clients have limited range of motion. I’ve tried a few different techniques and positions, but I worry about getting consistent results while also making my client’s comfort my top priority. Any advice would be appreciated.
