Hot Waxing Diploma

Hot waxing is what it says on the tin. It is a hair removal practice that is done by layering wax, which is typically heated around 55-65 degrees, onto a client's skin which then sticks to the hair and not the skin, before being ripped off. This accredited Hot Waxing Diploma is ideal for beauty therapists looking to expand their skills and services. You’ll learn the techniques for applying and removing the treatment in a way that is more comfortable for your clients, minimising the chances of skin reactions, as well as the benefits of working with hot wax. Once you have successfully completed your course, you will be able to obtain professional insurance from Radius and INSYNC Insurance, allowing you to apply treatments to clients. You must be 18 or over to apply for professional indemnity insurance. If you choose to add on the hot waxing kit, you will receive the items you need to practice performing hot waxing treatments.
