When you see an eyebrow or Brazilian wax on your books, do you panic? Are you among the many spa professionals who have banned performing these services altogether due to your fear of taking off too much? If so, you\u2019re not alone. These are common reactions to performing two incredibly intimidating waxing services.
\nIf you think that your business can get by without placing these services on the menu, think again. Eyebrow design and Brazilian waxing<\/a> are some of the most requested waxing services. Spas know this, and many now require spa professionals to be proficient in performing these services. To be successful with these techniques, you have to conquer the fear that goes along with executing them.<\/p>\n

\"Eyebrow<\/a>

Soft Wax- Eyebrow<\/p><\/div>\n

Less hair = more money<\/strong>
\nWaxing, in general, is a high-profit treatment with low overhead that will comprise at least half of your total service revenue, and eyebrow waxing<\/a> and Brazilians commonly make up a large majority of that.
\nThe hairless trend has spawned the need for a new breed of spa, devoted exclusively to the art of hair removal. These businesses offer every conceivable method to choose from, including waxing,<\/a> sugaring, threading<\/a>, tweezing, laser and electrolysis, and everyone from estheticians to physicians are jumping on the bandwagon.
\nMoney is what you stand to lose by not providing these services. Historically, when the economy gets tough and clients tighten their belts, the perceived luxury services, such as facials and massages, are the first to go. Waxing, on the other hand, has become a necessity for some, ranking up there with hair and nails; therefore, it will sustain you through the lean times.
\nLook at it this way: Many facial services are 60 minutes in length with an average cost of $60. A Brazilian service often is 30 minutes with an average cost of $50. So potentially, in the time it takes you to do one facial for $60, you can do two Brazilians for $100 or more.

Brows<\/strong>
\nSo with all that money to be made, why aren\u2019t you cashing in? The likely reason is fear. Eyebrows are quite possibly the scariest service ever. They sit right on the face, front and center, for the entire world to see. Those who have mastered the art of eyebrow design are practically initiated into sainthood for the miracles they perform. Yes, there is stress, but remember that the difference between failure and success when it comes to brows and Brazilians is training and practice.
\nDone correctly, eyebrow design is one of the most rewarding services you will ever perform. A properly placed and proportioned set of brows has the ability to change the shape of the face, create balance, give the illusion of a more youthful appearance and heighten your client\u2019s self-esteem. It\u2019s quicker than plastic surgery with less downtime\u2014who knew eyebrows could do all that?

Brazilian<\/strong>
\nThe first thing most spa professionals learn about the Brazilian is how much pain is involved. Horror stories about experiences gone awry may make you never want to get a Brazilian, let alone perform one on your clients. The truth is, Brazilian waxing<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be as painful as the tales that have been told about it. A Brazilian isn\u2019t pain-free, but it can be a lot less painful, especially when you are depositing that money into your bank account. But to do the Brazilian right, make the client happy and make more money, you have to know and understand the basics.
\nThere is a lot more to performing a proper Brazilian than the basic techniques learned in school. Using the correct product and technique are imperative to performing a superior Brazilian. Experience teaches you how to hold the skin, where and how to apply the wax, and what to do when things go wrong. And they will go wrong.
\n\"Brazilian<\/a>Brazilian waxing is uncomfortable\u2014period. You know it. Your client knows it. If you become overly concerned with the pain aspect of the Brazilian, you will be stressed every time you perform one. Your nervous energy will make your client nervous, thereby magnifying and prolonging their discomfort. Not only that, it will make them think twice about your capabilities.
\nRunning a close second to pain on the discomfort scale is the intimacy factor. Let\u2019s face it, unless you\u2019re a gynecologist or a midwife, you aren\u2019t used to spending a lot of time in that area. Most will agree that holding a spatula of hot wax over a stranger\u2019s pelvic region isn\u2019t your normal day at the office.These mental barriers are normal and natural, and you will overcome them in time.

Confidence is the key<\/strong>
\nWhen it comes to these and other life challenges, finding the confidence to accept and face them is what makes the difference. Following are some ways to feel secure enough to wield the wax spatula.<\/p>\n
