As a waxing therapists we have to tailor the wax treatment to suit the client and this also means deciding on the best position for them to be in while being waxed.
The most common position and often the best choice for the front of the Hollywood/Brazilian wax is the “Reclining Butterfly” pose (best know in the yoga world)
Pulling up the knees and pivoting them out to the sides.
Soles of feet together feet should be pulled up as close to the buttocks as possible to get the nice and taut.
This position will all you to work on both sides at once.
This position is comfortable and is achievable for the majority of clients.
For clients who are less flexible or with issues the “Number four position”, Its name is because the client leg position resembles that of the number four.
Backside:
This position all 4’s is one of the most popular but isn’t necessary the best position for getting the client skin taut, but it’s most comfortable for those that are less flexible, back issues or pregnant. Clearly instruct the client into this position by having them. Turn over onto their stomach come up on their hands (or elbows) and knees. Releasing the back downward to open up the buttocks
If the back is arched up, it will close off the buttocks area.
The “happy Baby” pose is another great option for our pregnant clients and that are more flexible, as it provides maximum exposure of the area.
Clearly instruct the client to get into this position by-
-pulling knees into chest
-pull legs out to the sides of the body keeping 90 degree angle
Skin is kept taut and you have access to the entire area allowing you to work both sides at once.
