The Ultimate Package & Wax Set Up

You have your Cosmetology or Esthetic License. You are about to open your salon or are about to move into your own room. You have your equipment ordered, your table ready and have an idea of the kind of services you will offer. Now you need wax and skin care.

You know the names of skin care lines that promise a lot but deliver little. The skin care lines that cost an arm and a leg and have ridiculous minimums and way too many products. You've used the sticky gooey wax in school and know you don't need 6 different kinds of wax. Now you have come across this article hoping for good advice. Well, here it is...

The three best pieces of  advice I can give you are:
1. Get a complete back bar and retail set up right away.
2. Sell retail to your clients.
3. Keep your wax set up simple.

If you don't get a complete skin care set up, you will spend twice as much money trying to piece together a comprehensive group of products that will service your clients and provide the back bar you need. Second, if you don't sell retail you will never make the profit you need to stay in business. It is extremely important not to let retail product sit on your shelves collecting dust. Know your clients' skin care goals and sell them products to achieve those goals. As far as wax goes, you only need one good quality hard wax and one good quality soft wax (and the pre/post products that are designed for use with that wax).

I recommend the Tu'eL Ultimate Package and the Berins Wax Set Up with the Whole Ball of Wax DVD . Here is why:

Free education included. You get 4 days of skin care education with several days of hands on training. You also get hotel accommodations for the 4 days of class if you live outside of the area. When you get both packages you also get a free Speed Wax class. You recieve educational DVDs that are the best in the industry covering facials and waxing from head to toe (including Brazilian Waxing). There is a comprehensive manual included that gives step by step instructions on facials for different skin types and conditions, instructions on body treatments and waxing.

Real tech support. You actually get a real person who answers the phone and helps you with your questions. If you need advice on a facial treatment, a skin reaction, on how to sell more retail products or  your wax application you can call the same number. You don't have to call your rep and hope they call you back. Just call the main number and get your questions answered.

A company that gets to know you. When you call you aren't just another number. You don't get the robotic staff that just wants to sell you something. You get people who want you to be successful no matter the size of your business.

Buy direct from the manufacturer. No middleman markups on price and no stale product that has been sitting on a shelf for 6 months. Call directly and know you are getting your product from the manufacturer.

A company with ethics. You are the main focus. It's not about the red carpet, celebrities or selling behind your back to your clients. Eva's Esthetics only sells to and advocates for the licensed professional. They don't undercut their distributors or you. You won't find trendy scented waxes, glittery bottles, or cookie cutter marketing packages. They just offer the best skin care, wax, post graduate education and tech support available.

Retail products your clients will love. It's true, your clients will love Tu'eL products because they will see results. Eva's Esthetics doesn't cut corners on their retail product line. Your esthetic education and knowledge of your clients skin care needs will be the driving force behind selling the product and getting the results your clients want. With proper use (you will have to show your client the proper products and methods) your clients will see fantastic results. With regular facials from you and home care they will be amazed at how fast their skin becomes more supple, and youthful. Your wax clients will experience better results with home care products designed to reduce ingrown hairs and breakouts.
Natural ingredients and products that work. The careful balance between being paraben free and having natural ingredients is very, very difficult. All of Tu'eL skin care is paraben free, using aromatherapy based, natural ingredients to keep the products shelf stable.  On the wax side of the aisle, Berins wax is the best on the market. The blue wax stays flexible without getting brittle and breaking. They also have a wax called Jet Set that is amazing in hot, humid or high altitude areas. It's amazing because it sets up quickly, even when your client is sweating.  The soft wax is a must for anyone who waxes legs, arms, chests and backs. The best part of the all waxes is that they remove the coarse and fine hairs. Check out Eva's Esthetics on You Tube to see some demos.

Residue-free cleansers. Simply put, if you are using a cleanser that requires a toner be used afterward you are using a product that is leaving a residue on the skin or a product that is unnecessarily altering the pH balance of the skin. Cleansing Oils clean deeply and provide gentle exfoliation without striping the skin of it's natural, healthy oils, leaving a residue or altering the pH of the skin. The Detox Bath Gel is perfect for exfoliating the skin after waxing. It completely rinses away which is important to clients prone to ingrown hair.

All the products you need. The packages include everything you need to work and sell to your clients. Follow these links for the full list of what products are included.    Ultimate Package    Wax Set Up

1. Mix one heaping tablespoon of Enzyme Peel with water to form a watery paste. Apply, keeping skin moist. Can be used with a facial brush, steam or gently massaged with fingertips.
2. For a more aggressive treatment add one teaspoon of Peeling Cream to the Enzyme mixture and massage gently.


Tu’eL Glyco A-Infusion is an aqueous solution with 10% glycolic acid. It is extremely effective because it alters the skin to a pH of 3.0. Glyco-A Infusion helps the skin with product absorption and extraction. See below for Professional Glycolic Treatment guidelines.

Aloe Vera Extract: Soothes exfoliated surface

Complete Ingredients

Professional Glycolic Treatment
It is highly recommended that your client has been using Glyco-A Gel and Hy-Drate for at least 2 weeks prior to the first professional treatment. The recommended series is one glycolic treatment a week for 6 weeks, up to 3 times a year.

1. Cleanse, exfoliate following the treatment guidelines below and finish with Hy-Drate and sun care or night cream.
2. Approximate time for treatment is 30 minutes.
3. Your client must practice good home care to ensure great results.

First 2 Treatments
For the first 2 treatments, mix 1 tablespoon of Enzyme Peel with one teaspoon Glyco-A Infusion and 2 teaspoons of water in a bowl with a mask brush. Protect the client’s eyes with damp cotton eye pads. Working quickly, apply mixture to the face, neck and décolleté. Avoid upper eyelids and apply to cheek area last. Leave the mixture on for 2 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of skin. Use steam or a barber wrap to keep mixture moist. Medium to thick skin may be gently brushed. Rinse well with warm water. Finish with Hy-Drate and sun care or night cream.

Third and Fourth Treatments
Mix 1 tablespoon of Enzyme Peel with 2 teaspoons Glyco-A Infusion and one teaspoon of water in a bowl with a mask brush. Apply in the same manner as above and leave on for 2 to 7 minutes.

Exfoliation Products and Treatments: Part I

Refine Your Skin at Home

You can acheive and maintain a youthful glow by using exfoliating products at home. Proper exfoliation is the key step in revealing new skin cells that give a youthful, revitalized glow.

Using professional quality skin care results in an improvement in the overall look, feel, color and tone of your skin.

Hy-Drate: The Best Moisture Gel Available...Period!

Tu'eL Hy-Drate Moisture Gel is a non-irritating, liquid gel that increases surface moisture retention, and is beneficial for all skin types.  The key to beautiful, healthy skin is water and retaining moisture. Hy-Drate is and has been the best selling product manufactured by Eva’s Esthetics for over 20 years.

Sodium Hyaluronate is the primary active ingredient. Because of its light molecular weight it penetrates and is absorbed into the skin better than Hyaluronic Acid. This humectant holds more than 1000 times its own weight in water which plumps and firms the skin. Hy-Drate was developed over 20 years ago and was the first Sodium Hyaluronate product of its kind.

Hy-Drate is most effective when used under a Tu'eL daytime SPF or Tu'eL night cream. By using Hy-Drate under a moisturizer you draw the ingredients deeper into the skin and seal in the contents. Hy-Drate is best used with skin care products that are made with premium ingredients that are formulated for your skin type.
Key Ingredients
Sodium Hyaluronate: Superior hydrator
Sodium PCA: Builds skin moisture content
Dimethicone Copolyol: Holds moisture on skin
Green Tea Extract: Soothing, calming antioxidant

Complete Ingredients
Purified Water, Propylene Glycol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate,
Polyquaternim 10, Dimethicone Copolyol, Green Tea Extract,
Dipotassium Glycyrrhycinate, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol,
Potassium Sorbate

Applications
For daily use, apply a dime-size amount to face, neck and décolleté, including eye area. Smooth in with a few drops of water. Use under creams and sun protection. Hy-Drate should be used twice daily.

For massage, add 2 to 3 pumps to appropriate Tu'eL cream, blend together and apply. When slip is needed, moisten fingertips with water.

Absorb: Stay Shine-Free All Day

Absorb is a serum that absorbs excess sebum on the surface of the skin. This daytime, leave on product benefits the skin in many ways throughout the day. With the absorbing active ingredients suspended in a humectant base, the skin remains soft and hydrated. Absorb keeps you looking fresh and shine-free. When wearing cosmetics, the serum gives a matte finish so makeup stays in place and avoids creasing in the eyelids. Makeup looks as flawless in the evening as it does when applied in the morning.


Absorb is perfect for people with oily and/or impure skin because it holds moisture on the skins surface while absorbing excess sebum. Absorb is a daytime serum and is a wonderful complement to Hy-Drate Moisturizer that can be used at night. Both products can be used with all skin types.

Complete Ingredients

Purified Water, Propylene Glycol, Burnet Extract, Cinnamon Extract, Ginger Extract, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyquaternim 10, Dimethicone Copolyol, Green Tea Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhycinate, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate

Applications

Apply 2 pumps at the end of treatment on primarily oily and impure skin. After removing the final mask, apply Crystal C, then Absorb. While letting that set, apply the appropriate eye products:

1. Eye Plus or Glorious Gold Eye and Lip Gel, and then finish with the correct sun protection.
2. In the morning on clean skin, apply two pumps to face and neck, including eye area.
3. Press a small amount on top of makeup with a sponge to set and create a matte finish.
