Hard wax vs strip wax

Hard wax is applied warm, sets on the hair, and is lifted off without a cloth strip. Strip wax is spread thin and pulled off with a cloth or paper strip. Every wax at OH! Esthetics in Sherman Oaks uses hard wax.

Why Olyvia uses hard wax

Hard wax grips the hair rather than the skin, which is why it's commonly used for sensitive areas. Six of her eight wax services are in those areas: Brazilian, bikini, brow shaping, brow clean up, upper lip, and underarm.

She uses one brand, Waxness professional hard wax, at every appointment, including arms.
