Which Wax should I choose for different areas?

Let us help you......

There are three different Lycon waxing methods – Hot Waxing, Lycojet-ing and Strip Waxing. The entire Lycon Wax range has grown since it was first launched in 1978 – over 30 years ago, so there are many waxes to choose from in each group.

If the hair is long enough, we recommend any Lycon Strip Wax.
If the hair is short and brittle, we recommend a Lycojet wax, because they can be used much more thinly than traditional hot wax. Lycojet waxes are therefore much more economical than traditional hot wax on large areas

Bikini lines and underarms

We recommend any of our Lycon hot waxes, particularly Rosette, Manifico and So Yummy, for their extra gentle and soothing properties for sensitive areas.
Many salons also successfully use Lycon Strip wax for these area, however we prefer the results and the painless waxing that Lycon hot waxes offer on these sensitive areas. Furthermore it is much easier to wax these areas with a hot wax as they leave a much cleaner and neater finish.
Lycojet waxes can be used on these areas also; however it is difficult to use them thinly, especially if the hairs are thick and long. The skin in these areas is also hotter and becomes hotter still while waxing. If Lycojet is applied too thickly, it takes longer to set and it will not have as good a grip on the hair. It is therefore often preferred to use Lycon hot wax in these areas.

Eyebrows, lips and faces

Any Lycon hot wax can be used on the facial area.
Lycojet waxes are also very suitable for the face, as they are applied thinner and contain soothing, hydrating and calming ingredients. Lavender Lycojet is very calming and soothing.

Backs, chests and necks

Any Lycon hot wax for smaller area’s for eg. Necks and Shoulders
Lycojet wax for shorter stronger hairs on larger areas.
Lycon Strip waxes could also be used on these areas, however, they can be more painful and secondly they will not remove the hair as well, should it be short.
When the back or the chest is being waxed, clients often perspire when the wax is removed. This prevents Strip wax from gripping the hair well; however this does not happen with Lycon hot waxes. Lycon hot waxes are much easier, less painful and efficient in these areas.

Generally speaking, all Lycon waxes can be used on the face and body. Everyone chooses differently depending on the training they have had and personal preferences.

The above suggestions are a guideline, feel free to have fun and experiment with Lycon waxes to establish your own personal preference.

Remember, for best results it is important to use the specified Lycon pre and after waxing products: Lycotane, pre-Waxing Oil, Perfect Finish, Tea Tree Perfect, Tea Tree Soothe, Soothing Cream and Wax Solvent as per their individual instructions when waxing
