How do you get wax (the kind of wax used in a beauty salon) out of a silk top?

30 Oct

At the beauty salon, as the beautician was waxing my legs some wax flew up onto my silk top. I took it to the dry cleaners who said that it was unlikely they would be able to get the stain out. They suggested soaking the top in cold water for one hour. I tried it but it didn’t work. Will get it dry cleaned to see if that works.

The beauty supply stores sell a wax remover that might work. It is really used to clean out the wax heater pots and implements, but it might work on your top. The only thing is that it is silk. You also might try Weimann’s wax remover available in discount and craft stores. It is used to remove candle wax from holders, but I have used it on table runners, napkins, furniture surfaces, etc. It will leave an oily residue and when it does, I pile salt, cornstarch, borax, baking soda or even talc on the area, let it absorb the excess oil and then wash or launder with a pre-spotter or dawn dishwashing soap. All that being said, none of the fabrics have been silk which is tempermental and generally liquids leave rings on.

Waxing Hardwood Floors

28 Oct

Why you should wax your floors frequently.
How to wax floors and prepare for waxing. Different kinds of floor wax.

Many homeowners today prefer hardwood or other type of solid surface flooring to wall to wall carpeting. The initial appeal is the beauty of wood floor but the easy upkeep of wood floors is also a big factor. Lightly sweeping and dusting. along with an occasional waxing is about all wood floors require.

In comparison to heavy vacuuming and the necessity of steam cleaning at least once a year. caring for wood floors seems to be a breeze. If you apply a protective coating of wax to a wood floor. the wood will be preserved and stay cleaner and in good repair longer. Floor wax gives wood floors a beautiful glow and it also protects and maintains other types of floors such as linoleum. This gives the flooring a beautiful appearance that makes the home more attractive. Applying wax consistently will also protect the flooring from water and moisture damage. It can minimize the appearance of scratches. grooves and ridges in the flooring and prevent further such damage. The appeal of a clean. shiny. freshly waxed floor cannot be denied. Wax works to protect hardwood and other floors by reducing the abrasion they are exposed to. Grit and grime slide over the surface of a waxed floor instead of being ground in.

Floor wax can be purchased in three varieties: water based. solvent based and polymer. Some people are concerned about health problems in dealing with floor wax because it contains chemicals; some floor waxes even contain formaldehyde. The companies that make floor wax are aware of these concerns and have now started to make products that do not contain harsh chemicals and are environmentally safe to use. These types of waxes are becoming more commonly available. No-wax floors have become popular. not only because of the concerns about chemicals and the environment. but also because many families with two working partners do not have the time for too many household chores. But even no wax floors need to be cleaned frequently and. if damage occurs to the surface. they may have to be waxed anyway to add the protection that has been removed.

Waxing a floor is good for protecting the surface and also looks beautiful. but since wax builds up over time. it does need to be removed once in a while by stripping the floor. Wax removers also contain chemicals so they need to be used with caution. and anyone who is using them should understand what chemicals they are dealing with and protect themselves accordingly. Masks against fumes and gloves to handle the liquids may be necessary if you are going to take on this chore.

Help on beauty waxing?

28 Oct

I need help!!!

I started waxing my upper lip because I keep getting allergic to the creams to remove facial hair! So I used the waxing strips that you warm up between your hands and then your open the strip then wan your face but everytime I wax I always get marks on my face and I have one that turned looking like a zit! Is there a way I can prevent this or do something to cure it? Is there a cheap way to resolve this?

Thank you! PLease help me!!!!!!
Jsyk I am pulling them in the same direction as the hair is growing.
The scarring is mostly on the side of my lip and another on the other side

this is gross but if u look closely youll see that the hairs on ur upper lip slant away from the nose. i think ur pulling the wax strip towards ur nose when u should pull it away.

If youre going to get waxed. i recommend having a professional do it for you. It is not expensive, only a few more dollars then if you were to buy the wax, and its safer and you will receive better results!

Hope this helps

 
 

Male body waxing, beauty treatments?

26 Oct

Hi,
I recently had a full leg wax and think that I want more waxing done. It was for charity and I volunteered to have my legs waxed if my work could raise $5000.

When I got to the beauty salon the beautician who was to wax me asked how far up my leg I wanted done and I didn’t really know. She said that seeing it was my first time that I may as well get the works, so a full leg wax. While I thought that just above the knee would be fine I didn’t want to argue as they had donated the waxing service.

I was shown into a room and asked to take off my shoes, socks and pants and place on a smallish wrap around type of skirt (very attractive look). Fiona the beautician then started on my lower legs which didn’t hurt anything compared to what I had expected. After doing the front and backs of my lower legs she continued upwards. I was to discover why I needed to wear the skirt as it let her access very very high on my leg while I could maintain my modesty. I must admit that the whole experience was quite exciting as I’d never had anything like this done before. She was waxing beside my underpants line when she asked if that was high enough. She said that she would do a bikini wax if I was ok with that and I instantly agreed. So she waxed my whole groin region as well (stings quite a bit there) with the exception of my privates.

With my legs and bikini line now silky smooth I thanked Fiona and headed home. I loved the experience of feeling my now smooth legs. Must say that I wasn’t thinking much and when I showed my wife when I got home she was shocked that I’d agreed to have some much waxed. I tried to say that they said that I should get the works so who was I to disagree but that didn’t really work.

Am I weird for agreeing to a full leg and bikini wax? I would love to have more waxing done but not sure my wife would agree? Any words of advice???

Also now very tempted to get my ears pierced and nearly had them done while at the salon. I asked Fiona about ear piercing during my waxing appointment and was very close to getting them done there and then as well. Should I get my ears pierced as well and if so how many? Does getting your ears pierced hurt?

Look forward to your advice.
Thanks.

It all depends on each individual how they like their body to look, I do not like hairy men, and as for ear pierced it is just as a needle poke.

When you have waxing done, do you ever suspect the beauty therapist is a bit of a sadist?

25 Oct

My therapist admitted to me that she does get a certain amount of malicious pleasure from being merciless when waxing a client.

I suspect that it must be true for most people who do waxing professionally…

I am a skincare therapist and I don’t get any pleasure out of waxing someone but the money that comes afterward. If that was the case then all the ob/gyn’s are getting pleasure as well.
