Question 1

What is the purpose of applying pre-wax oil or cleanser before a waxing service?

Accepted Answer

To remove surface oils and create a clean surface for wax adhesion

Answer

A pre-wax cleanser removes makeup, oils, and debris so the wax adheres directly to the hair shaft rather than slipping on oily skin.

Question 2

After waxing, which type of product should be applied to soothe and protect the skin?

Accepted Answer

Post-wax oil or soothing lotion

Answer

Post-wax oil or soothing lotion removes wax residue and calms redness and sensitivity in the freshly waxed area.

Question 3

How long should a client typically avoid sun exposure after a waxing service?

Accepted Answer

At least 24–48 hours

Answer

Freshly waxed skin is highly sensitive and susceptible to hyperpigmentation; clients should avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours.

Question 4

Which hair removal method uses a twisted thread to catch and pull hairs from the follicle?

Accepted Answer

Threading

Answer

Threading uses a doubled-up cotton thread looped and rolled across the skin to trap and pluck rows of hair from the follicle.

Question 5

Depilatory creams remove hair by using chemicals to do what?

Accepted Answer

Break down the disulfide bonds in the hair's keratin structure

Answer

Chemical depilatories use alkaline agents (typically thioglycolates) to dissolve the keratin bonds in the hair shaft, allowing it to wipe away at skin level.
