Top 5 Reasons to Choose Professional Waxing over DIY Waxing

For just about everything, there’s a DIY method available that seemingly promises you good results at a greatly discounted cost. Whether it’s remodeling your bathroom, making dinner for a date, or even getting waxed. 

Sometimes, the DIY route can be great, but when it comes to waxing any part of your body, we have to recommend that you spend a little extra and pay a professional wax specialist. 

We know saving a few bucks is always tempting, but here are five compelling reasons you should choose professional waxingover DIY and why professional results always win.

1. The Results are Sharper and More Accurate

First and foremost, we’ll cover the part you’re most likely to care about. The results are far better. 

Let’s face it. You’re almost certainly not a professional wax specialist. It’s likely that, while you might be able to get decent results, you’ll still have a spot here or there that gets out of control and makes your wax job look a little “off”. 

For example, if you’re unsure whether to wax or shave and you make a mistake, you could end up completely ruining your brows. You might have wanted to do some light shaping with smooth contours and ended up with two thin, straight lines by accident. 

Those things are understandable without experience, but when you hire a professional, you know you’re going to get great results. 

Not only is it far easier to wax somebody else instead of waxing yourself, but the professional also has experience waxing countless people before you, and that experience goes a long way. 

In short, DIY waxing is a huge risk. Sometimes, the results can reasonably blend in, but a lot of the time, there are noticeable, or even serious, mistakes. 

2. Far Less Chance of Reactions and Physical Mistakes

Little mistakes, such as pulling a small patch of an eyebrow out where you didn’t want to, are not enjoyable, but they’re also not the end of the world. They’re usually small and relatively unnoticeable unless people are looking closely. 

However, that’s not the only risk when you try DIY waxing. 

You also risk skin reactions and possibly even infections. Remember that wax is quickly pulling hairs out by the follicle. 

That process slightly exfoliates the skin and can leave it more vulnerable to irritation or clogged pores if you’re not careful, which can make it harder to maintain smooth skin after a waxing appointment.

 If any of those things happen, they don’t look good, are extremely obvious, and typically, they hurt. 

Professional waxing fixes that. A professional’s methods minimize the chance of any of that happening, and while you’ll feel that trademark yank, you are extremely unlikely to deal with any prolonged issues while still getting superior results. 

3. Higher Quality Products

The primary reason anyone wants to go through the effort of DIY waxing is to save money. Well, it’s true. You can save money. However, most of the savings don’t come from cutting out the cost of labor that comes with hiring a specialist. Instead, they come from buying cheap products. 

Those cheap products increase the chance of all those negative things we listed. They simply aren’t made as well, and they don’t work as well, either. They can even be a lot harder to work with and make even the best DIY waxers suffer from mistakes. 

When you hire an experienced hair removal professional, you know they’re using the best of the best, and they might even be using products that you can’t get a hold of on your own. It’s just like any other service. 

Since professional uses their “tools” every day to earn their living and provide the best results, they can afford to shell out for the really good stuff and make a modest profit. For you to do an at-home wax job once it’s wildly impractical. 

The quality of the materials used makes a huge difference, and you have to remember that this does play a big part in the cost. That deal you’re getting by purchasing an “at-home friendly” product is going to cost you more in other ways, most of the time. 

4. You Get a Smoother, Less Painful Experience

If you ask 100 people if waxing feels good or not, we’re willing to bet at least 90 of them will give you a resounding “no”. That’s just part of the beauty world that has to be accepted to get awesome results. When you’re pulling hair out, there’s going to be at least a little bit of pain. 

However, how painful it is depends greatly on who is doing it and the products being used. 

A professional hair removal specialist knows how to use the finest products to minimize your pain. Instead of a shocking jolt that brings you to tears, you feel a little jerk and a pinch. At most, you might have a slight amount of soreness for a short bit after the waxing is done. All things considered, it’s quick and extremely tolerable. 

When you do your eyebrows, you are far more likely to do something that not only hurts a lot more during the process but also causes a lot of prolonged pain. Inflammation tends to be a lot worse, and of course, if it gets infected or an ingrown hair forms, you’re going to feel it. 

5. You Get Professional Aftercare

One of the reasons DIY waxing, even when it’s done relatively well, has so many issues is that people stop at the wax job itself. 

Aftercare is crucial to prevent soreness, keep the skin in good shape, and get great results. 

Whether it’s a paraffin treatment that makes your skin soft and supple, a quick moisturizing rub, some advice, or a combination of all of that, a professional is able to do some aftercare that will greatly enhance your experience.
