Hair that is missed often has to do with the condition of the hairshaft and/or the wax used. If the hairshaft has some substance like body oil from the skin that didn't get cleaned away during the prep then that hair will not get well adhered to by the wax. Likewise: if the prep powder or other product that helps prevent the wax from adhereing to the skin, coats the hairshaft because of oils on the hairshaft, the wax will not stick. Simularly, if a hair is lying exactly under another hair and the wax misses it. Differant waxes adhere to different kinds of hair. If the wax type is for fine hair the course hair may not adhere. If the wax is for course hair but the person has fine hair then skin tissue may be damaged. Many times I've seen more than one type of hair on the same person and even in the same general area. More than one wax pot is required so the operator has various selections. It is very risky waxing the same area twice so if tweezing is not a viable option then a second appointment a minimum of 48 hours later is required to wax again.
I agree with you on the conversation issue. Interesingly however, the clients sometime like to talk endlessly and when they pause I often wonder if they might be waiting for a responce from me, although I am usually so focused on what I'm doing that I haven't been listening. That leaves me feeling a little guilty.
