I have not prepared a paper handout but your suggestion is good, I will get one together for my clients.
Comfort is ambiguous in the waxing room. The experience one goes away with depends on his or her own interpretation. We are, after all, talking about ripping hair out.
Basically: Having warm tissues allows the hair to be removed easier. Timing the appointment at a low stress period of the day or week MAY make the reaction to the pull less severe, however that is open to debate. I have had and do have some women that prefer to time their appointment to coincide with the hieght of their flow and/or listening to Grunge/Metal claiming that such influences help to dull the sensitivity of the more localized area I'm working on. Others can be opposite or anywhere in between.
I will use a numbing spray for some areas on some clients and in majority of areas a mist of cool water/astringent dilution, sprayed right after the pull, will bring instant relief. And as odd as it may sound I have observed that a percentage of people both male and female will show signs of arousal during waxing, and not just for the bikini wax but generally, it really pleasures some to have their hair pulled out. I admit that for me there is a place on the mid inner thigh that feels so good to have the hair pulled out, it's like a thousand itches all at once. However the pubus mons for most can feel like fire for up to 7 seconds or so, that's where the cool spray is most welcome. And a majority of women will agree that the lower eyebrow is one of the most sensitive areas on the body, but not everyone.
