What Is Strip Wax and Why Choose It?
Strip wax (soft wax) is applied thinly and removed with non-woven strips, making it the preferred option for large areas such as the legs, arms, back and chest. Its fluid texture and fast setting time make it ideal for high-volume waxing services.
Strip Wax vs Non-Strip (Hard) Wax
Strip wax is perfect for large zones thanks to its speed and efficiency. By contrast, hard wax is applied thicker and removed without strips. It grips the hair—not the skin—making it the preferred choice for sensitive zones.
For salons offering natural or eco-conscious services, sugar wax provides a gentle alternative with simple, skin-friendly ingredients.
