Pro tip: Using a $5 eyebrow razor changed my waxing routine completely

So I was dealing with this client who had really fine peach fuzz all over her face, and waxing just wasn't grabbing it no matter how much I prepped. After about two years of trying different powders and oils, I grabbed one of those little eyebrow razors from the drugstore for dermaplaning before the wax. The wax stuck way better and the finish was so smooth, no redness at all. Has anyone else tried shaving the fuzz first on tricky areas like that?

Ask @iris927 if she's tried this on thicker leg hair too, or does it only work for the face fuzz scenario?

Omg that's actually genius. I've totally been there with peach fuzz that just refuses to cooperate with wax. It's so frustrating when you prep everything right and the wax still barely grabs. Using the little razor first basically makes the wax stick way better since the hair has a fresh edge to grab onto. Plus you avoid that weird rubber band snap feeling on super fine hair. Really smart trick, I'm kinda mad I never thought of it sooner lol.

My sister tried this once and ended up with a bald patch on her ankle.
