There are so many waxing machines on the market and in the confusion of abundance, it's often difficult to decide which one is the one for you. In our latest article we help you make the right choice.

Mono wax heater is a favourite for home users

Without a doubt, mono wax heaters are the most popular devices on the market. Their affordable price, ease of use and popular 100ml cartridges that can be warmed up in them make them a popular choice for almost any salon or bathroom. They are easy to learn to use in minutes. Their small size and the fact that the cartridge does not need to be removed during waxing make them very safe to use. With 100ml cartridges, the full body can be waxed quickly and effectively. The result is smooth skin that lasts up to 4 weeks. Perhaps their only drawback is that the amount of wax cartridges used really only allows you to tame certain areas of the body. They also heat up the wax a little slower due to their simpler technical design.

Advantages:

• They take up a little space
• Reasonable price
• Easy to use

Disadvantages:

• Appropriate only for wax cartridges
• Slower warm-up time
• Less durable beside continuous load

400 and 800ml waxing heaters for the economical hair removal enthusiast

A big favourite in cosmetic salons are the various 400 and 800ml wax heaters, which can be used not only to warm up specific sizes of waxes in tin, but also almost any wax disc or pearl in an empty can. They are popular with users because they make hair removal extremely economical, as they are used to heat up large packs of wax. And because of their size, they are proportionately more economical to buy than smaller packs. The only drawback is that if they are not used on a daily basis, they lose their economic efficiency in one fell swoop.

Advantages:

• Economical
• Durable
• They can be used with several wax types

Disadvantages:

• Not compatible with wax catridges
• Not economic beside rare use
• Higher price

Combinated wax heaters adapted t the needs of beauty salons

There is a very small segment of the wax heater market where you will find devices that can warm almost all types of waxes on the market. These devices are called combinated heaters, as they are a combination of several heaters. Some of them are specialised for wax cartridges and can heat everything from 15ml up to 100ml. But there are also those that facilitate the combined heating of 100ml cartridges and 800ml tins of wax. These machines are clearly the best on the market, but they can only show their true efficiency behind the walls of a beauty salon.

Advantages:

• Compatible with several wax types
• Economic
• Durable

Disadvantages:

• High price
• Not recommended for home use

Can waxes be heated in microwaves?

A series of YouTube videos show that you can heat your home use waxes in the microwave. But our experts agree that you shouldn't try this. Waxes in tin with metal wrappers should never be put in the microwave, and only some of the plastic-wrapped types can be heated in the microwave. Those that are labelled as such on the packaging. Why not try? Most plastics melt in the microwave, the packaging will puncture and you can scald yourself with the hot wax, which will leave permanent burns on your skin.
