Format guides tell you what hard wax is. This one tells you what goes on the trolley before a named service. Every product below is live on prohair.ca, and every technique instruction is Satin Smooth's own, quoted from the How To tab on satinsmooth.com. Prices verified live 18 September 2026.
Brow, lip and chin
Small areas, thin skin, and a client looking straight at the result. Two things matter: the wax must not need a strip to sit flat over a curve, and the strip — if you use one — must be small enough to place precisely.
- Wax: Calendula Gold & Tea Tree Hard Wax ($22.00) is the dermatologist-tested, sensitive-skin, strip-free option. Citrus Mojito Thin-Film ($22.00) stays flexible as it sets.
- If you prefer a strip wax: Ultra Sensitive Zinc Oxide Cream Wax ($22.00) with Non-Woven Epilating Strips ($6.42) — the brand describes these as sized for "upper lip, brows, and bikini line" and made from bonded, not woven, fabric "for flexibility and strength".
- Or muslin: Natural Muslin Epilating Strips, Small $14.67. Untreated muslin, described by the brand as "ideal for facial areas, bikini line, and other delicate zones".
- Applicators: Large Wood Applicators ($6.99) work with all wax types; for brow work most technicians break out a smaller stick, and the brand's 100 ct petite and small applicators are on our not-yet-stocked list.
Never wax over eyelashes — it is on the brand's own prohibited list.
Underarm
Coarse hair growing in several directions out of thin, folded skin. This is the classic case for a thin-film hard wax, because you are not dragging a strip across a hollow.
- Wax: Titanium Blue Thin-Film Hard Wax ($35.99) — the brand's wording is "remove coarse, thick, and stubborn hair without irritating the skin", with the wax hardening "to a pliable finish for gentler epilation".
- Or the pebble version ($51.33) if you only run two or three underarms a day — you melt a service's worth rather than a can.
- Hair grows in more than one direction here, which is the argument for the Multidirectional waxes ($23.83): applied thin in any direction of growth, then smoothed back the opposite way.
Bikini and Brazilian
Satin Smooth names Brazilian bikini waxing explicitly on two pebble waxes, and that is not marketing padding — it is a format argument. Pebbles let you melt exactly what an intimate service needs and start clean each time.
- Calendula Gold & Tea Tree Pebble Wax — $51.33. Brand: "Designed to remove thick, coarse hair efficiently—ideal for Brazilian bikini waxing and sensitive areas."
- Citrus Mojito Thin-Film Pebble Wax — $51.33. Brand: "Perfect for effortless Brazilian bikini waxing."
- Required with either: an insert pot ($23.99) or an empty 14 oz can ($8.25). Pebbles are never melted in the bag.
The pebble directions carry their own contraindication: do not use over pimples, wounds, cuts or varicose veins, and check the skin is dry and irritation-free first.
Legs, arms and back
Large, relatively robust surfaces where speed is the whole game. Soft strip wax, applied thin, one confident stroke at a time, strip smoothed with the growth and pulled against it with the skin held taut.
- Coarse hair: Deluxe Cream Soft Wax ($35.99) — the brand writes it for "thick, unruly hair" and "efficient full-body waxing".
- Fine to medium hair: Aloe Vera & Vitamin E Cream Wax ($22.00).
- Normal to oily skin: Honey Wax with Vitamin E ($35.99) — the brand's stated skin type for this one is normal to oily, not sensitive.
- Strips: the Natural Muslin Epilating Roll, 3-1/2 in × 120 ft ($51.98), cut to whatever length the limb needs — cheaper per pull on a leg than buying three pre-cut packs. Pre-cut Large muslin is $27.50.
- Applicators: Large Wood Applicators ($6.99) — the brand's point is coverage: "fewer passes, fewer missed spots" and less irritation "from overworking an area".
Hands, feet and elbows — a different service entirely
Paraffin is not waxing. It is a heat-and-moisture treatment and it uses its own machine: the Satin Smooth Professional Paraffin Wax Spa ($128.33), a 6 lb unit with adjustable thermostat controls. The brand's melt order is specific and easy to get wrong: remove the lid and the grate, put the wax in, put the grate on top of the wax, then the lid — the grate sinks as the wax melts. Allow 4–6 hours for 6 lb of wax. The treatment itself is described as 15–20 minutes.
Be aware before you buy the bath: we do not currently stock the paraffin wax itself, and the terry mitts are not in the assortment. The unit alone will not complete a service.
The rule that applies to every area
From the brand's own soft-wax directions, and it is the one most likely to cost you a client: "Never reapply wax in the same area." If a patch did not come away cleanly, it is tweezer work, not a second pull.
And before any of it, on every area: no sun in the previous 24 hours, no other hair removal on the area in the previous 24 hours, and a test area for anyone with a pine-resin or honey allergy — both are main properties of this range.
