Here are a few precautions to take when getting a wax.
1. Make sure the technician is wearing gloves so you don't catch something from the technician's hands.
2. Don't let the technician wax an area over and over as it will be irritated and at increased risk for infection.
3. Make sure the technician doesn't double dip the wood sticks. If he or she does, either ask for a fresh pot of wax or find another salon.
