Estheticians must use hard wax if they wish to perform which procedure?

• A. A second waxing in the same area
• B. A facial steam
• C. A massage
• D. A facial mask

Answer: (A)

Hard wax is designed to be applied, allowed to harden, and then peeled off without a cloth strip. This makes it ideal for a second pass in the same treatment area because you can reapply and remove the wax to capture hairs that weren’t removed initially, without tugging on skin or using strips again. The other activities listed—facial steam, massage, and a facial mask—do not involve waxing at all, so the type of wax isn’t relevant. So, the procedure that requires hard wax is performing a second waxing in the same area.
