Marta Zaczkowska joins me to talk all things waxing standards and growing your waxing business the right way.  The waxing industry has been a growth market within the wider salon sector for many years and with this it brings more attention from outside the industry and from social media influencers and tik-tokers more recently.  We've all seen that there are unqualified people making these viral videos and Marta has seen and heard from enough of her followers to know it's time for there to be a step up from the professional industry to make sure we are setting the standards and not following poor hygiene and techniques often shown online.  Always at the forefront of waxing, Marta has recently added a paid for consultation and patch test to her treatment list and she explains the reasons behind this and how it's being welcomed by her clients.  We discuss CPD, and the lack of it, in waxing and how beyond intimate and pregnancy waxing there aren't many ways to refresh and improve beyond your Level 2 or entry level classes.  Waxing is often the least liked service for any newbie with a fear factor attached to many wax services.  So are educators missing an opportunity to improve confidence and skills amongst the sector. We also discuss Marta's upcoming Retreat for Waxing Professionals that she is hosting in Marrakesh in January 2024 and with a limited number of places available, if you want to be in it you need to book soon! Marta is generously sharing her E-Book which she developed following setting up the Support Group for Waxing Professionals on Facebook earlier this year.
