For those estheticians in states where double dipping is illegal, bravo for your state! If you don't know what double dipping is, it is an unhygienic way estheticians speed wax by inserting the same side of the wax stick back in the wax pot after it has touched the client's skin; instead of taking the time to wrap one end of the stick with a paper towel and use the clean end of the stick (or just getting a new one). These estheticians think it is perfectly sanitary to touch their client's skin with the wax stick and put it back in a community pot (meaning the pot all the customers use). It is disgusting, unhygienic and frankly it is putting the customers health at risk. I don't care what state you live in, I don't care if it is lawful in your state to conduct yourself this way, don't do it! You are contaminating the wax pot! And the theory that wax is hot, and it kills the bacteria is false. Wax is not boiling (at least it better not be) so it cannot technically kill bacteria, in fact, many bacteria strands thrive in warm, moist places thus making the wax pot a perfect breeding ground for funky bacteria waiting to contaminate your client!
