Why You May Want to Open a Waxing the City Franchise

One thing that may make this franchise stand out from the rest is the wax itself. Waxing the City uses wax that's custom-made in Spain and France. The wax is supposed to not only remove the hair, but also soothe and comfort the skin.
The staff at Waxing the City locations typically undergo constant instruction, education, and certification. To become certified, the staff receives multiple days of hands-on training. After that, they can opt for additional training with chances for advancement.
