When performing a brow wax with soft wax, the esthetician should apply the wax in the direction of hair growth and remove it in the opposite direction of hair growth.

This technique helps to minimize discomfort and prevent ingrown hairs.

Here's a breakdown of the steps:

1. Cleanse the area: Cleanse the brow area to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.
2. Apply wax: Using a spatula, apply a thin layer of warm wax in the direction of hair growth.
3. Apply a cloth strip: Place a cloth strip over the wax.
4. Remove the strip: Quickly pull the strip off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
5. Cleanse the area: Remove any remaining wax residue with a gentle cleanser.
6. Apply aftercare product: Apply a soothing lotion or oil to calm the skin.

It's important to note that soft wax is generally not as precise as hard wax for eyebrow shaping. For more precise shaping, many estheticians prefer to use hard wax or a combination of hard and soft wax.
