SECTION 175:10-7-34. Waxing

(a)   Roll on wax is prohibited

(b)   Wax pots must remain covered and free from debris when not in use

(c)   Wax may be removed for use by one of the following methods:

(1)   Single use spatula disposed of after a single dip/application

(2)   Disinfected plastic spatula - new spatula for each dip into the pot

(3)   Removal of wax needed for entire service into a single use, disposable cup. Only in this circumstance may the same applicator(s) be used for the entire service. Cup (including all remaining wax) and applicator(s) must be disposed of immediately after use. Remaining wax may not be put back into the pot.

(d)   If wax becomes contaminated or has visible debris, pot must be emptied and disinfected. No wax may be re-used - only new wax may be used in the pot.

(e)   Area to be waxed must be cleaned with antiseptic wipe prior to service to reduce the risk of infection.

(f)   Waxing of nasal hair is prohibited

(g)   Paraffin wax must be portioned out for each client in a bag or other container, or dispensed in a manner that prevents contamination of the unused supply. All portions used on a client must be disposed of immediately following use.
