How Do Estheticians Buy Waxing Aftercare Wholesale?
By Tawnya Fornerod, founder of Just The Strip and a licensed esthetician of almost 25 years who owns multiple waxing studios.
The short answer: licensed estheticians, waxers and sugarists can buy Just The Strip wholesale waxing aftercare in our For the Pros Only collection, where every retail product comes as a PRO 3 pack at half of retail, with no application, no login and no minimum order, and a Pro Retail Starter Kit from $10 lets you try the routine before you stock it. We confirm professional status on every PRO order before it ships, so you simply check out with your business name and email, and orders of $200 or more ship free with a few heavy items excluded. A $30 serum costs you $15 in a 3 pack, which means every bottle you sell from your shelf earns back what you paid for it.
I have spent almost 25 years in this industry, and I still remember how hard it was to find aftercare I truly believed in for my own clients. Just The Strip grew out of that search, and it is why our family runs the PRO side of this business the way we wish someone had run it for us, with honest pricing, real people answering your emails and products we use in our own treatment rooms every day.
Where can estheticians find wholesale waxing aftercare?
Everything we make for professionals lives on our website, so there is no separate wholesale site to sign into and no rep to wait on. Our For the Pros Only collection holds the entire line at professional prices, from the PRO 3 Packs of every retail product to PRO only supplies like our soft waxes, Pre and Post Wax Oils and lash lift and brow lamination system.
Our PRO Resource Center gathers the rest in one place, including the PRO Price List, safety data sheets and free printables for your retail display.
What makes a good wholesale waxing aftercare brand for a waxing studio?
I always come back to one simple test, which is whether the product you use on the treatment table is exactly the product your client can take home. Every PRO 3 pack holds three full size retail units in the same packaging your clients see on the shelf, so the serum that felt so lovely during the service is the very same bottle waiting at checkout, and that continuity is what turns a wax into a routine.
The routine itself is a gentle three steps. Your client cleanses with Simply Pure Body Wash, treats with Smooth Operator, our acid based serum for stubborn ingrowns and razor bumps, or Truth Serum, our acid free serum built on botanicals for sensitive skin and facial waxing, and then hydrates with a Nourishing Oil. You can explore every step in our Waxing Aftercare Products collection.
A good brand should also tell you plainly where its products come from. Many of our products, including our Nourishing Oils, Pre and Post Wax Oils and lash and brow oils, are made by us in small batches in Southern Oregon, and Simply Pure Body Wash and our Sugar Body Scrubs are made for us in the USA by manufacturing partners. Truth Serum, Smooth Operator and our lash lift and brow lamination products are made overseas for now, while we keep moving as much of our manufacturing as we can to the United States, because that matters to us and to the pros who carry our line.
How does a PRO account work, and do I need to apply?
There is no application, no portal and no login, because PRO pricing is already built into the prices you see in For the Pros Only. Add your 3 packs and PRO products to your cart, check out with your business name and email, and we confirm professional status on every PRO order before it ships. PRO pricing is for licensed estheticians, waxers, sugarists, cosmetologists, lash and brow artists and salon owners with an active business.
If you would like sales tax removed, email your resale certificate to hello@justthestrip.com before you order, and know that every order ships from our home in Southern Oregon to addresses within the United States.
How much can a studio earn selling waxing aftercare?
Our PRO Reseller Guide walks through two ways to bring Just The Strip into your studio. The first is buying PRO 3 packs at half of retail and selling each product at its full retail price, so a $30 serum costs you $15 and puts $15 back in your pocket with every sale.
The second is drop shipping, where you collect full retail plus flat shipping from your client, email us the order, and we invoice you at 30 percent off retail and ship directly to your client. Drop shipping is the easiest way to start, since there is nothing to stock.
How do I try waxing aftercare products before stocking them?
Our Samples for PROS collection exists for exactly this moment. A Pro Retail Starter Kit with Smooth Operator or a Pro Retail Starter Kit with Truth Serum pairs a full size serum with a full size Nourishing Oil in the scent you choose for $10, and the Deluxe kits, with Smooth Operator or Truth Serum, add a full size Simply Pure Body Wash for $15 so you can feel the complete routine. These are full size retail products rather than little sachets.
My advice is to use the routine on yourself first so you can speak to it from the heart, then send it home with a few regular clients and ask how their skin felt at the next appointment. If you offer lash lifts and brow laminations, the Lash Lift and Brow Lamination Sample Kit holds two applications of each step, so you can try the system on a model before you switch your studio over. It is sold to professionals already trained in these services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum order for PRO pricing?
There is no minimum order, so a single PRO 3 pack counts as a PRO order. Orders of $200 or more ship free, which is why many pros combine a few 3 packs in one order.
Do wholesale orders ship free?
Orders of $200 or more ship free, except soft wax, the 16 oz and gallon Pre and Post Wax Oils, and the 8 oz PRO Nourishing Oils, which carry a shipping charge that covers only their own freight. Every order ships from Southern Oregon, and we currently ship within the United States only.
How do I get sales tax removed from my wholesale order?
Email your current resale certificate for the state your orders ship to hello@justthestrip.com before you place your order, and we will mark your account tax exempt. We are not able to refund sales tax on orders placed before a certificate is on file.
Is there a limit on Pro Retail Starter Kits?
Yes. Each customer can receive up to four single retail products through our starter kits in total, so a starter kit counts as two and a Deluxe kit counts as three. The kits are priced to let you try the line, and PRO 3 packs are the way to stock it.
