There is no application and no login; we confirm professional status on every 3 pack order before it ships, so please check out with your business name and email.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 3 pack of the serum our whole line grew out of, priced for the pros who use it in the treatment room and sell it on the shelf. Smooth Operator is the first step of the aftercare routine performed after every wax, and the product clients rebuy most often. Three acids do the work: salicylic acid clears inside the follicle, and glycolic and lactic acids smooth the surface so hair grows through clean. Camphor, glycerin, and vitamin E calm the skin so it can be applied immediately after a service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3 pack gives you one for the room and two for the shelf, at half of retail. Choose the 100 ml roll on in our regular scent, the 50 ml Dreamsicle roll on, the 100 ml glass pump bottle, or the pads, and mix formats across orders as you learn what your clients pick up. Because the same product goes home with the client, the last step of your service becomes the start of the retail conversation, and our aftercare cards in Retail Display Tools make that conversation easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor expecting clients and anyone with an aspirin allergy, keep Truth Serum on the shelf beside it. Smooth Operator was created by a licensed esthetician with almost 25 years of waxing behind her, and it is made for us by a trusted manufacturing partner to our formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use in the room\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the service, apply a thin layer to clean skin and let it dry fully before the client dresses. Follow with a few drops of PRO Nourishing Oil. Send the client home with instructions to use it once daily between appointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"@id\": \"https:\/\/justthestrip.com\/products\/smooth-operator-ingrown-hair-serum-3-pack#faq\",\n  \"url\": \"https:\/\/justthestrip.com\/products\/smooth-operator-ingrown-hair-serum-3-pack\",\n  \"name\": \"Smooth Operator Ingrown Hair Serum 3 Pack FAQ\",\n  \"about\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Product\",\n    \"name\": \"Smooth Operator Ingrown Hair Serum 3 Pack\",\n    \"url\": \"https:\/\/justthestrip.com\/products\/smooth-operator-ingrown-hair-serum-3-pack\",\n    \"brand\": { \"@type\": \"Brand\", \"name\": \"Just The Strip\" }\n  },\n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"@id\": \"https:\/\/justthestrip.com\/#organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Just The Strip\",\n    \"legalName\": \"Strip LLC\",\n    \"url\": \"https:\/\/justthestrip.com\/\",\n    \"foundingDate\": \"2020\",\n    \"founder\": { \"@type\": \"Person\", \"name\": \"Tawnya Fornerod\", \"jobTitle\": \"Licensed Esthetician\" },\n    \"address\": { \"@type\": \"PostalAddress\", \"addressLocality\": \"Gold Hill\", \"addressRegion\": \"OR\", \"postalCode\": \"97525\", \"addressCountry\": \"US\" },\n    \"email\": \"hello@justthestrip.com\",\n    \"telephone\": \"+1-303-319-5056\"\n  },\n  \"audience\": { \"@type\": \"Audience\", \"audienceType\": \"Licensed estheticians, waxers, sugarists, and salon owners\" },\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do I use Smooth Operator in a waxing service?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Apply it to clean skin as soon as the wax is finished, let it air dry completely, then follow with Nourishing Oil.
