Home waxing studio

Local women and men wanting regular hair removal, often on a 4 to 6 week cycle, plus clients wanting brow shaping before events.

Fixed price per treatment, with regulars rebooking. Add-ons such as brow tinting or packages for several areas lift the average sale.

• Waxing technique and a gentle touch
• Strict hygiene habits
• Friendly, discreet client care
• Booking and time management

• Council approval for running a business from home, and any skin penetration or hygiene registration rules in your state or territory
• Public liability insurance and treatment or professional indemnity cover
• Infection control: single-use applicators, no double dipping, clean surfaces and proper waste disposal
• Skin reactions and clients with conditions or medications that make waxing unsafe, so use a consultation form and patch test where appropriate

Our estimates put startup costs typically around $1,500 to $6,000, depending on your equipment, treatment room setup and supplies. Get your own quotes for equipment and insurance before you commit.

Estimated monthly revenue is typically around $800 to $4,000, depending on how many clients you book and what you charge. Estimates assume at least about 8 hours a week, so it can suit part-time work.

Check council approval for running a business from home, plus any skin penetration or hygiene registration rules in your state or territory. Also check public liability and professional indemnity cover, infection control practices, and how you handle clients with conditions or medications that make waxing unsafe.
