One wax does not fit every service
Hard and soft waxes have different strengths. Professional choice responds to the area, hair, skin, and manufacturer instructions.

Build a versatile waxing service foundation
This beginner course takes you beyond a single area or routine. Across two in-person training days, you will learn how consultation, skin and hair assessment, product choice, controlled technique, client comfort, and aftercare come together in professional facial and body waxing.
You will train across several commonly requested areas, including brows, upper lip, arms, underarms, lower legs, and bikini line. This broader foundation can support a flexible menu of individual services and combinations that work alongside nails, lashes, tinting, facials, or other esthetics services.
Waxing is a hands-on skill where small details matter. Your educator can see how you prepare the skin, read the direction of growth, hold the skin, control the wax, position the client, and complete each removal. Immediate correction helps you understand what to adjust before an uncertain habit becomes part of your routine.
Three scheduled in-class model blocks let you repeat the process with different service areas and clients. The course also includes documented practice outside the scheduled model blocks so your learning continues between guided sessions.
Professional judgement is taught alongside technique. You will learn how consultation, contraindications, skin condition, hair growth, and the service area influence whether to proceed, which professional wax to use, and how to adapt the appointment responsibly.
Sanitation, single-use practices, workstation preparation, client communication, draping, comfort, aftercare, and problem-solving are integrated into the service from the beginning. These habits help create the clean, calm experience that clients remember and return for.
After successful completion of the written and practical assessments, you will receive Nove Academy Facial and Body Waxing certification and leave with a professional kit. You will have a strong beginner foundation, practical experience, and clear next steps for continuing to build consistency and confidence.

Learn for today’s waxing client
Clients notice more than smooth skin. They notice confident consultation, careful positioning, a clean station, clear communication, and a service that feels considered from beginning to end.
In-person training helps you understand how professional decisions change across areas, hair patterns, skin conditions, and client needs.
Technique protects the experience
Controlled sections, correct growth direction, skin support, removal angle, and immediate pressure all influence comfort and results.
Consultation guides the appointment
Medication, recent skin treatments, sensitivities, and visible concerns can change whether and how a service should proceed.
Rebooking begins with client care
Professional finishing, aftercare, honest expectations, and a calm service flow help build the trust behind repeat maintenance visits.
Frequently asked questions
Considering professional waxing training? These answers explain the course scope, learning experience, career potential, and enrollment process.
Choosing your training
Is the Facial and Body Waxing course suitable for beginners?
Yes. The course builds a professional beginner foundation from consultation and sanitation through guided facial and body services, assessments, and continued practice.
Do I need previous esthetics training?
No previous waxing certificate is required. The course is designed to teach the service from the beginning in a structured classroom environment.
Is Nove Academy accredited?
Yes. Nove Academy provides accredited professional training in a structured classroom environment.
How experienced is Nove Academy?
Nove Academy has provided hands-on professional beauty education for over 11 years and has trained more than 600 graduates. Some of Saskatoon’s most respected and talented nail artists began their initial training at Nove.
Why should I learn waxing in person instead of online?
There is no comparison to having an educator beside you. Wax temperature, section size, growth direction, skin support, removal angle, positioning, and client comfort can be observed and corrected while you work—something a prerecorded video cannot do.
Does this course include Brazilian waxing?
No. This course teaches a broad facial and body foundation, including bikini-line waxing, but Brazilian waxing requires separate advanced training.
The learning experience
What areas will I learn to wax?
Scheduled practical work includes brows, upper lip, arms, underarms, lower legs, and bikini line, giving you experience across facial and body services.
Will I work on real models?
Yes. The course includes three scheduled in-class model blocks. Students are responsible for arranging suitable models according to the course requirements.
Will I learn both hard and soft wax?
Yes. You will learn how professional wax selection changes with the service area, hair, skin, and the instructions for the product system being used.
Will I learn brow shaping?
Yes. Brow consultation, shape planning, symmetry, controlled waxing, and finishing are included within the facial-waxing training.
Will I learn safe and professional service habits?
Yes. Consultation, contraindications, workstation preparation, single-use practices, no double-dipping, cleaning, disinfection, client comfort, and aftercare are built into the course.
What is included with the course?
The course includes in-person instruction, theory and practical education, guided model work, supporting course materials, a professional kit, assessments, and certification after successful completion. A textbook is required; you may bring your own or a borrowed copy, or rent one from Nove.
Are there written and practical assessments?
Yes. Students complete both written and practical assessments to demonstrate the knowledge and service habits taught in class.
Your professional path
Will I be ready to begin working with clients after the course?
You will leave with professional training, guided model experience, certification after successful completion, and a professional kit. This gives you a strong foundation for beginning responsibly while speed, consistency, and confidence continue to grow through practice.
Can waxing fit into an existing beauty business?
Yes. Brow, facial, underarm, arm, leg, and bikini-line services can be offered individually or in combinations, and they pair naturally with nails, lashes, facials, tinting, and other esthetics services.
How much could I make as a self-employed waxing professional?
Nove Academy’s published example uses a $55 lower-leg, underarm, and brow package, six clients per day, and five days per week. That equals $330 in daily service sales, $1,650 per week, or $6,600 over four weeks. After the example’s estimated supplies, $5,040 remains over four weeks before other business expenses and taxes. This is a fully booked planning illustration, not a promise of income.
Does Nove support graduates after training?
Nove Academy and Nove Wholesale give graduates a continuing connection to professional products, product knowledge, and an experienced local team as they build their skills and services.
Enrollment and cost
What is the difference between standard and private training?
Standard training is taught in a small-class format. Private training places one student with the educator. The core curriculum is the same, while tuition and deposit requirements differ.
How much does the course cost, and how do I reserve my place?
The standard course total is $849, including tuition, the professional kit, GST, and PST where applicable. A $350 deposit secures your place. View current Academy dates, choose your preferred date during checkout, or call 306-975-3773 for help enrolling.
