Nufree Tips!

1.)  DID YOU KNOW THAT NUFREE NEVER DRIES?

Nufree stays pliable at body temperature.
As long as the client stays at 98.6 or higher, Nufree can be removed at any time after application.

This allows large areas to be applied all at once. And taking your time when arching a brow. Faster, better service for the client.

2.)  HOW DO YOU APPLY NUFREE TO ACHIEVE THE THINNEST APPLICATION?

Always hold the applicator at 45 to 90 degree angle. Allow Nufree to fall on the area (skin) then simply push the Nufree with the applicator. Do not "butter" Nufree on.

Havana Spa Responds to Market Trends, Offers Men's Hair Removal, aka "Manscaping," Using 100% Botanical Nufree


CHICAGO, Nov. XX, 2014 – Havana Spa (http://www.spahavananights.com/) recognizes that more men than ever are pursuing the smooth, sleek look of a professional athlete. After all, looking one's best shouldn't be the exclusive concern of women. To meet this growing demand, the spa offers professional hair removal for men using the latest and best products and techniques. Learn more about these services here: http://www.spahavananights.com/chicago-spa-services/chicago-mens-waxing/.

"In the past, male athletes, especially swimmers, made up the entire men's hair removal market. But today, men from all walks of life have come to appreciate the aesthetic quality of smooth, healthy skin," explained Havana Spa Owner Sandra Plasencia Casanova. "As men age, body hair often becomes more prominent, but even young men have been visiting the spa for hair removal."

Havana Spa uses Nufree for its hair removal treatment. Nufree is not a wax but a botanical formula that's safe for virtually the entire body. The product does not stick to skin or dry out like wax typically does; hair removal with Nufree is therefore painless and leaves behind no redness or swelling. Because the product uses no artificial chemicals or sugars, clients are free to tan, shower or apply cosmetics or lotion to the skin immediately following a treatment.

Surveys have shown that most men have tried hair removal at some point. Shaving is the most common approach, but waxing is growing in popularity. Casanova suggests that Nufree offers the best of both worlds – the effectiveness of waxing with the relative ease of shaving. The pain-free aspect of hair removal with Nufree is one that all clients can get behind; "40-Year-Old Virgin," this isn't. While it might have been true in the past that a little discomfort was necessary to achieve that smooth and defined appearance, that's not the case anymore.

Nufree was developed more than 30 years ago as a pre-treatment for plastic surgery procedures and quickly became the "gold standard" in the industry. Unlike waxes, it removes the entire hair shaft and bulb rather than breaking it. Nufree also boasts antibacterial and antimicrobial properties as well as being completely botanical, making it safe for even for the most sensitive skin.

Hair removal with Nufree is typically followed up with Finipil, adding a layer of protection against ingrown hairs and bacterial infections. Dermatologist tested and approved, Finipil kills more than 99% of bacteria lingering on the skin but is gentle enough for daily use. The product protects vulnerable hair follicles from infection while also working to slow hair regrowth, meaning clients can wait longer between hair removal treatments.

We do not promote double dipping.


We do not promote double dipping because of the State rules and individual State positions. 

However our research and studies, patents, tests, etc. provide that our patent pending formula is the only product in its category that is an antibacterial, antimicrobial, self preserving and anhydrous product. Under the State Board of Cosmetology, you cannot double dip anything; not even a face cream or a hair gel if it is from a bottle and not a cosmetic measured dropper or tube. Many people of course in Medical situations or when it is a basket of product for that" individual" as we do for special cases the situation is different.

However, many people in the first 20 years of using Nufree double dipped and never had an instance or a problem. Now 38 years later, States have changed. Even licensing has changed and it will probably change again. You have to follow State rules.

 We are not just a "beauty" company we are an FDA registered lab and deal with special needs and safer practices. We started with Medical and Electrolysis people concerning the problems that ordinary waxing causes in the long run and developed this system for those special problems. Henceforth, it is in salons, spas etc. because it is better, more reasonable, and desired by the public as the safer choice.

Please note our answer to the Big Costs of disposables both for the pocketbook and the environment; is to invent and patent, a disinfectant heated system for an anhydrous product.
Our Medical Stainless Steel applicators can be cleaned and ready for the next dip. You are not disposing of a tree you are using a long sustainable material because of its quality will last for years and it enables you to have several clean applicators ready. You are NOT double dipping you are changing for a clean applicator, saving the environment and spreading the product even thinner so it costs less and works better.

Hair Removal Equals Big Business for Nufree Salons

By Laurie Humphrey

GREAT write up about Nufree finipil from one of our distributors The Industry Source!

More and more people may be daring to go bare across the country right now, but according to Normajean Fusco, hair removal is in-demand all year round regardless of how much skin you’re showing when you leave your house. She expects this trend to continue along with high profit margins to service providers using Nufree.

“There is no gap in business between seasons for us. Nufree has a return of 80:1 and I predict salons who already offer the non-wax hair removal system will be expanding their services and those salons who have not tried Nufree yet will be looking at it as a healthier, safer, easier and cost-effective hair removal choice,” says Normajean, Nufree CEO.

The increase in hair removal business, especially among men, a group that makes up about 30 percent of Nufree’s current client base, is attributed to two factors: good health and societal influence.

The argument for hair removal as part of a person’s regular grooming routine was made years ago for both men and women, but NormaJean says men now have more reason to maintain smooth and hair-free backs, chests, groins and even armpits.

“I just wrote an article for a dating magazine after they had polled women to see what was most important to them when it came to choosing a partner. Women overwhelmingly said they didn’t want to be with hairy men,” she says.

There is more than one way to remove hair. From shaving to depilatory creams, laser treatments and electrolysis to waxing, different options offer different pros and cons, but according to NormaJean, Nufree is the safest, easiest, cleanest and most pain-free option. Treatments take 5 to 10 minutes on average, cost between $20 and $80 per application depending on the size of the area to receive treatment and Nufree uses natural products.

“When you put Nufree on your legs for instance, you could literally go out to a restaurant, have lunch for two hours, cross your legs and never stick and then come back to the salon to finish the treatment. We have the only product where you can do that, because Nufree never dries out. It’s made with triglycerides that don’t evaporate and don’t stick to skin. Our product sticks to oil so the top layer of skin is never pulled and the hair does not break,” NormaJean says.

Nufree clients can receive a treatment and then go right out in the sun, go swimming, or put on deodorant minutes later. It has been used in salons for 30 years, but it was initially created for the medical industry (pre-surgical patients in need of a gentle, safe hair-removal system) before moving into the spa market in 1979.

According to Normajean, electrolysis was the standard, but it was not working for everyone – it was too expensive and too harsh for some patients - and early waxing treatments caused burns.

When spas and other treatment centers switched over to Nufree (salons were not offering hair removal services at that time), profits went up immediately for two reasons: Nufree drew new clientele and it went on thinner than wax, so each can of Nufree could cover 25 percent more services.

“I can get up to 20 pairs of legs out of a 16 oz. can of Nufree,” says Normajean. Consequently, the cost of hair removal services also went down, making the treatment more affordable for the everyday client by the early-80s. The profit margins made it attractive for salons which were losing money due to the economic recession, so the service became widespread.

“When Nufree is used with the Finipil, an antiseptic after-treatment cream that prevents infections and ingrown hairs, providers have no liability as long as they don’t mix my product with anything else,” she says, “and Finipil has a profit margin of 200:1.”

Nufree customers vary in age, economic strata, gender and occupation. “I have always believed that feeling good about yourself shouldn’t just be for the wealthy so we made it possible to feel good whether you are a model, a professional athlete, a factory worker, a stay-at-home mom or a professional who works in an office,” she says.

When asked which treatments were most popular, Normajean says middle America gravitates toward the eyebrows and upper lip, “but it’s the eyebrows and legs that will be your real money makers.”

Nufree tip of the week.

No need to pre prep the area.......prior to a Nufree procedure.
Nufree needs the natural oils on the hair shaft in order to adhere. If you remove the oils, Nufree may not stick as well to the hair!
If the client is shiny. (meaning they could be perspiring) Simply blot the area with a clean towel or use a Nufree strip to blot.

NUFREE INFO OF THE WEEK

1. Always use the applicators at a 90 degree angle. This will allow Nufree to be applied as thinly as possible.

2. Always use the scraper bar in the center of the heater to keep your heater clean.
If you scrap on the side of the heater, it can get gunky. Use Nufree Erasing Lotion to wipe up spills.

3. Nufree kills germs at low temperatures! Keeping your clients safe!
