Professional Wax Strips | Pre-Cut & Roll Formats | Salon First Australia
Salon First supplies a comprehensive range of professional wax strips for salons, day spas, brow and body clinics, and mobile waxing services across Australia. Choose from pre-cut packs and roll formats in non-woven, spun lace, calico, and venetian materials — from leading professional brands including Caronlab, Lycon, Mancine, and Brow Code. Whether you're stocking a high-volume wax station or a mobile kit, Salon First has the right strip for every service, in the quantities your business needs.
Wax Strip Formats — Pre-Cut vs Roll
Choosing the right format comes down to your service mix and throughput. Pre-cut strips are the faster option for busy wax stations — no cutting required, consistent sizing, and less waste per treatment. They suit salons with high appointment volumes and services where strip size is standardised, such as leg, back, and underarm waxing. Roll format strips give you the flexibility to cut strips to exactly the size you need — ideal for facial waxing, brow shaping, and awkward contours where a standard pre-cut size would result in either waste or poor coverage.
Wax Strip Materials — Which Is Right for Your Service?
Different strip materials deliver different performance characteristics. Here's how the main options in this range compare:
- Non-woven (Dair & Superbond): the most popular all-purpose professional strip — strong, lint-free, and resistant to tearing. Suitable for body, leg, underarm, and facial services. The Caronlab Superbond range is specifically engineered for higher-adhesion waxes.
- Spun lace (90gsm): a heavier-weight non-woven fabric offering excellent strength and stretch resistance for large-area body waxing. The 90gsm weight handles thick wax application without tearing. Available in pre-cut and roll from Caronlab and Mancine.
- Venetian perforated spun lace: a premium perforated fabric that provides superior grip and clean release, particularly suited to sensitive skin and precision work. Available in pre-cut and bulk roll from Caronlab.
- Calico (bleached & unbleached): a natural cotton fabric strip that offers excellent strength and wax adhesion for traditional strip waxing. Bleached calico is preferred where a clean appearance is important; unbleached suits salons focused on natural and organic service offerings. Available in roll and pre-cut from Caronlab and Salon & Spa.
- Lycon Epilace: Lycon's signature strip designed specifically for use with their wax range — pre-cut and roll formats available in 50m, 100m, 250 pack, and 500 pack.

Wax Strip FAQs
What is the difference between non-woven and spun lace wax strips?
Non-woven strips are a lighter-weight fabric suited to everyday salon use across body and facial services. Spun lace is a heavier-weight construction — typically 90gsm — offering greater strength and stretch resistance, making it better suited to large-area body waxing where strip tearing is a concern.
Should I use pre-cut strips or roll strips?
Pre-cut strips are faster for high-throughput services with standardised strip sizing — leg, back, and underarm waxing. Roll strips give you flexibility to cut to size, making them the better choice for facial and brow waxing, and for salons that prefer to minimise waste by cutting only what they need.
Can I use any wax strip brand with any wax?
Generally yes — most professional non-woven and spun lace strips are compatible with all standard strip waxes. The exception is Lycon's Epilace strips, which are designed for use with Lycon wax, and Caronlab's Superbond strips, which are specifically engineered for use with higher-adhesion wax formulas. If you're using a specialist wax, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
What size wax strips do I need for brow and facial waxing?
For brow and lip waxing, small pre-cut strips or facial-specific strips are the most efficient choice — the Caronlab Superbond Lip & Brow & Facial Strips (1,000 pack) are specifically sized for these services. Alternatively, a roll format allows you to cut strips to whatever size your facial work requires.
