Perception of Waxing Practitioner Licensing System

Abstract

This study attempted to investigate the perception of the technical qualification system for waxing. Waxing is one of the tasks done by aestheticians. For this study, a questionnaire was performed among aesthetic salon employees. A total of 220 copies were distributed, and 208 were used for the final analysis. Empirical analysis was performed to assess the significance level. For statistical analysis, validity, and reliability were analyzed, using SPSS WIN 21.0. Furthermore, descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation analysis, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan’s test were conducted, and the results found the following: For the perception of the national technical qualification system and waxing, a statistically significant difference was found. In the perception of the issuance of new national waxing licenses, no statistically significant difference was observed. When asked why such new national technical qualifications are needed, ‘an independent national waxing license is needed depending on the segmentation and the professionalization of waxing’ was the most common response. This study examined how aesthetic salon employees view waxing. It is anticipated that the study results would be used as basic data for studies on the issuance of new national waxing licenses.
