Ear Candling - TanToday

Does anyone do ear candling in your salon. If so, how much do you charge for the service and is it worth the investment

Le · 8th December 2005, 04:48 PM

I pay $20.00 at a local vitamin shop. It works wonders, I am know sure how you would market it however. Another place that does it is a day-spa and they charge $45.00.

Can someone explain what this is?

sparky · 8th December 2005, 05:14 PM

I've got some weird vision of some JoeSchmoe sticking a wick in my ear, putting me in a Dentist-style chair, and pouring hot wax.

Either that, or a really blunt instrument gets stuck in my pinna to harvest the latest potato patch.

I do it at my salon...myself... I have been professionally trained and have a certificate...I strongly suggest that the person doing so on you have the same. As there have been cases reported of burning the ear drum if it is not done correctly.

It helps with colds...sinus and ear infections...and any kind of ear imbalances you may have experienced...also with a wax build up...it really fells great after.

I charge $45 for one session it takes approx 1/2 hour...or I sell mulitples just like packages!...

It is a muslin gauze wrapped in a cone and then dipped in beeswax...it is then placed carefully in the ear and lit at the opposite end...there should be fire retardent material covering your head and shoulder area...

Once it is lit it works like a tornado effect on the inside of the cone and basically sucks the unnecessary toxins and build up from you ear...

Once complete you should refrain from swimming...airplanes...motorcycles...etc. for 24 hours and the attendant should place some cotton batten in your ears before you leave the salon...in which you should leave in for a few hours...

Anything else????

After I have mine done, I swear I can plug my nose and mouth, and smell through my ear.

engfant · 8th December 2005, 06:14 PM

what the hell are you all talking about? Ear candleing? What? Is this for real? Ear toxins????? LIGHTING A WICK IN YOUR HEAD???????

Le · 8th December 2005, 06:24 PM

It's awesome dude, way better than any drug. No need to smoke a spliff, just light up your ear.

engfant · 8th December 2005, 06:28 PM

so I stick the joint in my EAR???? Is that how CLINTON did it?

He actually stuck something else in HER ear.

No no

It was a cigar.

and SHE stuck it somewhere .....???

engfant · 8th December 2005, 06:48 PM

well, ok he wasn't a very good....er...aim. I still don't get it. Is it melting the wax in your ear? Like an ear douche'n?

Why doesn't water work???

imported_joschoe · 8th December 2005, 08:02 PM

Thanks Le for the reply. I was told that spas in my area do it for $45.00. I tried it on my husband and myself with someone"s help of course. I was impressed and thought I would offer it in my salon. Tanspa where can you get certified?

Le · 8th December 2005, 08:26 PM

The smoke rolls down the funnel into your ear and when it cools it comes back out carring ear wax with it. They deposit the wax several time during the session and you would be amazed at the amount of crap in your ear.

I am not sure if smoking a joint in your ear would do the same or not?

I have done this for years on myself and my children. Amazing results if you have any sinus problems. I buy them at a local health food store for $2.25 each.

This is clearly a rip-off of a concept I developed several years ago...nose candling. I came up with the concept to remove snot from the noses of the horrible little children in my neighborhood. There were a few minor glitches in perfecting the process (burns/temporary asphyxiation), but only one hospitalization. Most of the parents were quite supportive, and only a couple complained about not getting their consent...but even those parents were thrilled with the clean noses their kids came home with.

The concept works so well that I'm working on vaginal candling as an effective alternative to an expensive and dangerous first-term abortion.

engfant · 10th December 2005, 05:15 PM

Wooo Shirl! Now THAT'S a good post right there.

HBT6872 · 11th December 2005, 04:06 PM

I usually do not enjoy Shirls posts, but that was some funny stuff.

Jim Fisher · 11th December 2005, 05:00 PM

I need this done to me

HBT6872 · 11th December 2005, 05:03 PM

You would!
