Other / Persona que depila
Spanish term or phrase: Depiladora
Noto que no es común la palabra "waxer" para "depiladora". Debo completar dentro de los datos personales de una persona en un acta de matrimonio la ocupación y figura depiladora. ¿Se utiliza "waxer"?

ALTERNATIVELY: Epilation specialist/expert

Subsequently, the epilation specialist imposes individual paper strips and removes the piece along with the remaining wax and hair after a few seconds when the wax hardens well on the hair.
