Our Salon used to get our wax applicator sticks from a Hair Supply company but one of our hairstylists found out that we could get the same thing from Laboratory supply companies for much cheaper. We found a place that has boxes of 500 "Tongue Depressors" (the same thing) for about $5 and cheap shipping. If your like us and trying to save money everywhere you can check them out at www.GorillaScientific.com
