 Waxing Kit Jul 29, 2010
Although the wax takes a little bit longer to warm up than I thought, I still think this is a great product. Once I got the hang of it, it was pain free and really easy to do. It even saves me a ton of money every month, since I can do it all myself now!
 Results delivered! Jul 24, 2010
I approached is product with some skcepticism. I mean, c'mon, a Brazilian at home? It really did work! I love the hard wax method, just hair pull not skin tear. I haven't had a Brazilian in 15 years and was pretty sure I didn't want to go into a salon and embarrass myself. I accomplished all I needed in a short time. The DVD is explicit in an educational way, helpful but ohmygoodness. Watch it, it makes the process go more smoothly. My only negative (teeny tiny) is that this kit doesn't include the other cool accessories shown in the DVD. Would have loved the guideline strip and some of the lotions, but I'm pretty happy with my outcome. So, me and my guy are happy with the results, I love getting several salon-type treatments for less than the price of one, and I accomplished it myself. Good luck!
This wax is wonderful!!!! Jul 23, 2010
I love this wax!!! I started waxing myself (brazilian) about a year ago. I have only ever used hard wax on myself. I have had an in salon brazilian wax done with strips before, and I must say that I prefer the hard wax. You definitely feel less sticky afterwards. The only other wax I have used is SurgiCare brazilian hard wax. I must say the GiGi's brazilian hard wax is much better than SurgiCare's. The reasons I say that is because SurgiCare wax is microwavable, which is nice, except that you have to keep going back to the microwave to heat it. With this kit, you get the wax warmer which keeps the wax at a good consistency once it has heated up. Just put the wax in the warmer for about 40min to an hour on a little past the medium mark. Once it is all heated turn it down to low, and your good to go. Another reason why I like this wax over SurgiCare is because SurgiCare wax tends to get a little sticky and hard to take off if you put it on too thick. I didn't have that problem with this wax. Actually, this wax works better when you do have a good layer of wax. You don't want to put it on thin because is will dry faster, and you don't want it to get too dry because then it will not come off right. The application of the wax is the same. Once you get the hang of it, the time is takes you to complete the waxing will be shorter.

No more salon visits for waxing, this kit has got you covered! Jul 09, 2010
I decided to buy this kit based solely on the rave reviews it received and was not let down at all! Visiting the salon and getting waxed every month at $60/pop can really add up, especially when you can purchase this nice at home kit for less than what one visit costs. I use it mainly for at home brazilian waxes for myself only. I use it for underarms too but purchased it for my bikini area and will write my review based on that.
I began getting waxed about 6 months ago and only know what my esthetician used and what comes in this kit. I believe she used an all purpose wax - Nudesse.
First off, the video that is included is extremely helpful if you've never waxed yourself or used hard wax before. Unfortunately you have to see some woman's "neverminds" but it shows you exactly the texture the wax should be to apply it, how to apply it, and how to flick it and take it off. There is no guesswork on your part to getting it right, just follow the instructions on the video and you will do great!
There is no need for muslin strips when using hard wax - an added benefit and savings. When the wax is applied properly it comes all the way off with no problems, even in those areas that are hard to pull the skin tight.
The pain was barely noticeable, much much less than when I went to the salon to be waxed. I think this is because the wax doesn't stick to your skin and the only sensation you feel when it comes off is your hair coming out of your skin, not the wax being ripped off your skin. Even when the Esthetician used oil to prep the skin, I could still feel it sticking. My skin also isn't red when I'm done - at all.
The kit includes a small bottle of oil that is applied before you wax and a small bottle of cooling gel for when you are done. Both products worked magnificently for me. The video will explain how much you should use for the best results. Even though the bottles seem small, they will last quite a while if you are using this just for yourself in your home. The warmer heats the wax to the perfect temperature. It's true it takes a while for the wax to heat up, but after it is warm there is no need to run back and forth anywhere to re-heat or feel rushed to get it all done before the wax cools off too much. The applicators included work great - you only get ten each of three different sizes for a total of 30.
I am so pleased with this product I have already emailed my friends who I know wax and suggested they look into it too. I Love It, I'll never go back to shaving or to the salon again for my bikini waxing needs.
Great product Jul 07, 2010
The wax is great and the warmer works very well. Consistent temperature. So much nicer than the store-bought kits.
