Less pain
This wax is very effective and causes less pain compared to others I’ve tried, especially for the bikini area. It works well, but you will need to buy popsicle sticks for spreading and fabric strips to remove it. It can get a little messy if youâre not careful, but it comes off easily as long as the fabric strip is applied properly. After use, my skin is less red and irritated than with other waxes. Itâs great at removing hair with minimal skin irritation, and it has a nice scent too. No residue left behind. Definitely recommend!

Great Wax
I really, really love this wax. I got the student starter kit around March and got this one to replace the wax I went through around August. So one can lasted me around 5 months, which is great. I use it for my legs and upper lip area and this wax works great on both.I really like the quality of this wax. I find it very easy to apply and I almost never have to go through the same area more than twice. With that being said, I’ve not used razors/creams etc. more than a few times in my entire life. I’m 26 and I’ve been getting waxed since I was 12/13. So having seen it done to me by professionals a billion times, I’m pretty familiar with the application. Since I had a great experience with this wax I thought sharing what I do could be helpful to some people/beginners out there.Consistency:The consistency is key. It should be like honey (I actually like it just a tiny bit thicker). Too thick = you’ll get a bruise, too thin = you’ll burn. I use the Gigi warmer that came with the student kit. When the can is full or 2/3 full, I warm it on high for 15 minutes. If it’s half or less than half full, I heat it less (around 10 minutes). Which melts half of the wax and there is an unmelted lump of wax in the middle. The reason I do this is the top center always melts the latest and by then, the rest is too runny for my taste. Waiting everything to melt and turning the warmer off and waiting for a couple of minutes could also work, but I just don’t have the patience. Depending on how long it takes you to wax, you might have to turn the warmer on/off a few times to keep the consistency.Exfoliate & Clean:Having your skin clean and dry is important. Lotions, water, sweat & oil etc prevents you from applying the wax evenly and even if you manage to apply, it doesn’t really stick to your hair so it doesn’t work. I also found that exfoliation beforehand helps a lot. It takes off the dead skin & exposes the hair better.Length of the hair:If you are a shaver, your hair gets thicker, so it becomes more noticeable. To get results from waxing, you might have to let go for a while (week / 2 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows) and try to live with it, so it gets long enough for the wax to actually pick it up. I had to shave a couple of times and in my case, my hair grows very slow so I had to wait 2 weeks after shaving. I generally wax every 3 – 4 weeks, because the hair in my legs are very thin and they aren’t noticeable before week 5.Set-up:I’ve read a lot of reviews about wax being messy, and it is. With every soft wax that will be the case. What I do is to put a few paper towels/old newspapers between where I pick up the wax with the spatula/applicator and where I apply it, because sometimes accidents happen and it really is a hard task to remove it from surfaces. And I recommend using a collar with this wax.Test:The first thing I do with every new brand or type of wax is to test it in a small area. If you have sensitive skin or allergies I would definitely recommend doing this before anything else. A little bit of redness is normal, but stay away if it makes your skin itch, swell, bruise. I actually test the wax in a small area every time I wax to check the temperature and avoid burning myself.Powder (or don’t):For the application, some people prefer lightly (key word being light) powder the area. I only use powder on my lips where I can control the amount of wax with my fingers. In my opinion, powder is only good with oily skin or on the areas you might be sweating. My skin is dry, so I don’t really need powder on my legs. Also, overdoing the powder can make your job harder than it is, make it hard to apply the wax, create clumps and make the wax useless.Application:I usually get enough wax to lightly cover the tip (around 1 inch in length) of the applicator. I apply a thin and even layer of wax toward the direction of my hair. I cover a small area, & try to never to cover a larger area than my palm on one go. Applying the wax to a very large area is a huge mistake I’ve seen my friends do. Wax dries, by the time you get to it so it gets stuck on your body, but it doesn’t stick to the strips and so you have a mess on your hands. The quality of the strips are also important. The strips I got with the kit really sucked, so I bought a roll of cloth strips. This way I can cut smaller pieces for my lip without wasting any material. Oh also, you have to pull the strips fast, and in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Pulling closer to your skin and pulling it really fast minimizes the pain.Pull your skin tight:In areas where your skin is soft and the surface isn’t tight & flat (in my case soft and wobbly inner tighs), you have to pull the skin up and tighten the area before you pull the strips. Otherwise you might pull your skin with the strip, which is crazy painful and you’ll definitely get a bruise. Trying to pull the strip slowly can also cause you to get a bruise.Get it off:I got a Wax-off with the student kit, but to be honest I only use it if my hands get sticky as I’m waxing. I like to use baby oil, which works way better than any cream that claims to remove wax from your body. I generally wait for an hour or two after I wax, get in the shower and use baby oil with warm water to take the remaining wax off.

Best wax ever
Iâve tried Gigiâs hard wax and then this pink Creme wax. And oh my gosh, this Creme wax is the absolute best. It is so easy to apply, virtually painless, and picks up the hairs so well. I used Gigiâs epilating strips with this Creme wax, which you can also purchase on Amazon. Iâve never left an Amazon review until now, but I had to since this is the best wax. Gets out all hairs, so easy to apply, and virtually painless. I tried on my legs, bikini area, and underarms. This wax is AMAZING.

Not great
I have always used harder waxes to wax myself and liked that experience so I figured Iâd try to use the softer wax and strips thinking I could do it faster. I was so wrong.. This wax is an absolute nightmare to work with! It is so sticky and leaves so much residue on my skin that I have left bruises trying to get it off. Not to mention it ruined my wax pot and I had to throw the whole thing away and just replace it because of the amount of spillage and dripping this wax did. It was literally on every surface and all over my skin. Nothing I used worked to get it off my skin, my warming pot, the lid, counters, floor, my chair and the sink. I think youâd have better luck if youâve worked with this type of wax before but for newbies to the softer wax, save yourself the trouble and the mess..

Good quality wax, but be careful!
I get waxed regularly and my wax lady uses this product. So naturally, to save money, I purchased this to try to do the wax at home by myself and FAILED. Unless you are a professional or at least know what youâre doing, donât use this. It can get really messy and dangerous! I accidently burned myself. Not from the temperature but the way I pulled the wax off. So be really careful! Overall itâs a good quality wax. It gets all my tough hair out when done by a professional. I donât recommend it for beginners.

My go-to for waxing
I’ve been using this brand for almost a decade. I’ve tried branching out to others to try, but I always go back to this brand when I want to use soft wax. I like that it can be used for facial hair or body hair. I do keep two of these cans, one specifically for my face and another for my body to prevent cross-contamination. Especially as my face is very sensitive and it usually breaks out into itchy spots after waxing. I feel like it grabs the most hair hair in one go. For my body hair, I do have spots where it’s more forest-like than others, so I go through one 14 oz can a year. The 14 oz for facial hair is barely 1/3 full after using it for years.I’ve not been consistent about waxing, so I only have bald spots on my legs where the hair stopped growing or occasionally 1-2 strands manage to grow. My sister, on the other hand, is more consistent and has a schedule, so she now has whole areas like her legs where the hair stopped growing or individual hair sparsely growing that she can pluck off with a tweezer or sometimes her fingernail.

I use this for my face and it gets EVERYTHING!!!! I love this stuff so much best wax I ever used. Gets every fine hair Iâm in love

This wax is great for beginners like me! When I pull the strip off, all the hair comes off in one go, so I donât have to re-wax the same area. I even did a bikini wax on myself, and it wasnât as painful as I expected. Iâd recommend taking a pain reliever about 30 minutes before waxing to help with discomfort. Iâll definitely buy this wax brand again!

After some research, i choose GIGI wax and it is soo good. It picks every hair perfectly. I got a bit red arm (that’s normal after wax) but got normal after few minutes. No irritation, no skin peeling. It is totally worth it. Should use this wax.

Iâve tried it twice, I use it for my underarms, and both times Iâve gotten a burn-rash, and did not remove all hairs – I guess not for sensitive skin – Iâd stick to Gigi honey wax
