I have only used this product on my face but this is so good! I have very fair skin and thick/ full dark eyebrows. For about 10 years I have been getting my eyebrows waxed every 2 weeks at the salon which is $30-$40 a month ($360 a year !!!!!) in waxing depending on the occasion to control them. This product saves me so much time and money. Since I have fair/sensitive skin I can wax in the comfort of my own home and be red for a few hours without the embarrassing walk of shame out of the salon with red eyebrows and/or upper lip. The only thing I don’t really like is the epillation strips but any beauty store sells a variety to replace if it really bothers you that much. These are more thin cloth like and I’m used to a more towel/cotton plush feel at the salon. They work just fine but I think I want to experiment with others to see what I like best. It was my first time using wax on myself so I was a little oblivious to the fact that it gets super messy quick and if you’re not careful everything is sticky - definitely put a towel down and keep out of reach from tiny humans and pets! As far as the waxing process, I was nervous but I did small sections at a time until I felt comfortable doing larger sections. I heated the wax on high according to instructions then kept it on low (45 min from start to finish). The stick to apply is angled so before you dip in the wax look at the applicator tip to see which direction you should hold the applicator stick to apply the wax evenly. I used a modest amount of wax and placed the apillation strip over and firm pressure. When ready I pulled the strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. I continued the process until I was done and then trimmed the eyebrows. If you make a mess on your hands or didn’t pull all the wax off it comes with a lotion that rubs the wax off and super helpful. I also think the pre-wax powder was a game changer and worth trying! Overall my eyebrows are still there and I am very happy! No break outs or irritation - just a little red for a few hours but that is normal for my skin from experience. *I don’t know how this works on the rest of the body and I don’t intend on finding out.* ☺️

Love the project wax is very smooth easy to work with. I would suggest watching a kit usage tutorial before hand though. The wax takes about 30 minutes to warm up, the only issue I had with it was the wax remover it barely worked but some coconut oil took it right off. So far perfect wax.

The only reason I didn't give this kit 5 stars is because of the quality of the strips. I've used the kit twice since I purchased and in both times I had issues with the strips. If the layer of wax you put on isn't thin enough, the thin strips get stuck easily and start to rip. To avoid this problem, I would recommend buying this kit together with a different set of strips. The wax isn't too sticky and it's manageable, but I guess any wax could feel too sticky for starters. To avoid creating a mess I would recommend putting a collar over the can and covering the floor and the area the wax will be moved through with paper towels. The wax off that comes with the kit seems to work for me but it comes in a small container, so it won't last long. I only use it when my hands get sticky as I'm waxing. I use baby oil to remove any remaining wax off my body, which works just as fine and I can use it in larger volumes. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It's half the price of one waxing appointment at the salon for me, and does its job well.

This Gigi wax melting machine is exactly like the ones used at mani/pedi places that also do facial hair removal. The kit comes with plenty of cloth strips and wooden sticks to get started. Pleasantly surprised and happy with this item.

Home waxing is so easy, thought I wouldn't be able to do the ripping, hey no pain, no gain. It was a little messy at first, not saying I've mastered the mess, you just need to take your time. performing your own waxing is nearly painless, no more appointments or waiting in line. My daughter and I wax ourselves or on another. The kit pays for itself in just a few applications. I've purchased extra paddles/sticks, collars and muslin strips. Additionally, keeping your area and machine wax free is easy too, I was reading where someone was taking about the wax cleaner product, they said it works "good", but it smells like acetone. BINGO! I'd just purchased a large bottle to remove heavy layers of nail polish; I used an old terry cloth, and a little muscle and my little Gigi is as good as new not mention my sink area. I'm doubly happy with this purchase, highly recommend!

I absolutely HATE this wax! Sticky, messy, not even the "wax off" bottle work well. I was so excited to try this waxing set and I'm so disappointed now. Sucks I can't not even return it. Ok so while I have my legs full of coconut oil to try to remove the rest of wax I'm writing this. So ok, honestly I don't think the problem is the warmer but the WAX, I bought the student kit that came (yesterday) with the all purpose honey wax and it's terrible the worse experience I had with wax, super sticky (yeah duh, I know "honey sticky"), it never get dry or hard. So everything u touch with it gets almost impossible to be removed. I will try with the hard wax from Gigi and give it a chace. I will keep living like a homo sapiens while I get the new hard wax and finger cross to work great. I will be definitely updating my review if I get a better experience with the next one. And if is not, well I will not be recommending this kit! *****UPDATE***** So after I tried the wax that cames with the kit the soft one honey wax and hated it I decide to buy the Brazilian Hard Wax from Gigi. I was very excited to try it bc this is the kind I was used to use before the hard kind. It just get dry and you pull it taking all your hair with it. It's way less messy then the soft kind but this one particularly the Brazilian hard wax after give it the chance it just disappointed me so bad! To be a hard kind it never gets dry! Never! It's like if I wax my legs with bubble gum, I'm so frustrated now! I try already 2 different wax from this brand and in my experience both sucks!! Terrible messy, I'm still have my legs all sticky and don't even talk about my poor armpit. Now, I will have to keep looking for a better hard wax. I will absolute not recommend this brand. Make your wallet a favor and skip this one! You can thanks me later.

It is a very good and useful starter kit.
