Review: 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.
Review: Smells yummy, & works well - As an esthetician, I like to try some products on myself before committing to using them on my clients. I have used Gigi wax in the past & have liked them, but this one is a new one for me & sounded nice so I thought I'd give it a go! The product arrived on time & packaged alright. It didn't have a plastic or foil tin covering over the top & under the plastic lid to keep it from leaking out, so there was a little run over onto the edges of the lid. Not a huge deal, but it made me wonder whether or not it had been previously opened & repackaged with the plastic resealed around the outside. If it had somehow come loose during shipping, there would have been a wax mess, so just a caution there. The container was slightly damaged as you can see in the photos, but not bad enough that anything was leaking & made the product unusable so I didn't bother returning. Upon opening the tin, the edges were very sticky, as wax is, but as I said before there was no seal so it did get around the edges, but the stickiness kept the lid on. The smell was deliciously pleasant. If you love chocolate like I do, this is a great smelling wax! I put the wax collar on, & placed it in my warmer to try it out. Once heated up, the aromatic scent of warm chocolate filled the room. While it took awhile to melt, it worked alright. It was extremely sticky, & spread thickly, so I had to work quickly to get it evenly on my skin. The first few times was a learning experience. It builds up quickly on the muslin, & you don't get much use out of one strip as you would other waxes. However, I did find that since it was so tacky, I was able to use it on one area, then lay the strip over part of another waxed area that had some remaining hairs, spread it out & pull it again to pick them up. It does seep through the cloth to the back side, as well as spread out from under it after placing the cloth, so you have to be mindful of that when waxing (this could have also been the type of strips I was using), but the best bet would be going thin with the application. It was quite messy to use compared to other waxes, but it did the trick. I used it on my legs, under arms, & bikini line & it didn't leave me with any rash, redness or unusual swelling. This was my experience & my skin is tolerant to certain things & sensitive to others, but always remember to do a small patch test before waxing. I would recommend using this on legs, underarms & if you're doing an American or French bikini wax. It works good for coarse hair. I followed up with using a post epilation oil with Azulene & find that to be beneficial especially with sensitive skin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No fancy tools required.
*by D***K on September 21, 2025*

Fairly impressed with this soft wax. I was looking for an alternative to the Nads Sugar Wax which was reformulated and is garbage now. I don’t have any fancy tools, warmers, soothers, ect. I warmed it up gently in a small pan of water until it got to its creamy consistency and then applied as usual with a wide popsicle stick and waxing strips. I did notice that the wax was insanely sticky, which is why it worked so well to remove even some shorter hairs. I simply used some vitamin E oil to remove leftover wax and stickiness and to smooth out my underarm skin. Overall I really do like it and will most likely buy some more when I run out.
