I have done the salon and the home kits and no matter what they say they all have pain. You are pulling the hair out from the roots. However the oil that comes with this kit seemed to have made a huge difference for me. I had forgot to apply the oil in one spot and it hurt a little more than all of the other areas. Also I was very pleased that it removed all the hair so I didn't have to repeat an area. I am very pleased with the product. It did take much longer to heat the product up than the instructions said. Oh for the messy container once I was done I waited for the wax to harden and I broke it off and put back into the container and the lid closed with no problems. (something I have run across often)
really enjoying the product

I have always gone to a professional to get all my waxing done, however, I recently experienced a large increase in my bill due to rising overhead costs. As much as I didn't want to seek other ways to solve the waxing issue, I decided I must or else my pocket book would be empty.
After reading many comments about this particular product I decided to purchase. I have not been dissapointed at all. When all the reviews said it didn't hurt as much as others I was surprised to find it was less painful than other products I'd tried before. I must say this product is wonderful.
As everyone says, a bit messy, but who wouldn't expect that with hot wax. I found it to be very manageable and easy to clean up. Great product-very satisfied customer!!!
It really works!

I just used this kit the other day and I can say it was worth it for the price you pay, especially if you're not totally sure this is something you would continue to do on your own vs. getting it done, like me...it's worth the $15 I think, whether you like it or not. I can tell you that it does what it says, without the strips! You have to be quick when pulling it off because it drys fast, so I don't know if I could be any quicker with the strips. I used this on my bikini area and it worked just like it said it would. From the root, no red bumps, silky smooth skin. The first application was painful, but when you see the results, you wanna finish it and it doesn't seem to hurt anymore. I love it. I'm looking for a warmer right now so that I can use it for my legs as well, the microwave application drys it out a little faster, which tends to become messy. But yah, I say it works and it's worth it if you're just wanting to try it out. If you like it and your patient, buy a warmer and quit spending money at the spa. Good luck.
Less pain!

After getting waxed with strips I decided to bring in my own wax. Hard wax is definitely the way to go and this brand is good for sensitive skin--not many red bumps developed afterward--a definite plus.
Pleased

I was very scared to try this. I have never waxed anything but my eyebrows. I must say it hurt. Maybe because im not used to it yet. I had gotten the numbing spray by gigi. I did not find it did anything. I read quite a few reviews and found someone talking about No scream cream. I looked it up and I plan to order some. I did not venture past the bikini area. However, This product DOES work. It totally removed the hair. I was very happy. I have dark thick hair. So even when id shave my bikini area it still looked like lil black dots and. Basically, you have to have a little patience if youve never done something like this yourself. I hope to be a pro by summer :) Overall great product
Wonderful!

I purchase Gigi Brazilian Bikini wax before any big event and it always does a wonderful job in removing any stubborn hairs. This is a wonderful produce and is the only Bikini wax that works for me!
A little pain, but it was worth it!

My second waxing experience (first for bikini area) and GiGi worked wonderfully! Obviously some regions were more sensitive than others, but that's not so surprising. All of the lotions in the kit smell amazing too, so it's definitely as pleasant of an experience as I could ask for. I would definitely recommend this product, although I personally might look for something with strips another time, since it's sometimes hard to find a good area to pull from.
First time waxing- no pain!

I read all the reviews and bought this product. This was my very first time waxing. For my first time I did the bikini area. My second time I did the brazilian wax-it was painless. I used the numbing spray the first time and didn't bother with it the second time. The directions were simple. I did microwave the wax a little bit longer than suggested and then just tested to make sure it wouldn't burn. I also heated a bowl of hot water and placed the container in it to keep it warm longer (you do have to heat it up a few times). Scooping up the wax and putting it on the area gets a little messy until you get the hang of it. Hint-don't put too much wax on the stick or you'll get it everywhere and end up pulling hair off when you're not ready. It's been 3 weeks and I only have to pluck stray hairs. I'm so glad I found this product and saved money.
No more strips for me!

Up until now, I've been using various brands that use cold wax strips, as I can't find a good Brazilian waxer in my area. Hmm, needless to say, I didn't have much luck with these - rubbish at getting all hair off, painful and useless on very coarse hair. GiGi, on the other hand, is EXCELLENT! I swear I have never had so little pain waxing before when taking a lot of hair off! Even on sensitive areas it was so easy, the hard wax and extra products make such a difference. It helps if you remember to take a good painkiller a while before. Use this one - you won't look back!

Awesome product. A little messy but it works great. Much easier to use than the strips....just make sure that you put some in a clear area to grab on to, and make sure the wax is completely dry before pulling. It does hurt a little, but not nearly as much as I thought it would...I actually think it hurts worse to have your eyebrows waxed!
wonderful

I worked at a salon and used to get my bikini wax done there. But this product did the exact same thing!!! I love it that I can do it at home. I thought it would really hurt but - nope! At first it was rather sloppy but, I got used to doing it and it's great! I would definatly recommend this product!
Gigi microwave wax is great!

I decided to try Gigi microwave wax for my bikini area after several failed attempts with waxes that require strips. There is no comparison whatsoever. Gigi microwave wax wins by a long shot. It was easy, of course their was some pain as with any wax,it left the area desired hair-free, and best of all it was very inexpensive! I would definately recommend this product to anyone looking for a nice, clean looking waxing without the cost of a salon wax!
I took the hair off!!!!

It hurt like hell, but it took the hair off. which says a lot because there are a lot of products out that don't. And i have very coarse hair.
i wish this company sold the kind with strips, it give you more control and leverage to remove the hair.
there where a couple of times where i could not find a good place to pull the wax from, had to painfully remove the wax and then try to do the spot again. also it could stand to have more wax in the pot.
OH THE PAIN

This torture kit is not something I would recommend to anyone. I may be sensitive and probably shouldn't have started off with a stripless kit, but the wax itself, even after correct application and pulling it off did not get all of the hair. Actually, more hair was left behind than was removed. All I can say is OUCH and I'll stick to shaving.
average hard wax

I love this product it is the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so tired of shaving and I was looking for anything so I didn't have to anymore. It hurts a little but not as bad as I thought it would. I love it. The pain is worth it not having to shave.
I LOVED IT!!!!!

I hsve used alot of products that have torn my skin up making it raw and very painful. I tried Gigi and at first it was painful because I was afraid of once again tearing up my skin. So I pulled nice and slow....OUCH!!! After a while I talked my husband into pulling for me and It was almost painless ( done faster ) even in most tender areas. My husband after the first few tries started to apply the wax in all directions, surounding the hair rather than one way and let me tell you there were no stray hairs and the wax never adhered to my skin. It has been almost 4 weeks and I am still baby smooth....I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
It is a great product!

Hi everyone! I did it myself and very happy with the result. This product is really working. No hair whatsoever! When you do it yourself it seems it's more painful than getting it done by a salon skin care therapist, but, in fact, it's not. Pre-opilation oil is excelent and helps to get hair off of your skin better.
I love it and intend to buy more...
Easy to use, but give me more wax

I liked ths product it was easy to use, pretty clean, meaning not too much left over wax residue. I would like to purchase the wax seperately, as the other products in the package will last a lot longer. Overall, two thumbs up.
This product is good

This product was great. I will not do this again on my own, I will go to the pro's for this one, until I get the technique down.. This did not hurt at all but it is much better than shaving though.. It takes about an hour or so. It is worth it. Hint if you are scared to get one done don't try this by yourself.. Get someone to pull it off for you or go to the shop and get it done
