Wax ExplosionI am a licensed professional and I have used the hard wax with a warmer, never ever have I had a burn incident until I decided to try this microwave formula. I checked it after 20 seconds and it started to form an air pocket, it was turning into a dome and rising, yet the top was still hard and unmelted. After 40 seconds I took it out to stir and the top was raised even higher, still hard and unmelted so I proceded to mix and push it down so that it would all be melted and it exploded all over my arm, hand and breast. I have second degree burns as a result. It was not melting uniformly and I will never use microwave wax again.posted Dec 14, 2007Link to this post -

Good Thing I Only Wasted $15I think about a fourth of the hair was actually removed. No point to buy this product at all. After I am done writing this review I am calling the closest professional to get the job done because this definitely did not.posted Nov 11, 2007Link to this post

Love It!!This product will save me a ton of money!! I do need some practice with it, but am very pleased with the results. Best of all, no more embarassment of having someone else do this and also it was much more comfortable - it removed the hair but I didnt have near the pain I experience when done professionally. Will definitely buy/use again.posted Oct 30, 2007Link to this post -

Not Too Bad...After doing ALOT of research on-line, I chose this product. I have NEVER had a wax before and just could not bring myself to bare all to a stranger (no matter how many other people that person may have waxed/seen).First, I laid down some packing paper to sit on that I recycled from a package I had received (although used newspapers would work too). I made sure to heat the wax for about two minutes (stirring/checking after 1 minute) to make sure it was runny enough (like mentioned in other reviews). Then I applied the product in small sections, waited for it to harden (tap it and its no longer gooey), then yanked on it. OW! Parts werent too bad but other parts HURT. It probably would have worked better if I had applied even smaller patches (no bigger than a quarter).The wax remover did not work as well as I had hoped, but I was still able to get the excess wax off with a little extra effort.Overall I think this is a good product and gets easier to use with experience. Id buy it again.posted Oct 29, 2007Link to this post -

First Time UserI thought the kit was relatively simple to use; although, I primarily used only the wax. I bought cloth strips separately and used them to remove the wax. This seems to work better than using the wax alone. Be very cautious not to spill the wax on floors, etc. It also helps to clip the hair to 1/4" before waxing to avoid matting.posted Oct 29, 2007Link to this post

Pretty GoodI like this product. It actually got pretty much all of the hair out and smells very nice. It melts well and everything, but it certainly can get a bit messy. It also really hurt, but I think thats just because its ripping your hair out, not because the wax is bad.posted Oct 29, 2007Link to this post

Great For Men TooLOVED it. At $65 for a pro, this was as easy and efficient as its going to get for a do it yourself experience. And i save $50 bucks every 2 months. It worked EVERYWHERE. Wax on in the direction of hair, wax off in the oppisite direction, making sure you hold the skin tight. (not easy for guys). I did a better job than one of the "pros" i went to who ripped off skin with strips that should have never been in that location to start with.posted Oct 24, 2007Link to this post

Very ImpressedI was very impressed with this product. I, too, had been getting waxes for about a year and was tired of forking out money. I do think the first time you ever get one should be done by a professional so you see how they do it. I would have made more of a mess and hurt myself if I just tried it on my own. Every brazillian wax is painful so no one should be getting upset with that. You cannot get around it. It is messy but with experience it will be easy. I am getting a another jar today so I never run out. I was very satisifed and recommend this to anyone who goes to the salon once a month! Save your money and time!!posted Oct 24, 2007Link to this post

No Need For Salon Ever Again!I actually tried waxing the land from down under with a different GiGi wax before (a month after going to the salon), and that was the most horrible idea I have ever carried out. It ripped off some skin in some sensitive areas, and I was in pain for a week, and I thought "great. I have to spend $50 every month just go have this done?" So I did some research on Google, and this site popped up, and I found this specific wax to have the most highest ratings, so I tried it out. Fast shipping, by the way. It took me a total of two minutes and 15 seconds to get the wax to be usable though, but the process was surprisingly fast, painless and clean! I would suggest people to start the process from the lower parts though, just because you have to pick at the wax at the side and if theres hair thats partially stuck to the wax on that particular side, itll be painful when you rip it off. And yes, you dont need a strip as long as you wait for the wax to cool off and be pliable. Also, apply thick layer of wax, or else it will rip/break off in pieces and you would have to spend a long time picking at the pieces. I love this product so much, thank God I dont have to go back to the salon ever again!posted Oct 9, 2007Link to this post
