JessicaChicago, ILGood Product, Would Buy Again.Have never had a professional wax or used a hard wax on my own before, so I was a bit nervous to try this. Overall I would say my experience was a good one. It took me a while to get the hang of how thick a coat of wax I should use. Also took me a while to find a happy medium of when to pull the strips off - kept pulling them off soon or ended up waiting too long, but eventually figured it out. The pain wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, so that was a plus. I worked with small areas and only had to pluck a few leftovers once I was done. I would definitely recommend lying a bunch of old towels or newspapers on the ground before using just in case you drip any on the floor. I cringe to think what would have happened if this wax had hit the floor or carpet. Overall a good product. I imagine it will continue to get easier with more experience. Definitely have enough to use 3 more times. First time user friendly.posted Sep 21, 2007Link to this post

KatieCaliforniaYou Get What You Pay For...I had never tried a waxing kit before, this kit was my first attempt. Never again will I buy a waxing kit, I guess I will be sticking to Shaving and Nair. There are too many lotions that go along with this product and when I finally got to the waxing it removed all of about 5 hairs. I noticed a few reviews suggesting this product to be pain free... as it would be expected, it hurts. Anyways, I dont recommend the product, go to a salon for a wax.posted Sep 20, 2007Link to this post

AngieNashville, TNLoved It!I loved this product! I was a little nervous at first because I have always gotten professional waxes, but havent been able to afford them lately. I didnt know if it would actually work. It took the hair off very easily, and I had less irritation than when I get it done at the salon. It was easy to use, but it got a little messy. Not a big deal. Im sure Ill get better at doing it the more I try. I took everyones advice to overheat the wax so it would last longer, and that was definitely smart. I only had to reheat it one time. I dont know if anyone has any pointers for doing a whole wax, not just a brazilian. Cant wait to try it again!posted Sep 15, 2007Link to this post

WalaaNo More Skin DamageI like this product because it is easy to use and with the least pain. Also it slows down hairsâ growth. It gives a silky touch without affecting the skin health.posted Sep 3, 2007Link to this post

JlcWorked Awesome.This stuff works just great. TIP: Use it with strips even though its stripless wax. This stuff is great, i did my own braz wax for the first time, and it was fast and fairly painless. I took an aleve a half hour before hand, i used numbing spray, (dont know if that helps or not) and just followed the directions. I put the stuff in the microwaves for a little over 30 seconds, but only the center was liquid, so i had to stir it. Just put it on in the direction of the hair, put a strip over it, patted it a little bit, pulled it off, and it was so no big deal what-so-ever. I love this stuff, I will never go to a salon again. I used half of the 8oz, so i figure i have one more to go. Only $7-10 a wax!! great deal.posted Sep 3, 2007Link to this post

KellyFirst Time Waxing Myself; Great Results!!Recently, I have developed an expensive habit of getting a brazilian bikini wax every 3-4 weeks. At $40 per wax, this was getting very expensive. I saw lots of good reviews on this site so decided to try the Gigi kit at home. It worked amazingly! My very first time using it went very smoothly (no put intended). As other people have said, I initially had to heat the wax longer, for about 1.5 minutes, and had to reheat the wax twice before I finished.I am extremely pleased with the results. They are better than the results from the professionals from Brazil! When they waxed me, they had to pluck many leftover hairs and I had to do more plucking when I got home. With the Gigi kit, I missed very few hairs and had to do very minimal plucking. And, I had enough wax leftover to do at least two, probably three, more waxings. Discovering this kit is sure to save me hundreds of dollars over my lifetime!I recommend this kit to anyone, but I would recommend going to a professional first for a few reasons:1. You can get used to the pain that comes with waxing and decide if the results are worth it (they are!).2. You can observe what the waxer does and mimic this when you use the kit at home.3. Every time you wax, the hair grows back finer and finer. So, if you get a professional wax, then wait for the hair to grow back and then try it on your own, you will be working with thinner, less coarse hair and it will be easier to do a thorough job. I hope this helps everyone!posted Aug 22, 2007Link to this post

Massage Lady In Central FloridaFloridaDon't Spend Your MoneyThis is by far the worst wax product on the market. It is incredibly messy and does not harden properly. And once you manage to remove the wax, it leaves a sticky film that is quite uncomfortable. Do some research and experiment with other waxes in the market, just stay far away from gigis.posted Aug 2, 2007Link to this post
