Tay P.Los ANgeles, CA. 90019HairBlackThick or Coarse HairI Will Never Payto Wax Again, As Long As I Have My Smooth Satin Waxing Kit!It's not my fault I am part italian! My side burns were a bit of an issue, especially because I like to wear my hair up a lot ( I'm a bun freak thanks to Kortney Kardashian). Anyhow, I would go once a month for a full facial waxing which run me $30 plus a tip. Well thats the same amount I paid for this little baby, that I own, and now I can wax whenever I feel like it.... Once you have the waxing part down, it's incredible. I've messed up, put too much wax on my skin, didn't let the wax cool long enough....all sorts of scenarios, but once I mastered my technique I fell deeper in love. Now I wax my face, arms, and legs. Going to a spa, waxing those areas would easily exceeds $100.
Get it, try it, and love it. Check out YouTube, they may have helpful tutorials in perfecting your waxing technique!posted Sep 20, 2011Link to this post -
Erica A.MississippiHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairSurpassed My ExpectationsSo I guess some of the reviews I read had me a little skeptical, but let me tell you from someone who has always paid to get their eyebrows done, this product is fabulous. I have never waxed anything in my life other than my vehicle. It was really easy to use. The wax was a little gooey but it was not that bad at all. The next time I will try using a toothpick for the spots that I want just a tiny bit. I found different tutorials online and on youtube for waxing eyebrows. Great info out there. With this product, get ready to save your money.posted Aug 15, 2011Link to this post

Tricia S.Works Great But MessyUsed this product on my bikini area. The wax and strips get pretty messy. Make sure you have the product remover handy.posted Jul 30, 2011Link to this post

JamieFloridaHairLight BrownNormal HairLove...love...love This Set!!!I'm a first time self waxer and I've got to tell you that I love this kit! It was delivered to my house this afternoon and I used this evening. The instructions tell you everything you need to know to use the kit. I did my eyebrows and they turned out great, It actually took me less time than tweezing them! I also did my bikini area and I'm smooth as silk. If you've never waxed before I would recomeend that you watch some youtube videos for some waxing tips before starting, that's what I did and I couldn't be happier with the results!posted Jul 13, 2011Link to this post

SandyWisconsinThis Waxing Kit Was A Smash-hit On Girls' Weekend!!I recently attended a girls' getaway weekend with 6 good friends and brought this waxing kit with me. Aside from the good company, "spa day" MADE the weekend! We had a blast applying a little TLC, and great laughs, too! Waxing with this kit is so easy, time-efficient, and inexpensive that at least three of the ladies plan to buy this kit for themselves! In just a couple of brow or lip waxes, the kit has already paid for itself. I recommend ordering extra wax residue remover - that is what you'll run out of first. There is enough wax in one can to go a long, LONG way.posted Jun 20, 2011Link to this post

Maha L.Brooklyn, NYHairBlackThick or Coarse HairPretty Damn Good If I Wasn't So Scared Of It!This takes courage man! I have super thick hair from my mothers side so it isn't a option to save or use those hair removal creams. My god anyone who says this isn't painful is nuts! It hurts! But you just have to bite down on something and take it. Beauty is pain, it leaves my legs and arms sooo smooth and i love the waxing strips it comes with, I can't seem to find it anywhere else I would like it in a large roll.. But my goodness I love using it on others and when it comes to myself I take the pain for that one little hour and have great legs for almost more than 2 weeks!posted Jun 4, 2011Link to this post

NkMoney Saver, But Takes PracticeI've used the wax warmer several times, trying different kinds of wax, and I think this was a good purchase. It's basically paid for itself already in hairs removed, if not in time saved. You really do need to practice to get your technique down and be efficient. Order extra removal strips if you're planning to do legs and you're not experienced. I used all the included strips up just on attempting to do my lower legs and still didn't finish.
I didn't have any problems with the warmup time. It took maybe 45 minutes to warm, and then I turned it down towards medium. You can start waxing just using the hotter wax around the edges, while the middle keeps heating up, too.
The lotions included are good. I was happy to have the wax remover.posted Jun 2, 2011Link to this post -
RebeccaCaliforniaHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairPrepare Properly & You Will Love This.I had never waxed my legs before I bought this kit. I tried microwave wax on my eyebrows and was successful so I thought I would try this. IT totally WORKS. Even for a novice like me.
BUT, you have to do a few things before you just plug the thing in and make a giant mess.
1. Watch a video on how to wax the body part you want to wax. Youtube has great videos like this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MU5rWcfyac
2. Follow the instructions. If your hair isn't long enough, it's not coming off. And exfoliate the morning or evening before. A homemade salt scrub works best (it's just 2 parts sea salt to 1 part baby oil). Use baby powder. It ensures the wax sticks properly to the hair. If the hair you are waxing is oily from lotion, the wax won't stick.
3. Lay an old sheet down (I read this on another review and it saved my carpet from a sticky death)
Also, use the warmest temperature your skin can handle (test on wrist FIRST!). The wax is easier to work with and it allows you to cover a larger area.
The only other complaint I saw here was that the wax wouldn't heat up. If you get one and this happens, just send it back because it's defective. My wax was ready to go in about 45 minutes.
Hope this helps! Happy waxing!!

SaraWashingtonGreat Product!This kit is phenomenal! I read some of the negative comments on here and they definitely sound like people who have little to NO experience waxing themselves or other people. I am a licensed esthetician and I can tell you that if you know how to wax properly or even halfway decently, this is a fantastic kit to have. Everything comes contained in a plastic carrying case and the electrical cord wraps neatly around the base of the wax pot so it is neatly stored away. I agree that the honey wax they give you isn't the best (I went and purchased a creme wax which I prefer to work with anyway) and neither is the quality of the fabric strips they give you, but despite these things (which are minor... you can still get a great wax out of the items provided) you do receive a lot with the kit. I found that the wax heated up very quickly and you can control the temperature very well.
As for some of the negative reviews on here that I read: 1) The wax they give you is not a hard wax. It will never be hard enough for you to pull off without the use of a fabric strip. 2) If you think the temperature of the wax may be too hot, TEST IT on your wrist BEFORE applying it to the area you wish to wax. This is a basic rule of thumb. 3) Clients tend to think that because they've been waxed by a professional for years, this qualifies them as an expert. Being waxed and waxing others are two completely different experiences. There are professional techniques that are used to minimize pain and redness. It's not specifically the wax that's causing you pain (unless it's too hot), but the technique (or lack thereof) of the waxer.posted Apr 29, 2011Link to this post -
