I have used this product on my upper lip and on my bakini and it works very well! I highly recommend this product to anyone who really just wants a nice at home kit. I also love the lotion you put on after your done waxing. It smells so good and it really relaxes your skin after. AMAZING PRODUCT! BUY IT!
Very nice at home wax kit

I bought this product after reading a bundle of mixed reviews. I have had a professional brazilian wax, and I wax my own eyebrows and other body parts. I hated spending so much at a salon to have a random person wax my "special place" and then have it grow back 3 days later, it wasn't worth it. I bought this product so I could try waxing at home because I was tired of shaving. I found that the negative reviews would be correct if the person hadn't tried waxing ever before, or didn't follow directions correctly. I microwaved the wax for 30 seconds, then stirred, then another, then stirred, then one more time, stirred and it was the perfect consistency. It was easy to spread, dried quickly, if it dried to slow for some of you, you heated it too long. It was more painful trying to get an end up on the wax to wax it off, so strips would be helpful in preventing initial pain. As for waxing it off, it was less painful then in a salon. Overall, I had great results, I did have to pluck a few hairs, but so far no grow back and it has been 3 days. My advice to those having problems with it, you should go to a salon first to see what they do, to better understand how to properly wax. Second, waxes hurt, this product doesn't deserve negative reviews for pain, the first wax always hurts, but after that it gets easier. Third depending on your microwave the way it heats is going to vary, so judge by the initial 30 seconds. If it is still too hard then microwave again and try to stir every time. The consistency I had that worked the best was like a heated caramel. I definitely recommend this product to someone who knows how to wax themselves, and doesn't try to rush the process, because it is time consuming to get a nice even wax! I have tried other waxes, and they just didn't get the job done, so this is definitely a product I will continue to use.
Awesome Product!

If you follow the directions, this kit works great! This was my first time doing the brazilian and everything worked just as you would expect it to in a salon. The wax really removes all of the hair. Great way to save yourself some money every few weeks! I definitely will be buying more in the future!
Love it! Love it! Love it!

Waxing myself with GiGi Brazilian Bikini Wax was way less painful than when I went to the salon and paid $60. This was the first time I tried to wax myself at home. I'm so pleased with the results that I can't wait to do it again. The product is great!
Works Wonders!!!

Ladies, this is the best!! I just bought one and I had salon like results only cheaper and I didnt have to show my intimate areas to an stranger!!! It is painful, I wont lie! but it is so worthy!!! My tip to make it less painful is to trim the hair up to 0.5 cm long, or maybe less and start from the bottom working your way up to the top (if you are going to go complete bold as I do) also the numbing spray works, still hurts but not as bad!! This product is the best I've tried, its not messy and it does work wonderful!! I love it!! oohh I use it for my underarm area and it is beautiful I simple LOVE THIS PRODUCT, it is an excellent product!! and ladies! go bold! it is nice!!
EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!

I love this wax, I have never been to a professional yet I did this on my own and loved it. If I can do it, you can do it! just be careful when handling. All those people that gave this wax bad reviews must be reviewing other waxes or just plain clumsy. When stirring it, stir s l o w.
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 didn't have near the pain I experience when done professionally. Will definitely buy/use again.
Very Impressed

I 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!!
great for men too

LOVED it. At $65 for a pro, this was as easy and efficient as it's 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.
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 there's hair that's partially stuck to the wax on that particular side, it'll be painful when you rip it off. And yes, you don't 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 don't have to go back to the salon ever again!
